Stone Mountain Christmas 

Note that we are in the process of updating all of these details for 2020 — so some of the info below may change within a few days.
What IS current for 2020 is the Groupon deal listed below.

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.

Last year, the Christmas Village included these experiences. We are working on updating and verifying what you can expect in 2020.

• More than 2 million LED lights adorning the park, including a lighted tree at the mountain’s summit
• Nightly tree-lighting ceremony after dark
• NEW Christmas LaserShow
• Santa’s nightly “flight” through the sky (the sleigh is on a zip line!)
• Angelina the Snow Angel’s Christmas Parade
• Nightly “snowfall” during the parade
• Fireworks finale at 9:45 p.m.
• Musical Frosted Forest
• Live holiday shows, storytelling for the kids, and 4D theatre showings of Polar Express
• Singalong holiday train rides around the mountain
• Photo opportunities with holiday characters
• Santa’s office window visits

The all-new 2020 Snow Angel’s Christmas Parade features deluxe floats and a cast of 40 performers, including 10-foot tall candy canes, walking snow globes, Christmas trees, and more. It goes from 6:15 to 6:45 p.m. each night, ending with the tree lighting ceremony and a surprise snowfall. It is quite an extravaganza. 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!)

There is so much to do at the Christmas Village that it can seem overwhelming. To plan your visit, check the Stone Mountain calendar — it lets you know what time the Christmas attraction opens each day.  The entertainment schedule for movies and holiday shows is  available as a PDF spreadsheet. You can find it by clicking here, then scrolling way down to the entertainment schedule. The Village also features several concession stands and restaurants, and a Christmas marketplace.

You’ll need to buy an All-Attractions Pass or have a Mountain Membership to get in to Stone Mountain Christmas, which is located in the Crossroads area of the park. You could also buy a combo pass that includes Snow Mountain activities. SEE THE DISCOUNTS BELOW.

Remember, your All-Attractions Pass gets you into nearly everything (except Snow Mountain). So you can come early and enjoy the Summit Skyride, Historic Square, and other attractions — and then work your way toward the Christmas Village at dusk. You can find a complete list of attractions here.

As always, if you’re planning to go more than once (and there’s so much to do, you may want to), buy the Mountain Membership, a.k.a. the season pass. In addition to unlimited admission, Mountain Members save on tickets to Snow Mountain, get an extra discount on a parking pass, & more.

Know before you go

A note about parking: If you walk or ride a bike to Stone Mountain Park, there’s no parking fee. Otherwise, it’s $20 for daily parking.

If you have to drive and aren’t opting to pay for a Mountain Member PLUS pass, consider buying the $40 annual permit if you plan to visit multiple times. It pays for itself in two visits — and then events like the LaserShow become truly FREE.

Snow Mountain

Not yet updated for 2020

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.
