Our Favorite Global Winter Wonderland Atlanta Highlights

Global Winter Wonderland Atlanta was a whirlwind adventure that brought families and friends together for a one-of-a-kind and magical experience that will surely leave an impact on their 2013 holiday season. The event was a magnificent success with over 95% positive customer satisfaction surveys! Thank you to the City of Atlanta for welcoming this event with open arms. Here is a look back at some of the highlights of Global Winter Wonderland Atlanta 2013:

• Keri Hilson’s Grand Opening Performance -  Award winning  R & B superstar Keri Hilson, a native of Decatur, Georgia, put on a crowd-pleasing performance on November 21. Keri kicked off the festival in a magnificent way!

• UniverSoul Circus –The UniverSoul Circus performances were in strong demand at Global Winter Wonderland. Crowds and capacity audiences lined up throughout the event to catch UniverSoul,
  one of the country’s top entertainment attractions. The High Wire and Motorcycle Daredevil acts left guests gasping in astonishment and wondering just how these troupes pulled their spectacular stunts off.

• Hi-RiZ Music Video shoot – Global Winter Wonderland Atlanta served as the gorgeous back drop for two holiday music videos, “Very Merry Christmas” and “I Love Christmas” for the up and coming girl group Hi-RiZ, who also performed at Global Winter Wonderland.  The “Very Merry Christmas” video was even featured on BET’s “106 & Park” and brought even more exposure to Global Winter Wonderland and the talented girls of Hi-RiZ.

• Carnival Rides – With over 20 carnival rides at the event, there was something for everyone! Rides were included in the price of admission, so there was no limit to how many times guests could ride the Family and Thrill rides. The Expo Wheel provided a full view of the festival from above, which is probably why it was a crowd favorite!

• The Lanterns – Of course our “main attraction” had crowds oohing and aahing every day at these magnificent replicas of celebrated landmarks from around the world, including the Eiffel Tower, Mt. Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, the Taj Majal and many more. 

• Best Atlanta Event EVER! – We got so much overwhelming positive feedback from our guests! Some of the greatest compliments Global Winter Wonderland Atlanta received were from Paul Milliken, the Emmy Award winning meteorologist at Atlanta’s Fox5 TV station. Among a series of tweets from his visit to the event, he noted that he had “never seen anything like this” and also told us that Global Winter Wonderland Atlanta was “the best holiday event ever in Atlanta!”

Thank You Atlanta!

The goal of Global Winter Wonderland was to have something for everyone young and old, and our guests’ glowing testimonials show that the event met this goal! Tiffany Davis wrote: “My family and I loved everything about this place! My 7 year old son does not comment much on places we go or things we do, but as soon as we arrived to Global Winter Wonderland, my son said “Whoa, what is this place?!” There was plenty to see, do, and eat!” Angela Gary with Main Street Newspaper also reported “In one evening, we were able to see the larger-than-life lantern designs of landmarks from countries all over the globe. It’s a great place to get some wonderful holiday photos.” Global Winter Wonderland guest Diane Nasalga commented on one of our social media channels that Global Winter Wonderland is “like a small-scale Epcot.” What a great compliment!
