The New York Botanical Garden's wondrous Holiday Train Show will open this Saturday, November 21, but you can get a never-before-seen look at the show now—by checking out this video from the train's perspective.
Besides the recreations of New York landmarks out of twigs, bark, fruit, seeds, pine cones and more (see past years here), the NYBG says the exhibition now has 3,000 more square feet, including a new short film showing the behind-the-scenes work: "new trains, tracks, and bridges and 360° viewing opportunities of some of the most intricate structures" plus a "multisensory finale featuring sound and light under the Haupt Conservatory’s 90-foot-high glass dome."
The New York Botanical Garden Holiday Train Show runs from November 21, 2015 through January 18, 2016. Advanced reservations are recommended.
