Stone Mountain Christmas

Just wondering if it is worth the money for a 2 year old?  I know she will enjoy all the lights, but is there anything else age appropriate to do?

    I'm really curious about this as well, as I have heard very mixed reviews and have never been myself.

    When I posted question the impression I got was not worth the $$.  So we won't be doing it.

    We went last year when Doodle was 2.  I'm THINKING about going again, but probably won't go...to much to do and it wasn't THAT great for the money.  With that said, one of my girlfriends took their 10 month old DD there this past weekend and they had a good time.  However, she said "It's likely a once in a lifetime experience for us"  meaning she wouldn't go back again because of the cost. I think it's like $28 per person and that doesn't include parking and that doesn't include anything to eat/drink...like $3 or$4 hot choc.  I think you can get coupons at Kroger though.  We MAY do Snow Mountain...not sure...it's the same amount.

    Good to know.  The cost is exactly why I'm thinking it's not worth it. I just cannot justify $60 for Christmas lights.  That being said, is there anywhere else that is cheaper to go and enjoy Christmas lights?  I know Lake Lanier, but I think they are pretty pricey as well. Thanks!

    I think Lake Lanier is also $60 per car which is insane to me...but I know its a good display.  That being said, I think we will go to Life University for the low price of $5 per car.

    WTF?!??! Lake Lanier is $60 bucks per car??? Last year it was like $30 (which was a lot if you ask me).  Maybe we won't be doing either this year.  good grief!

    It's $33 during the week and $53 on weekends if you buy tickets online.  Otherwise it's $40 and $60 per car.

    Has anyone been to Pettit Creek Farm's light display? I was just reading on their website they do hayrides for $10, or ask for a $9 donation per car if you drive through. They also have the animals out for the petting zoo.  This is starting to sound like it's our only option.

    Can you walk through at Life Univ. or is it drive through only? I just don't think DD will see much driving through.
