The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden announces the official opening of the $2 million exhibition, The 12 Days of Christmas. Unique in the world, the exhibit features dramatically designed 25-foot-tall gazebos that have been designed for each day of the popular carol. Each gazebo includes either life-size Victorian-costumed mannequins or whimsical animals, with music accompanying each gazebo. The Arboretum selected the same team that creates many of the elaborate sets and intricate costumes for The Dallas Opera.
During the evening, the garden will remain open from 6 p.m.-10 p.m. for The 12 Days at Night, showcasing the beautifully illuminated gazebos. During this time, visitors will be even further immersed in the Victorian-era holiday theme as they enjoy live carolers. Purchasing evening tickets in advance is highly recommended.
