Hop aboard the Holiday Express

Come aboard the Holiday Express at the New York Historical Society on Nov. 7 and Nov. 22.

Budding train enthusiasts take a ride and learn fascinating facts about the history of transportation and trains, and families will play with toy trains, lay wooden tracks, and work together to solve a special train-themed matching game. All participants will take home a special train souvenir!

Recommended for children 3 to 6 years old. The event coincides with the Toy and Train exhibit of the Jerni Collection that is on view now through Feb. 28, 2016.

Holiday Express, Nov. 7 and 22 at 2 pm; tickets are $8 plus museum admission.
