From the moment we stepped into <em>Radio City Music Hall<\/em>, we were transported into a winter wonderland. The lobby was filled with twinkling lights, festive decorations, and an undeniable buzz of excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The show itself was breathtaking! The Rockettes were mesmerizing. <em>The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers<\/em> and <em>New York at Christmas<\/em> had us in awe. We loved Santa\u2019s grand entrance and the dazzling projections that made the entire theater feel like a snow globe. It is a show that the whole family will enjoy. The experience is one you&#8217;ll never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We also joined the guided tour of Radio City Music Hall and really enjoyed it!

through a stunning miniature NYC landscape. The display showcases over 190 iconic landmarks. See the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Yankee Stadium. All of the landmarks are intricately crafted from natural materials like bark, leaves, and acorns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Set within the warm, tropical setting of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, this exhibit is a must-visit for families, train enthusiasts, and holiday lovers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/event\/holiday-train-show-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">WEBSITE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New York Public Library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Library Gets All Dolled Up for Christmas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Other traditional Christmas decorations in Astor Hall at the Stephen A.
