MetroNorth is back on schedule which means it’s easy to get to Botanical Garden Station to visit the Holiday Train Show, where our trains never stopped running on schedule inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory (despite the Boxing Day Blizzard).

To get you excited to come visit one of New York City’s most beloved holiday traditions, take a look at this exclusive, behind the scenes look at the making of the Holiday Train Show.

Holiday week is always a hot ticket, so beat the rush and buy your tickets in advance. For more tips, see our insider’s guide to the Train Show.

My nephews, like millions of other peoples’ nephews, are obsessed with trains. Obviously, I cannot wait to bring them here to the Garden this year for the Holiday Train Show, and I’m promising them a full-on train adventure.
