Holiday at the Arboretum

Though anytime of the year is magical at the Dallas Arboretum, this stunning 66-acre acre oasis becomes even more enchanting during the holidays when it undergoes a magnificent seasonal makeover. Along with close to one million lights illuminating the gardens, the Arboretum is bringing back its ever popular 12 Days of Christmas, an outdoor exhibit featuring twelve illuminated Victorian gazebos filled with elaborate scenes and whimsical characters. Meanwhile, the historic DeGolyer House will be transformed into a European style Christmas Village featuring a variety of themed houses to explore. Also expect to find Santa sightings, musical performances, seasonal tastings plus an assortment of activities geared for the entire family. Holiday events run from November 13 through December 31, Wednesday through Sunday from 6-9pm. General admission is $12 for children (ages 3-12) and $17 for adults.
