It’s not chilly outside yet, but the seasonal sales and never-ending holiday movie marathons are signs that the most wonderful time of year is indeed approaching.

If you live in our neighborhood, another tell-tale sign that the holidays are here is the return of The Trains at NorthPark. The longtime tradition, which began in 1987, features a 1,600-foot train track that winds through a 4,000-square-foot elaborate replica of the United States from the White House to the Grand Canyon.

The Bank of Texas-sponsored exhibit costs $7 per adult and $3 per child, and raises funds for the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas.

This year’s exhibit opens Nov. 19 and runs until Jan. 8. Get all the details here.
