Outside of Santa’s Village right here in Richardson, there are numerous holiday attractions across the Dallas area that are worth a look. Here are three of the hottest holiday spots!
Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden
Nov. 6 - Jan. 8, 2017
The 12 Days of Christmas Exhibit has returned to the Dallas Arboretum and it’s just as spectacular as ever! Take your family out to see the dramatic garden exhibit, which features intricately decorated Victorian-style gazebos that stand 25 feet tall. The gazebos house whimsical scenes that represent the 12 Days of Christmas with unique characters, animals and decorations. Nighttime showings are particularly breathtaking, but even if you can only make it during the day, it’s worth the visit. Learn more here.
ICE! And Lone Star Christmas
Nov. 10 - Jan. 1, 2017
A little further away in Historic Grapevine, numerous holiday attractions are open to the public. Kids can get pictures with Jolly Old Saint Nicholas and families won’t want to miss ICE! And Lone Star Christmas, which includes snow tubing, crazy sculptures carved from over 2 million pounds of ice, a 54-foot tall Christmas tree and other sites. There’s a reason why Grapevine is called the Christmas Capital of the World – go see for yourself!
