everyone loves trains, and if you haven’t gotten your fix yet, then you’ll definitely want to see this gargantuan set-up at The Trains at NorthPark Center. A must-see for the young, and the young-at-heart. Since 1987, the Trains at NorthPark have been delighting the hearts and minds of young and old alike.
The Trains at NorthPark marks its 20th year at NorthPark Center. Presented by BANK OF TEXAS, this holiday family tradition has become a favorite for generations of Dallasites and includes more than 750 rail cars on 1600 feet of track rolling from coast to coast on a whimsical rail journey across America.
The Trains travel from the autumn foliage of New England to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge with stops along the way to see New York City, Washington DC, Dallas, and the desert Southwest including the Grand Canyon and the Garden of the Gods—there’s even some interplanetary visitors from Outer Space! More than 75,000 visitors are entertained each season.
