Lake Lanier’s Magical Nights of Lights
About an hour north of Atlanta, Lake Lanier Islands offers six and a half miles of lights and a carload price. It bills itself as the “world’s largest animated light extravaganza” and includes a live nativity scene, carnival rides, pony rides and the Santa Shop. The Holiday Village includes a bonfire for roasting marshmallows.
The price is $40 per car Friday through Sunday and holidays, $30 Monday through Thursday. Discount tickets are available at Publix and McDonalds (good for $5 off) or make your reservations on-line at www.lakelanierislands.com for the same discount. Lake Lanier Islands Resort has partnered with Toys for Tots, so bring an unwrapped toy for a $5 discount. (Only one discount per car.) You might also check out Breakfast with Santa or the Magical Nights of Lights dinner buffet at the Legacy Lodge’s Windows Restaurant.
