Holiday Train Show^®

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 2025/2026—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. Then head outside to explore a glowing mountain-scape brimming with even more trains and picture-perfect moments. Whether young or old, the Holiday Train Show has sparked delight in generations of visitors—and it’s the city’s best way to celebrate the season with all your loved ones!
