Bundle up your family, get out of the house, and experience the most unique family-friendly holiday event in North Texas. On December 6 & 7, 2024 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Holidays at the Heard will bring the beauty of the holiday season into nature.

Holiday lights and décor will accentuate a lovely half-mile Heard nature trail. Your family will be enchanted by this nighttime hike through the woods. Also, you'll get a glimpse of the Dinosaurs Live! exhibit along the trail. Please note that the dinosaurs will not be animated during the event. In keeping with the Heard’s role as a nature preserve, this light display is designed to enhance, rather than overpower, the sanctuary’s natural beauty. Festive music will delight audiences under the stars in the Heard outdoor amphitheater. Watch for additional details (coming soon).

Support the Heard and have fun with the whole family at this fun, holiday fundraiser. Tickets are $17 for adults & seniors and $14 for kids 3-12 (children 2 and under are free). Tickets for Heard Museum Members are only $5 per person.
