There is Still Time To Visit The 25th Annual Holiday Train Show Open Until Jan 16 @NYBG

 

It’s not too late to visit the New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Train Show, a beloved New York City tradition. This year the Train show showcases the Coney Island Cyclone and will join the collection of more than 150 replicas of New York buildings that are all made out of plant parts and enlivened by large-scale model trains.

In addition to the famous Cyclone, new this year are Coney Island’s Wonder Wheel (complete with LED sign) and the Elephantine Colossus, a gigantic elephant-shaped hotel from the 1890s. The Holiday Train Show already features several Coney Island structures, including the Galveston Flood Building, the Luna Park Arch, the Luna Park Central Tower, and the Luna Park Ticket Booth. All of the collection’s Coney Island models will be displayed in the Reflecting Pool of the Palms of the World Gallery in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. This year the 30-foot-long Brooklyn Bridge will be relocated to the Palms Gallery, completing the Brooklyn scene. The Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge will also make its exhibition debut.
