Deets: After more than three decades, the Holiday Train Show® celebrates its 35th year at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). The popular exhibition runs from November 14, 2026, through January 10, 2027, with tickets on sale now, continuing 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 traverse over famous bridges and through familiar City settings, bringing nearly 200 twinkling landmark replicas, including new surprises for 2026-2027, 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. Outside, explore a glowing mountain-scape brimming with even more trains and picture-perfect moments. 

A new miniature masterpiece joins this year’s Holiday Train Show lineup: a botanical replica of One Vanderbilt, one of New York City’s newest architectural icons and the home of the world-renowned immersive observatory experience SUMMIT One Vanderbilt.

Extended hours on select dates this year allow for more viewing opportunities. 

The Holiday Train Show has sparked wonder in generations of visitors, and it’s the City’s best way to celebrate the season.
