Holiday Train Show at NY Botanical Garden

I read about this in the paper this weekend and am wondering if it is worth making the trip to the Bronx to see when I'm in NYC next week. There are only grownups in the group. Do you have to be a kid to enjoy it? Thanks to anyone who has input on this.

It's definitely worth seeing....with or without children!

I've gone with my daughter for the last 3 years. I'm fascinated by things like the Guggenheim Museum made out of mushrooms, and she's looking for the ladybug train. It's a lot of fun, with children or without and the Garden itself is spectacular, even in winter.

I went last year [just a girlfriend and myself] and it was excellent! Be sure to bring a camera.

Depends on how ong you have in the city, how often you've been here before and what elese you have or haven't seen.

It's definitly cute - I've seen in 2 yers - but if I weren't local it wouldnlt be on my hit list.
