When most people think about Margaritaville at Lanier Islands, images of summer fun in the sun come to mind. However, Georgia’s Margaritaville location is also an amazing place to visit around the colder months and escape to a winter wonderland!
Snow tubing is fun, family-friendly, and a great way to experience a whole other side of Margaritaville. Snow Island at Margaritaville at Lanier Islands offers snow tubing on Parrot Mountain, which is one of the longest snow rides in North America at 575 feet long. It’s also eight stories high, so be prepared to get your adrenaline pumping!
There’s also an ice skating rink that’s perfect for family nights and date nights, as well as amusement park rides like a carousel, Ferris wheel, and bumper cars. Challenge your friends to a snowball fight or make snow angels at Snowball Alley, and don’t miss Margaritaville’s Lakeside Lights Spectacular which is an exciting light show at the venue’s entertainment complex. This is a magical walk-through feature with festive seasonal music and lots of lights.
Kids love coming here in the winter because they can visit Santa and get their photos taken with Ole Saint Nick. Roast some s’mores over a fire pit and warm up with a tasty cup of hot cocoa!
Meanwhile, couples can add a little romance into their visit with a little snow tubing fun, followed by a boat ride on the lake and some seriously delicious food and drinks. Satisfy your sweet tooth with cake pops and flavored bark at the Glacier Café Bakeshop and grab a warm signature concoction at the Tipsy Snowman Bar. Santa’s Workshop is also an awesome place to shop for customized ornaments and other gifts to finish up your holiday shopping.
