I didn't get there this year, but it's been great when I have gone in the past.

The large bridges are phenomenal, and so are all the buildings representing many landmarks in NYC.

My only slight negative bias is that I would suggest the night-time viewing they used to promote (not sure if it's every year?) may not really be the best.  I felt that many of the scenes within the building benefited more from having the natural daylight help out to see all the details.  The lit up scenes at night were OK, but it was much harder to see the details.

(so in case I wasn't clear, I highly recommend seeing this, but see it during the day! )

ABOUT THE ARTIST


What one may see as just a piece of bark or a fallen berry, Holiday Train Show®creator Paul Busse envisions as stone on the Brooklyn Bridge or an ornament on St. Patrick's Cathedral. On a walk through the woods on his property in Alexandria, Kentucky, where he and his wife, Margaret, run their design company Applied Imagination, he and the artists on his team inevitably bring back some interesting tidbit that can be used in crafting one of his magical displays.

Paul's reputation as a designer of wondrous landscapes built around trains and structures made from plant parts took off when he mounted the first Holiday Train Show® for The New York Botanical Garden in 1992. Since then, he has produced special exhibits for many other venues around the country; his current work can be viewed at:
