Global Winter Wonderland combines holiday lights, carnival rides and circus thrills

Global Winter WonderlandEveryone knows the White House is in Washington, D.C., Big Ben is in London and the Eiffel Tower is in Paris. But at Global Winter Wonderland, these and other landmarks from around the world have been erected in luminous holiday splendor across the street from Turner Field.

And it’s not just illuminated versions of Mount Rushmore, Chichen Itza and the Leaning Tower of Pisa (constructed out of teacups and plates covered in blue and white lights) you’ll find at Global Winter Wonderland. There’s also a maze surrounded by animatronic dinosaurs, an international food court, nature scenes, giant candy canes, Christmas trees, a 300-foot dragon and other spectacular sights covered in holiday lights. In addition to the light tunnels and other glowing delights, Global Winter Wonderland features carnival rides such as a Ferris wheel, the gravity-defying Starship 2000, the looping Ring of Fire and other exciting rides.

Global Winter WonderlandBest of all, Global Winter Wonderland features nightly concerts, Chinese acrobats, kung fu demonstrations and performances from the UniverSoul Circus that include tightrope walkers, clowns, gymnasts and motorcycle stunts inside a globe of death! It’s a nontraditional holiday attraction that is equal parts cultural enjoyment, Christmas light show, county fair and circus thrills. Global Winter Wonderland is open through Jan. 5, with a New Year’s Eve countdown Dec. 31 and a Latin Fiesta Jan. 1.
