It’s summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime at Lanier Islands! That means it’s party time at LanierWorld.
The Fourth of July will be here before you know it. The Islands will explode with fun during a four-day celebration.
Come see the rocket version of fun-in-the-sun at its LanierWorld beach, boardwalk and waterpark entertainment zone, as well as live concerts, patriotic food and drink specials, and – of course – fireworks.
“We invite our fans of all ages to come celebrate this great nation’s birthday with us,” said Bucky Perry, Lanier Islands’ Director of Operations.
“For those who have never experienced the Islands and LanierWorld before, it’s the perfect weekend to come and see what we’re all about. Guests can ride the water slides, dip their toes in the lake, build a sandcastle while soaking up some sun on our pristine beach and catch a pick-up game of volleyball at Sunset Cove. We’ll have live entertainment on our outdoor stages all weekend long, as well as regular appearances from our mascot – Bucky the Beaver. Everyone will want to put a ride down our new slide – CAT4 – on their to do list, as well as a trip across our newly expanded Wibit aquatic obstacle course. Not to mention, we’ll be setting off fireworks over the water three out of the four nights.”
Have you heard the amazing news from Lanier Islands about free admission for active duty military personnel and law enforcement officers?
Starting July 1, 2015, Lanier Islands will give free them free admission to LanierWorld for the remainder of the Summer 2015 season. That’s one of the best ways to say, “Thanks for your service!”
