Santa arrives at Galleria Dallas on Friday, Nov. 14, and will welcome guests in Santaland, Texas’ most immersive holiday tradition. Galleria Dallas is proud to offer the area’s most technologically advanced Santa experience, where families board a magical train, seeing the sights as they move from Dallas to the North Pole, and thanks to Santaland’s special wish list technology, Santa knows what kids want under the tree on Christmas morning.

There will be designated times for Santa experiences for those with pets, families with children with special needs, and even a Spanish-speaking Santa. Budget-minded guests will find discounted tickets on Mondays and Tuesdays. Reservations are strongly recommended and can be made online now at snowdaydallas.com.

After visiting Santaland, guests will want to continue on to SNOWDAY, the acclaimed immersive exhibit that changes every holiday season and has become a tradition for DFW families. Guests will explore the secret town where Santa’s elves live, an immense space with Hollywood-grade sets and styling creating some of the elves’ favorite places, along with state-of-the-art, touch-free photo technology. SNOWDAY even integrates AI image processing into a photo op, which allows for surreal holiday photos of guests.

Additional features include an upgraded multimedia show including lights, sounds and videos, culminating with “real” snowfall; a Christmas kaleidoscope photo op; and, of course, fan-favorite rooms like the Christmas lights maze and others have been reimagined for 2025.

Guests also can purchase snacks at Santa’s helpers’ favorite watering hole, The Tipsy Elf. Even if you’ve been to SNOWDAY before, you’ll want to come again to capture all its magical, Instagrammable moments.
