Holiday Classic Brings Seasonal Wonder to NorthPark Center

Nov 28, 2025 08:40AM ● By Bernice Butler

The beloved NorthPark Center Trains return for the 2025 holiday season, delighting families with one of Dallas’ most treasured traditions. Running from November 16, 2025 through January 5, 2026, the exhibit is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m., with extended hours during peak holiday weeks.

This year’s expanded layout features more than 1,600 feet of handcrafted track winding through a richly detailed miniature landscape that includes notable Dallas landmarks, festive villages, snow-kissed countryside scenes and whimsical holiday moments. New for 2025 are refreshed cityscapes with updated architectural details, enhanced lighting effects for greater nighttime ambiance, and newly added interactive viewing portals designed to spark curiosity and engage younger visitors.

Select dates will also feature special family-focused moments, including themed storytelling hours and holiday photo opportunities that add an extra layer of seasonal magic to the experience.

First debuted in 1987, the NorthPark Trains have become a cherished multigenerational tradition, blending artistry, engineering and nostalgia. All proceeds benefit The Ronald McDonald House of Dallas, supporting families with seriously ill children during the holidays.

Location: NorthPark Center, 8687 North Central Expressway, Dallas. For more information, call 214-363-7441 or visit NorthParkCenter.com.
