The Dallas Arboretum's holiday season runs from November 11 through January 3, 2027, and this year is billed as the final season of the 12 Days of Christmas gazebos — twelve glass-sided gazebos that have stood in the 66-acre garden since 2014. Families can walk through the Christmas Village, see the decorated historic DeGolyer House, listen to seasonal music and stop at the photo spots along the way. There are three ways to visit: Daytime (9am–4pm), Holiday at Night (5pm–10pm, sold online only) and a cheaper Night Owl entry (8:30pm–10pm). Daytime admission is listed at $21.95–$25.95 for adults and $17.95–$21.95 for children 3–12, and children under 2 get in free. Holiday at Night is $35–$40 for general admission (ages 2+), and Night Owl is $15. Members visit free in the daytime and pay a reduced rate at night. The exact price depends on the date you pick. Night tickets cost $4 more at the gate, so buying ahead saves money. Most visits take a couple of hours on foot, so bring a stroller for little ones.
