♦ Where to find ice skating, tubing, other winter fun in metro Atlanta
Below are the top five things you need to know to maximize holiday cheer.
- Don't have a lump-of-coal experience. Because, as magical as it is, the park is closed on Christmas and the day before. The park is open Dec. 26 through Jan. 4 from 2 to 10 p.m. The park hours vary from now until Dec. 23.
- You can't come wearing a tacky sweater only to find out it's not the right day for the Tacky Sweater Party. That'd be silly. Check out the park's events page.
- Come hungry. Unless s'mores fire pits, spiced apple cider, Christmas-inspired funnel cakes and peppermint holiday pretzels don't sound good to you.
- Not every attraction is open. Check out the attractions list, including height restrictions.
- Buy your tickets online. Oh, and, if you think this isn't going to be a one-time thing, then the purchase of a 2017 pass lets you into the park for free the rest of 2016.
- Even Santa needs a map. So plan out the ultimate route with this Holiday In The Park map.
