Holiday Train Show“When Zachary was three years old, he took his baby sister to the Train Show for the very first time.”

From now until December 17, our visitors will be sharing their fondest memories from 20 years of the Holiday Train Show–some of them touching, some comical, and every one of them cherished. Come back to Plant Talk each day for a new story, which you can see after the jump along with a feature on one of the many replica New York City landmarks on display in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory–the Guggenheim Museum, Yankee Stadium, the Empire State Building and more.

As a bonus, read on to find out how you can win a Family Four-Pack of Holiday Train Show tickets for yourself!


Hand-Me-Downs

Zachary loves trains–small trains and big trains. And when Zachary was three years old, he took his baby sister to the Train Show for the very first time. Now she loves trains just as much as he does.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Solomon R. Guggenheim MuseumDesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Guggenheim is a museum on the Upper East Side that is home to thousands of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern, and contemporary art works. It is often regarded as one of the most significant architectural productions of the twentieth century, known for its curvaceous cylindrical design.

It took Wright 15 years to see the work through from concept to completion.
