The Holiday Train Show at The New York Botanical Garden

Looking for kid-friendly events during the winter break? The Holiday Train Show at the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx is a long-time family favorite.

Here's how the organizers describe it:

"One of the most eagerly anticipated traditions of the season, the critically acclaimed Holiday Train Show presents an enchanted New York, wrapped in the glow of twinkling lights in the warmth of America's premier glasshouse, the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. More than a dozen large-scale model railway trains and trolleys—traverse nearly a quarter-mile of track across rustic bridges, along overhead trestles, through tunnels, and past waterfalls that cascade into flowing creeks.

"Also new this year, Thomas the Tank Engine will join the fleet of model trains animating amazing replicas such as the Statue of Liberty, Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the original Penn Station and Yankee Stadium—all created from plant parts."
