Only Two Weekends Remain to Experience Winter Adventure at Lanier Islands Before the Season Ends

BUFORD, Ga. - Feb. 1, 2016 - PRLog -- Although parts of Metro Atlanta experienced a bit of a “winter adventure” of its own recently, the somewhat conservative snowfall didn’t exactly lend itself to a flurry of fun snow day activities such as sledding or building a snowman. Fortunately for kids of all ages who were no doubt disappointed by the shortage of frozen precipitation in Atlanta, there are still a couple of weekends remaining to enjoy Winter Adventure at Lanier Islands before the last day of the season on Monday, February 15.

The fun factor at Winter Adventure is set to high gear from start to finish thanks to speed slides with ‘crash bag’ landings and a series of snow play zones that abound throughout the attraction. For added excitement, triple zip lines present daring riders with an opportunity to race their friends high above the beach and out over the lake, and the all new Bubble Skating Rink is a fresh twist on an old classic with lots of slippery, slick, spectacular and sudsy delight.

Two other exciting new amenities mark permanent additions to the LanierWorld landscape: The Spectacular Screen – which marks 46’x 80’ of high definition digital awesomeness for the endless entertainment of resort guests, and Knockerball – where guests are not only invited to play ball, but will also have the rare opportunity to BE the ball. The Islands now boasts 16 of these spheres, ready to fill the beach with exciting play this winter – and later on when LanierWorld opens for the spring and summer season. Guests of all ages will squeal with laughter as they roll, flip and bounce their way to exhilarating fun.

To purchase tickets to Winter Adventure online, guests are encouraged to visit www.lanierislands.com. Active and veteran members of the U.S. military, law enforcement officers and fire fighters will be admitted to Winter Adventure free of charge, by presenting a valid ID at the gate. After Winter Adventure closes on February 15, Lanier Islands will begin prepping LanierWorld for the upcoming spring and summer season – which initially kicks off on weekends beginning Saturday, May 14, 2016.
