Experience

Winter WonderLights

The winter light show, presented by the UGA Office of the President, follows a half-mile fully accessible trail through a Winter Wondercave, along Jingle Bell Lane, into the Northern Lights and through a Cone Tree Forest, among other dazzling features.

Along the way, visitors can roast marshmallows for s’mores over an open fire and enjoy rich hot chocolate or other refreshments.

Winter WonderLights was recently named the best local event in Athens for the fourth year in the Athens Banner-Herald’s Community’s Choice Awards.
