Holiday Train Show Sensory Friendly Mornings

November 21, 2026 & January 9, 2027

9 to 11 a.m. | Haupt Conservatory

Sensory friendly exhibition viewing and All-Garden Pass

Join us for a Sensory Friendly Morning for anyone who would like a calmer visit to the Holiday Train Show. Additionally, your ticket provides access to NYBG’s outdoor gardens and collections.

Staff will be present to support your visit as you enter and explore the Holiday Train Show without videos or music playing, for a more relaxed visit from 9 to 11 a.m. Trains and waterfalls will remain on for everyone to enjoy. A quiet space and alternate exit from the Conservatory will be available for the duration of the program.

This sensory friendly experience is primarily for, but not limited to, families with autistic children, autistic young people and adults, and any other visitors who may prefer a more relaxed experience, plus their families, friends, and caregivers.

Visitors will receive a confirmation email with the option to print or download a mobile ticket.
