A Jurassic Holiday Adventure

Highlights

Description

Take your holiday celebration back in time at the **Dino Lights Christmas Festival**, where prehistoric giants meet the sparkle of the season. Held at The Dinosaur Place at Nature’s Art Village, this immersive outdoor event transforms 60 acres of parkland into a twinkling wonderland of glowing dinosaurs, cheerful carols, and festive family fun. Follow the illuminated trail as you encounter towering T-Rexes and gentle Brachiosaurus wrapped in colorful lights, each display more dazzling than the last. Kids can climb and slide through the **Giant Lighted Playscape**, burn off that holiday energy, and meet friendly staff ready to share dinosaur facts and fun stories. Warm up at the cocoa station, enjoy s’mores by the fire, and strike a pose at themed photo stops—perfect for your next family Christmas card. The combination of ancient creatures and Christmas cheer makes for a one-of-a-kind night that’s equal parts magical and memorable.
