The three story shopping mecca known as the Galleria just north of 635 is one of my favorite places to visit during the holiday season. Not only can you shop til you drop, but the Galleria has so many fun events that are offered that you can make a day trip out of it. You can bring your whole family and no matter their age, there is something for everyone.
Here is a list of all the fun activities that Galleria Dallas has going on this holiday season.
