It’s Opening Week for the Holiday Train Show!

The Holiday Train ShowThe hum and clack of miniature trains fills the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory right now. Familiar bridges made of branches and vines arch overhead, and miniature manors ring the walkways with lights glowing in their tiny amber windows. Okay, so that’s a little bit purple, but how else can you possibly describe our favorite winter exhibition? The Holiday Train Show is just about ready to throw open its doors this Saturday, November 16, and we couldn’t be more ready.

Ivo recently had a chance to peek inside and get a glimpse of the arrangements ahead of the weekend, so I thought I’d pile together some of the photographs he collected in the Conservatory and share them with everyone! With more trains than ever before, a fresh “Streets of New York” dining experience taking place in our Conservatory Tent, and all the ambiance of a perfect holiday season, you don’t want to miss this. (And did I mention Bar Car Nights are back?)

The Holiday Train Show runs from November 16 through January 12, 2014, giving you ample opportunity to hop the Metro-North or a convenient subway train and make some memories. And for supporters, don’t forget that this Friday, November 15, is Member Preview Day. Because peak holiday dates are always in high demand, it’s best to register your tickets early. They’re on sale now so don’t miss out!
