The Trains at NorthPark Are Back on Track for the 2023 Holiday Season in Dallas
All Aboard For the Beloved Annual Tradition
By Caitlin Clark //
Even for non-railway buffs, the 2023 Trains at NorthPark is a fantastical sight to see. For more than 35 years, the largest miniature train exhibit in Texas has enchanted Dallas shoppers with 1,600 feet of track guiding its charming railcars from San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge to the Grand Canyon to Times Square in New York City. The whimsical journey features familiar local landmarks as well, including The Perot Museum, the Nasher Sculpture Center, and Fair Park.
Of course, there’s more than meets the eye at this festive, family-friendly attraction. Each year, hundreds of customized railcars, engines, and cabooses hit the tracks in support of The Ronald McDonald House of Dallas, a regional branch of the American nonprofit whose mission is to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. Since launching in 1987, the Trains at NorthPark have raised more than $18 million for RMHD.
