Galleria Dallas has announced its family programming schedule for Winter-Spring 2025.
The programming will include Showtime Saturdays, a weekly entertainment series that is free to all. Throughout the series, performances will feature magicians, musicians, comedians and professional circus clowns. Showtime Saturdays will start Jan. 11 and run until March 29.
This winter, Galleria Dallas is continuing the Play Art Learn Seek (PALS) program with an “Under the Sea!” theme. Children from three to 12 are invited to complete an ocean-themed activity to collect stamps in their PALS passport, which can be redeemed for a free box of Girl Scout cookies.
PALS participants will also have the opportunity to engage in interactive events during PALS Showtime on the first Thursday of each month.
A Valentine’s Storytime will be held on Feb. 11, with author Nancy Churnin giving a reading of “Valentines for All,” her Valentine’s Day themed children’s book. All PALS activities as well as the Valentine’s Storytime are free to attend.
A spokesperson for Galleria Dallas said the children’s programming is “designed for kids of all ages.” A programming schedule courtesy of Galleria Dallas can be found below:
