The Holiday Train Show is one of the most anticipated events for everyone in the tri-state area, and especially for those seeking an easy, authentic New York experience for all ages.

Here you will find replicas of New York's most memorable landmarks. The Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall, and more!

This year, the collection is introducing brand new sites, including the Rose Center for Earth and Space and Yankee Stadium amongst other landmarks, now immortalized in leaves, berries, twigs, and other plant parts.

That's all well and good, but what about the trains? This is the train show, after all. Well, they're all here: everything from late 1800's steam engines and circus cars to high speed passenger trains. It's great watching them go by old New York townhouses, under waterfalls, over bridges, and chugging through tunnels.

This is the stuff dreams are made of. It's a great show, and we at IFD hope you make it out. It works for families events, dating, friends and more.
