The holidays come to life during Stone Mountain Christmas, which is a magical experience for kids and grownups alike.  Stone Mountain Park transforms into a winter wonderland, complete with holiday lights and snow.

Stone Mountain Christmas features a Christmas Village that is open from 2 to 9 p.m. Parts of it, like the Frosted Forest and Skylights Spectacular, are best viewed after 6 p.m. when the lights come on.

We were lucky enough to be invited to Media Night last year, and you can see some of the highlights in our video, below. (It’s also on Facebook, so please share!)

It’s being billed as immersive experience that features music, amazing special effects, video projected onto the mountain, and fireworks. lasers, snow effects and nightly fireworks!

Snow Mountain

canceled for 2022

In past years, Stone Mountain Park has hosted Georgia’s largest snow park from November to mid-February.

We don’t yet have info for 2020, but the info below is from last year.

Several feet of actual snow are sculpted into lanes on a snow-covered hill, so you can ride down the slope in a tube. There are different lanes to accommodate single riders, two riders, or giant tubes that hold your whole family.

Anyone 36 inches and taller can scream their way down the Avalanche Alley family tube ride and the new Dare Devil Plunge. Anyone 48 inches and taller can take on a single tube lane.

The Snow Zone play area, located on the laser show lawn, is open for younger kids to play in the snow. They can make the snowmen and snow angels, and experience periodic “snow fall.”

From the press release:

The all-new Dare Devil Plunge dark-tunnel ride is designed for thrill seekers. It is Snow Mountain’s tallest, fastest slope ever. You’ll launch down the hill from over three stories high, reaching speeds of up to 30 mph while you zip through a 150-foot tunnel of lights. Take the plunge with a friend in a double tube, or slide solo in a single tube on this daring new ride. Stay into the evening for Galactic Snow Tubing, an out-of-this-world nighttime experience with lasers, lights, and music.

Regular price tickets are available online. 

Snow Mountain tickets include a two-hour tubing session and all-day access to the Snow Zone play area located on the laser lawn. Galactic Snow Tubing sessions begin at 5:30 p.m. on Snow Mountain operating days. Space is limited and advanced reservations are strongly recommended.
