Description
After more than three decades, the Holiday Train Show continues to delight as New York City’s favorite winter tradition and a can’t-miss adventure. The timeless magic of rail travel fills NYBG with seasonal cheer as model trains travel over famous bridges and through familiar City settings, bringing nearly 200 twinkling landmark replicas—including new surprises for 2026/2027—to life under the glass of the warm and welcoming Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Get up close to see these miniature masterpieces, each one meticulously crafted from plant parts like palm fronds, pinecones, and cinnamon sticks. Outside, explore a glowing mountain-scape brimming with even more trains and picture-perfect moments. Whether young or old, the Holiday Train Show has sparked wonder in generations of visitors—and it’s the City’s best way to celebrate the season with all your loved ones.

Marvel at model trains zipping through an enchanting display of more than 175 famous New York landmarks—imagine the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Rockefeller Center, and other favorites—each delightfully re-created from natural materials such as pine cones, acorns, and seeds. Then explore the Garden’s 250 acres and 50 gardens and collections at your own pace or by taking a narrated tram tour. Round out your visit with a bite to eat from the Pine Tree Café or enjoy a sit down meal at the Hudson Garden Grill. Also, make sure to stop by NYBG Shop to discover signature items for home and garden, and find new and unusual plants for indoors and out, nature-inspired toys, distinctive personal accessories, exhibition-related items, and more.
