Nice display of lights at Christmas
We visited for the Holiday Lights. This is a very well done display with the 12 Days of Christmas and so many lights on the trees. The large tree synchronized to music is a bonus. The cost is great for this event. (Living in Indy and going to something similar with less display costs significantly more.) We also went into the house on site which shows a huge collection of nativities and absolutely worth it. The only disappointment was the food situation. From the website, we expected something like food trucks that would then allow for a picnic-like situation. There really isn't any food, so we cut our visit short in order to seek out dinner.

Beautiful
The Dallas arboretum is beautiful. Their fall pumpkin patch, face painting, and petting zoo is really the coolest time of year to come. Parking can be a bit chaotic and the price is high.
