Global Winter Wonderland

Global Winter
Wonderland, a spectacular lantern festival and multicultural theme park, will
be making its Atlanta debut this holiday season, November 21, 2013 through
January 5, 2014 at Turner Field. This holiday season, guests will be able to
travel the world in one visit while viewing the larger-than-life lantern
designs of landmarks from countries all over the globe.



 



Global Winter
Wonderland features giant illuminated lanterns depicting creatures and scenes
that include a Christmas holiday village, animals real and imagined, and people
and scenes from around the world. Highlights include recreations of some of the
world’s greatest architectural achievements, including the Taj Mahal, the
Eiffel Tower, Chichen Itza, and the Golden Gate Bridge. The eco-friendly
lanterns, some of which tower more than 50 feet high and span nearly 100 feet
wide, are illuminated with low voltage LEDs and fluorescent lights, and several
structures are powered by solar panels. The family event of the holiday season
also features numerous carnival rides and games, international cuisine, arts
and crafts, live entertainment, and celebrations of holiday traditions and
various cultures from around the world.
