This holiday season, the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary invites families, friends, and nature enthusiasts to step into a winter wonderland like no other at Holidays at the Heard on December 6 & 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. Nestled in the heart of McKinney, Texas, the Heard will blend the joy of the holidays with the serene beauty of nature and the excitement of dinosaurs.
Celebrate the Holidays with Nature's Wonders
During this event, visitors will be captivated on a walk along one of the sanctuary's nature trails accentuated by lights and décor. Plus, guests will be able to get a glimpse of the Dinosaurs Live! exhibit. This enchanting evening stroll will offer a magical escape into a world where wildlife and holiday cheer exist in harmony.
Engaging Experiences for All Ages
This year, we are excited to offer live music performances under the stars that will fill the air with festive cheer, creating the perfect backdrop for your holiday experience. On Friday, enjoy classic Americana-rock sounds and holiday cheer from JCD & Lone Star Attitude. And, on Saturday, La Pompe will bring a little bit of French, a little bit of swing, and a whole lot of holiday fun to the Heard amphitheater. Capture the joy of the season with fun photo opportunities, where families can create lasting memories.
