The Lakeside Lights Spectacular features a breathtaking six-mile drive-through light tour set to synchronized holiday music broadcast over your car radio, guiding vehicles through tunnels of dancing lights, aquatic sea creatures, festive nativity scenes, and giant animated light towers wrapping around the marina and shoreline. Adjacent to the light trail, the License to Chill Snow Island brings genuine winter excitement to Georgia with Blizzard Mountain—North America's longest 8-lane snow tubing hill plunging 575 feet down an 8-story snow-covered slope. Families can also glide across the open-air lakeside ice skating rink, build snowmen in the Snow Play Area, hop on family amusement carnival rides, and gather around lakeshore fire pits to toast s'mores with warm cocoa while Santa visits on select December afternoons. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Magical Nights of Lights — Lanier Islands drive-through light show, Buford](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/magical-nights-of-lights-lanier-islands-drive-through-light-show-bufor--listing-0777e8b43e8df6f2a4ab951a) — Nov 20 – Jan 3 · 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Lanier Islands Resort, Buford · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 30.
