The decorations, lights and activities start before you ever enter the ballpark. There is a 65-foot tall Christmas tree outside along with Texas' largest outdoor ice skating rink, measuring 10,000 square feet.

"You can't go small in Texas," said Luminova Producer Dixie Baker. The skating rink isn't the only Texas-sized feature. You'll also find larger-than-life light displays, a glowing hopscotch game and festive selfie stations. In total, there is 270,000 square feet of holiday spirit.

Organizers are taking precautions to protect guests and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Attendees must wear a mask and social distance. There are also sanitizing stations throughout the exhibit. "We want people to be able to get out of their house and out of their cars safely, and enjoy this time of year that we all love so much," Baker said.

Luminova is open to the general public Dec. 13-Jan. 3, 2021. Tickets are $30 for teenagers and adults and $20 for children 4-12 years old. Click here for more information.
