A Christmas Train Show featuring miniature model trains winding through tracks of various kinds has opened at the Flower Dome of Gardens by the Bay in Singapore for the first time.

The show, launched on Dec. 2, will run until Jan. 5, 2025, allowing visitors to experience miniature trains traversing scenic landscapes within the gardens, The Straits Times reported.

The display, presented in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy in Singapore, features a series of model trains running through miniature versions of famous American landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, and the Statue of Liberty.

To view the train show, visitors must purchase a ticket to the Flower Dome. Ticket prices are S$12 (US$9) for adults and S$8 for children and seniors on weekdays, and S$27 for adults and S$23 for children and seniors on weekends and public holidays.

Gardens by the Bay spans 101 hectares and consists of three waterfront gardens, with the largest being Bay South Garden, which houses two cooled conservatories and several iconic "Supertrees."

Recently, it was named the most loved tourist attraction in Asia by Tripadvisor readers.
