HOLIDAY TRAIN SHOW

The Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is an artistic marvel. Whether you are an adult or child, this show is for everyone. You’ll see landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. All the structures are made of a combination of seeds, pods, mushrooms, twigs, and other elements of nature — all the while as trains whisk by. The exhibit has been extended to the exterior of the building. nybg.org

How did you get there?

I’m a New Yorker and don’t have a car. I bought a ticket for the Metro North train leaving from Grand Central. I was at the NYBG within a half hour. Following are some of the images I took away from the display. Additional videos can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/Martha Danielle Lanzillotti
