Buford’s License to Chill Snow Island is now open and offering family-friendly outdoor activities. Located at Margaritaville at Lanier Islands, Buford’s local lake is transformed into a winter wonderland every November.
Featuring snow tubing, ice skating, amusement rides and more, 2023′s License to Chill Snow Island has a lot to offer.
“Blizzard Mountain is one of North America’s longest snow rides,” according to the event’s website. “Get outdoors and active with adrenaline boosting tubing on the 575-foot-long, eight-story snow slide.”
Children can also challenge their friends at Snowball Alley or head to Frosty’s Ice Rink for some skating. The Snow Island carnival area features bumper cars, a carousel, Ferris wheel and more. When families need a break from the fun, the Glacier Cafe is available for a quick bite to eat.
“Glacier Cafe is a great spot to warm up and grab a quick bite with menu items like cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, and healthy combos for lunch and dinner,” according to the event’s website. “Enjoy hot cocoa, signature cocktails, or your favorite brews while you sit and enjoy the spectacular view from the patio.”
