Bringing the Family: 20 Days of the Holiday Train Show
Posted in Holiday Train Show on December 3 2011, by Matt Newman
“We were amazed and awed by the intricate design and detail of the scenery and the other accompaniments gracing the exhibit while we visited.”
From now until December 17, our visitors will be sharing their fondest memories from 20 years of the Holiday Train Show–some of them touching, some comical, and every one of them cherished. Come back to Plant Talk each day for a new story, which you can see after the jump along with a feature on one of the many replica New York City landmarks on display in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory–the Guggenheim Museum, Yankee Stadium, the Empire State Building and more.
As a bonus, read on to find out how you can win a Family Four-Pack of Holiday Train Show tickets for yourself!
On January 3, 2009, ten of my family members had the time of their lives at The New York Botanical Garden. Five of my grandchildren and five adult parents, along with an aunt and uncle were introduced to the delightful world of the Holiday Train Show.
All of the events and activities following the show were loads of fun for all. The Thomas and Friends show and The Little Engine That Could were especially wonderful. We were amazed and awed by the intricate design and detail of the scenery and the other accompaniments gracing the exhibit while we visited. It was a marvelous day, and it even snowed a little to enhance the atmosphere during our time there!
We loved the gift shop, not to mention lunch at the Café and picking out souvenirs, which made the day complete! The Garden brings me back to a date and time growing up in the Bronx when it was a great time to be a child. I can’t wait to come back and bring the rest of the family!

Saks Fifth Avenue
Architects Starrett & Van Vleck designed this luxurious department store in 1922 in a Renaissance-inspired style appropriate to the exclusive character of Fifth Avenue.
Today, Saks continues to expand on the national and international markets, though its flagship store in Manhattan still generates a significant amount of the company’s revenue.
