Ride through miniature New York City

All aboard!

The New York Botanical Garden presents its annual Holiday Train Show now through Jan. 18, 2016.

The magic of New York City during the holidays is conveyed with G-scale model trains zooming by miniaturized New York City landmarks decked out in twinkling lights. This year’s display returns with more trains and more tracks — dazzling families with an additional 3,000 square feet of exhibition space.

The New York landmarks are meticulously crafted of natural materials by designer Paul Busse and his team. Visitors will want to look for the original Yankee Stadium, The Statue of Liberty, and the John F. Kennedy Airport.

Holiday Train Show now through Jan. 18. Daily, 11 am to 5 pm. Included with an All Garden Pass.

New York Botanical Garden [200th Street and Kazimiroff Boulevard in Bronx Park, (718) 817–8700; www.nybg.org].

Maybe your tween or teen is still a bit isolated and craves connection with their peers? Whether your teen/tween has played D&D before or is brand-new to the experience, this safe space brings players together to have fun and solve problems as a team in ways few other online opportunities do.</p> <p>All our games focus on experiential learning.   Our players leave knowing all the basic game play as well as experiencing: teamwork, bravery, compassion, generosity, negotiation, improvisation, gamer etiquette, strategy, critical thinking, problem solving, cartography and probability - all through online D&D adventuring!</p> <p>We are an inclusive organization and welcome gamers who are LGBTQIA+ and those on any spectrum. </p> <p>All girls’ groups available. </p> <p>I am a parent, a certified elementary school and middle school math teacher and last summer in the midst of the mess started Adventuring Portal, an online Dungeons & Dragons business for kids. There are so many benefits to playing D&D and I hope you will consider us as a great way for your child to safely socialize, grow as people and have a great time.</p>
