6. New York Botanical Garden Holiday Train Show
The New York Botanical Garden is bringing back its Holiday Train Show this year with the promise to be bigger and better than ever. Watch trains zip by hundreds of scale models of iconic New York buildings, like Yankee Stadium or the Empire State Building. Be sure to look above you to catch 1800s steam engines and street cars traveling over New York City bridges and through tunnels in a brand-new aerial display overhead. The team behind the show, Applied Imagination, takes an environmentally friendly route with their projects, for example using screw-bean mesquite pods to represent the hair on the Statue of Liberty model or Eucalyptus seed pods to build Saks Fifth Avenue.
