12 Days of Christmas at the Arboretum


The winter season is beginning and this is one attraction that is sure to put you in the holiday spirit.

The Dallas Arboretum opened the 12 Days of Christmas, featuring 12 Christmas themed gazebos.

“The last time I was here was during the summer and I’m really glad I revisited because every gazebo is so intricate,” visitor Avery Hinson said.

Each gazebo is a different take on one of the versus from the classic Christmas tune.

The 12 days of Christmas is the perfect introduction to the holiday season.

“It’s a great spot in Dallas. I really wanted to come here. And it really gets me into the holiday spirit,” visitor Robbie Leslie said.

From the two turtle doves to the 12 drummers drumming and a partridge in a pear tree, guest enjoy the extravagant display at the arboretum.

“I’ve walked past all 12 gazebos and the display is absolutely incredible. I would definitely like to bring my family back here again,” visitor Brij Sahney said.

The 12 days of Christmas is not the only holiday attraction. “The Artistry of the Nativity” is being featured at the Arboretum in DeGolyer House. The holiday displays at the Dallas Arboretum will continue until New Year’s Eve.
