Entry to Camp Christmas is in 15-minute increments. For example, if your ticket is for 5pm, you’ll be allowed entry between 5pm and 5:15pm.

• Camp Christmas entry times can sell out, especially on weekends and school holidays. We highly encourage purchasing tickets in advance.
• If they are not sold out, tickets will be available for purchase at the on-site box office.
• You may also buy at the on-site box office for a future day, subject to availability.
• Our flexible ticket option allows for entry at any time on the date selected while our Campgrounds are open!

There’s so much to explore at Camp Christmas! You’ll want to plan to visit for around 60-75 minutes and maybe even longer if visiting Santa. (Please note: A special Santa Visit ticket is required for all those young and young at heart).

To give you the time and space to look at all the delicious details! Timed ticketing greatly reduces wait times and overcrowding.

Camp Christmas is located in Strauss Square at the AT&T Performing Arts Center.

• Address: 2389 Flora St, Dallas, TX 75201
• Parking: Parking can be pre-purchased with your tickets in Lexus Silver Parking, located on Jack Evans St. directly across from the Wyly Theatre, and a very short festive walk (3 minutes, 0.1 miles) from the Camp Christmas experience.

Late entry is at the discretion of Camp Christmas staff. Our team will do its very best, but late entry is not guaranteed.

Both indoors and outdoors. Camp Christmas is located in the outdoor venue Strauss Square, but many of the displays are inside tented areas.

We recommend keeping an outdoor layer with you so you can stay warm during the entire experience!

There will be a small, self-serve coat rack at the beginning of the experience. Large bags and/or backpacks are not allowed inside the experience — we recommend leaving items like these at home.  

You can bring in a water bottle.

Any other outside food and drink will not be permitted.

Pets are not allowed inside Camp Christmas. Per Texas law, service animals (dogs) individually trained to perform a task for the benefit of an individual with a disability are allowed inside.

Stroller parking is available. While the entire experience is wheelchair and stroller accessible, we encourage you to leave your stroller in the stroller parking area to avoid over crowding and for a better experience for you and your fellow Campers.

All ages are welcome! Though children 2 and under receive free admission, everyone must have a ticket.

Come as you are! There is no dress code at Camp Christmas. But because a portion of the experience takes place outdoors, we do recommend bringing your winter layers with you!

Camp Christmas is not a play and it is not religious. It is a wholly unique and completely secular immersive artistic experience.

Camp Christmas is intended to celebrate the ways we celebrate. It does not have nativity scenes, angels or other religious iconography. It does include trees, ornaments, animals and tons of other adornments, lights, and over-the-top festive elements.

• Camp Christmas and Strauss Square are wheelchair accessible.

• There will be holiday music playing but there are no audio cues that are necessary to understand the experience.
• For those seeking a more relaxed experience geared towards neurodiverse individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, sensory-friendly time slots are available on December 6th  and 14th.
