The New York Botanical Garden is getting ready for their 125th anniversary, and you won’t want to miss it! Here is a short list of the upcoming events the NYBG is planning to make this year better than ever.
  • Holiday Train Show- This event has been underway since November 21st, but you still have plenty of time to enjoy the model trains as they travel through a beautiful reproduction of the New York City landscape with over 150 landmarks to astound you. This year the show features 3,000 square feet of additional exhibition space with almost a half mile of track. You have until January 18 to enjoy this very special display.
  • Bar Car Nights-Enjoy exclusive evenings of cocktails and holiday entertainment for the over 21 crowd. There will be ten events held between November and January, with live performances, ice sculpting, and fire spinning, as well as the train display, and more.
  • Celebrating the NYBG: 125 Years- Enjoy the photographs of Larry Lederman in the Ross Gallery from November to July 31, 2016. Lederman has been photographing the Garden for 13 years. His photos will astound you, taken in all seasons and all times of day and night.
  • Winter Wonderland Ball- On December 11, 2015, at 7:30 pm until midnight, you can participate in the most “Anticipated Night of the Gala Season.” Come to the 17th annual WWB, the most fashionable event of its kind during the holiday season. Enjoy gourmet dining, beautiful gowns, and great music. The ball helps to support the Garden’s Children’s Education Programs. Be a part of the energy!
