Wintertime in Atlanta is magical because the city glistens with wintry delight and holiday cheer. From the city’s twinkling canopy of lights to unique holiday events and fantastic shows, winter activities in Atlanta have something special in-store everywhere you turn.
These Sensational Winter Activities in Atlanta Will Be Unforgettable
The Rink at Park Tavern | November 26, 2020 – February 15, 2021
Just because it doesn’t snow in Atlanta often does not mean the city doesn’t love ice skating. The Rink at Park Tavern is one of our favorite ice skating rinks because it is located on the edge of Piedmont Park, in the heart of Midtown, and offers impressive views of the Atlanta Skyline. Plus, you’ll have a great time on and off the ice. The 85 by 40-foot rink can accommodate up to 100 skaters safely, so you can take a few laps or try a few tricks at your leisure. When you’re ready for a break, take a seat in a private cabana, and warm up with a cup of hot cocoa by the fire.
Pro tip: If you don’t own ice skates, there’s no need to worry. The Rink at Park Tavern has rental skates available in a variety of sizes.
Garden Lights at the Atlanta Botanical Garden | November 14, 2020 – January 16, 2021
The Atlanta Botanical Garden’s fabulous holiday spectacle, Garden Lights, is like a secret winter wonderland in the city. The spectacular holiday light exhibit boasts a stunning collection of glowing garden sculptures and millions of sparkling lights. This year’s exhibition features larger-than-life sculptures of the Alice in Wonderland characters, and of course, the Botanical Garden’s beloved Ice Goddess.
A Christmas Carol: The Live Radio Play | December 11, 2020 – December 23, 2020

Atlanta Christkindl Market | Postponed Until 2021
Holiday cheer comes alive at the Atlanta Christkindl Market every holiday season.
