Those of us who moved to Georgia to escape snowy winters might not be as ecstatic as others, but even if you hate winter you’re going to love the latest winter forecast for Lanier Islands: SnowWorld!

As the summer season came to a close at the resort’s LanierWorld waterpark, word began spreading that a dramatic transformation was about to take place on the shores of Lake Lanier.

Lanier Islands will now be a year-round destination for travelers and local families alike with a touch of the Great White North in the Deep South they’re calling SnowWorld.

SnowWorld is all about the SNOW!

“SnowWorld is a completely new all-day offering that has been several years in the making and we are really excited about its launch,” explains Chairman of the Board for Lanier Islands, Virgil Williams. “For the first few weeks, it will coincide with Lanier Islands Christmas – a new interpretation of our famous Magical Nights of Lights. Those two events combined make the resort THE ideal holiday-themed get-away for families – and I haven’t even mentioned special dining events and accommodation packages at the Lodge! Once the holidays have come to an end, SnowWorld will remain in full swing on weekends until the beginning of March as we strive to offer something truly unique for families all four seasons of the year.”

Held in conjunction with Lanier Islands Christmas — featuring a newly re-imagined holiday light show — SnowWorld will comprise five thrilling speed slides featuring slick “icy” surfaces in place of water, a snowy 13-lane tube slide, four snow play zones, ice skating at the Polar rink, a number of family-friendly eateries, and firepits for roasting marshmallows that will be open during the day and into the evening on select dates.

Once the sun goes down, the lights go up for a blended car ride and strolling illumination experience that winds through the resort and into SnowWorld.

In addition to dozens of animated holiday-themed light displays, the Lanier Islands Christmas will include the SnowWorld Village with holiday shopping, carnival rides and games, visits with Santa, and so much more.

The excitement is expected to really snowball when the NEW Lanier Islands Christmas opens nightly November 21 through December 31, 2014.

SnowWorld will also be open on select days all the way through March 1, 2015.
