The Dallas Arboretum from mid-November to the end of December: 12 life-size glass gazebos telling the Twelve Days of Christmas, a 50-foot Christmas tree, and more than a million lights. By day you stroll the gardens and the gazebos; the real show is when the lights come on at night.

💡 Tips

Daytime is included in regular admission; the evening lights (Nights at the Arboretum) need a separate timed ticket that sells out fast, check the website. Lights come on at 5:30pm; bring coats and a stroller blanket. Weekend evenings are the most crowded.
