Holidays at the Heard brings the beauty of the holiday season into nature. Bundle up your family, get out of the house, and experience the most unique family-friendly holiday event in North Texas. 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. 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. Enjoy live music in our amphitheater (12/12: Cheap Fast and Easy, 12/13-14: The Coppertones), a visit with Santa, and more!

Adults $17, Seniors & Children ages 3-12 $14, Children ages 2 & under free. Heard members $5.
