This Jaw Dropping Holiday Lights Place In Dallas – Fort Worth Will Blow You Away
Dallas – Fort Worth is home to spectacular Christmas lights displays. This year, however, the area has truly outdone itself. Not only is there the first-ever to the United States’ Enchant Christmas, which chose Globe Life Park in Arlington as its location, we also feature a spectacular multicultural lantern experience that is making its sparkling debut to the Metroplex as well: Magical Christmas Lights. Here’s why you must visit this Asian-influenced display this holiday season:

The park features not only Dallas - Fort Worth, but a Dinosaur Land, Mystery of the East, Magical Wonderland, and a Christmas Candy Land as well. That way, visitors don't get into a Texas western overload!
What other holiday display features a live performance nightly of Chinese acrobats?

Kids can ride a miniature train, go through a lights maze, visit Santa, and participate in some extra-fun photo opps around the park.
Magical Christmas Lights is open nightly through January 7, 2018, and is located at Lone Star Park, 1000 Lone Star Parkway, in Grand Prairie. Regular admission is $21 and parking is $10. Unlike many other light events in the area, the tickets are open-ended and do not have to be purchased for a particular date or entry time. In addition to the features already listed, there are limited rides, a food truck, a Chinese zodiac featuring lanterns for each animal, and beverage stands.
The display is part of our Christmas lights road trip, which you can follow for a magical trip around Dallas – Fort Worth.
