Deets: The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) announces the Holiday Train Show® will make its grand return on Saturday, November 18, 2023, and be on view through Monday, January 15, 2024. For its 32nd year, the beloved holiday tradition, which features model trains zipping through a miniature wonderland of nearly 200 New York landmark replicas, each delightfully re-created from natural materials such as leaves, seeds, twigs, bark, acorns, and cinnamon sticks, will be bigger than ever, with more trains and the addition of an all-new and enchanting outdoor train display, complementing the indoor show in the historic Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. 

On 20 select nights, visitors of all ages can enjoy both the Holiday Train Show and NYBG GLOW, the Botanical Garden’s outdoor holiday light experience, back for its fourth year. 

Fan-favorite Bar Car Nights, for adults age 21 and over, will also make a comeback this season on three select dates, Thursdays, December 7 and December 14, 2023, and Friday, January 5, 2024. Bar Car Nights feature adults-only nighttime viewing of the Holiday Train Show and NYBG GLOW, with light bites and curated cocktails available for purchase and enjoyment as visitors journey through the exhibition with friends and loved ones. 

Hint for the Average Socialite: Tickets for the Holiday Train Show, NYBG GLOW, and Bar Car Nights go on sale to NYBG Members beginning Tuesday, September 12, 2023, and to the general public beginning Thursday, September 14, 2023.
