The one festive outing that actually works for busy parents!

After last year’s runaway success, the Christmas Train Show returns bigger and smarter for 2025. Inside the air-conditioned Flower Dome, almost 20 model trains race along 145 metres of triple-level tracks. They zip under bridges, vanish into tunnels, and glide overhead while passing botanical versions of the Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge, and a glowing LEGO Nyhavn harbour. The 2025 highlight? A one-of-a-kind G-scale SMRT train made from recycled Singapore timber that chugs past Dragon Playground, Supertrees, and Peranakan shophouses in honour of SG60. Let’s dive into BusyKidd’s guide to Christmas Train Show 2025 at Gardens by the Bay!
