Galleria Dallas has become a go-to place for DFW families, offering free performances and a fun indoor play place year-round. This winter and spring, the popular PALS Showtime series returns, joined by a special Valentine’s storytime.
Showtime Saturday at Galleria Dallas provides a variety of captivating shows by professional circus clowns, magicians and kid-friendly comedians. Every Saturday, children and families are welcome to enjoy this free, in-person entertainment series.
Galleria Dallas doesn’t just reserve the fun for Saturdays; children can enjoy unique experiences throughout the week with the free PALS – Play Art Learn Seek – program. The new mission for January-March is “Under the Sea!” The ocean-themed activity aims to help kids ages 3-12 discover fun art, learn new things, and seek adventures. Participants get a passport, which allows them to collect stamps to redeem a prize once they have accomplished the mission. Kids who complete their PALS passport will receive a free box of Girl Scout cookies!
On the first Thursday of the month, children are invited to step into the spotlight with PALS Showtime. These interactive events offer opportunities for kids to dance, sing, learn and play. In addition, there will be a storytime with award-winning author Nancy Churnin. Churnin will read from her popular children’s books that intertwine historical fiction with captivating illustrations.
