November 21st-January 18th
Enchanting model trains navigate their way through a whimsical landscape featuring over 150 iconic landmarks. With loving attention to detail, each scene is recreated from Mother Nature, incorporating bark, leaves and other natural materials- all under the twinkling glow of the New York Botanical Gardens Conservatory. Locomotives hum along familiar sights such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, and Rockefeller Center on nearly a half mile track. This years’ exhibit features 3,000 square feet of additional exhibition space, making room for dozens of new trains, bridges and tracks. Be sure to check out the captivating short film of the show’s behind- the -scenes magic.
The Train Show is painstakenly created by artist Paul Busse. Paul finds his inspiration in the woods that surround his Alexandria, Kentucky home. What the average person may see as just a piece of bark or fallen berry, Paul envisions and recasts as stone on theBrooklyn Bridge or an ornament on St. Patricks Cathedral.
While you’re planning your visit, check out The Gardens’ “Bar Car Nights” – festive evenings (adults only) where you can pick up a complementary cocktail, beer or glass of wine as you explore the conservatory after dark before heading outside for more seasonal fun including live music,ice sculpting and fire performances.
