Watch model trains glide through a mini-New York City

By Posted on

All aboard!

The New York Botanical Garden presents its annual Holiday Train Show now through Dec. 31, 2017.

Over 150 New York City landmarks are recreated in miniature out of bark, nuts, leaves and other plant parts. Large scale model trains zip around such familiar sites as the Statue of Liberty and Rockefeller Center. The magic of New York City during the holidays is conveyed with G-scale model trains zooming by miniaturized city landmarks decked out in twinkling lights.

Holiday Train Show now through Dec.31. Daily, 11 am to 5 pm. Included with an All Garden Pass.

New York Botanical Garden [200th Street and Kazimiroff Boulevard in Bronx Park, (718) 817–8700; www.nybg.org].
