Candyland on the Square Attractions

Your winter wonderland adventure is waiting for you! Make lasting holiday memories, create beautiful photo opportunities and watch children's imaginations grow. The best part - there is no admission charge at Christmas in Candyland!  

​Christmas in Candyland Attractions
Located at Andalusia Court Square in front of the Covington County Court House

Admission: FREE

• Candyland Cottage Village -  child-sized, imaginative play cottages built especially for the children and include themes such as a bank, an engineering office, an airplane, a church, restaurants and more!  Check the schedule for open play times.
  
• Snow Show – The Snow Show lasts about 30 minutes and is a snow experience the kids will not soon forget.  Snow machines blast out authentic looking snowflakes, filling the square and giving the illusion of a blizzard.  This "Snow" is guaranteed to fall every day that the event is open, even in our South Alabama climate!

Springdale on Ice Attractions
Springdale is located at 505 East Three Notch Street in Andalusia (about ½ mile East from Court Square). 

Admission: FREE

• Winter Skating Experience* – Skates are available in a variety of sizes ranging from a 9T to an adult 13.  Skating tickets are sold First Come - First Served, and only a limited number are sold for each time slot each day.  Make sure to stop by the ticket booth first and get your skating tickets. Since Christmas in Candyland is located in South Alabama, the winter skating experience is not real ice but synthetic ice! Please bring TALL SOCKS if you plan to skate. Skate rentals are $5.  

• Train Rides – enjoy a trip around a festive trail and through a tunnel on a beautiful replica of a classic steam locomotive.  Complete with an Engine, 4 wagons and an ADA accessible caboose, the train holds 25-30 passengers each trip - one family per train car.  Train rides are free.  
  
• Candyland Cottages – Find another entire village of imaginative playhouses at Springdale including a Train Depot, Doc McStuffin’s House, a Gingerbread House, and a Grocery Store to name a few. 
  
• Snow Tubing Hill* – The Polar Bear Tubing Hill boasts two 150 ft. lanes for racing snow tubes.  Children will need to be able to drag the tube up a hill and be willing to ride alone.  No double riding. Snow tubes are $1 per slide.

• Arctic Trek, Polar Bear Maze* - Follow the journey of a lost polar bear cub through a large inflatable maze.  Maze runs are free! 

What should I wear? Although most of our attractions include the words snow and ice, you should really only dress according to the weather outside that day.  If you plan to skate, please wear TALL SOCKS.  

What does it cost?  There are no admission charges to any Candyland venue.  Skate rentals are $5/30 min.  Snow tubing rentals are $1/slide. Train rides, maze runs, cottage play and all snow shows and other events are completely free.  

Where can I park? There a few larger parking lots around downtown and several street-side parking spaces.  Parking anywhere along E. Three Notch Street between the square and Springdale makes for an easy stroll between the two venues.  

Can I bring my pets? Although Christmas in Candyland is an outdoor event, absolutely no pets are allowed on the premise. Service animals are allowed, but must be able to provide proper documentation. Any pets seen will be asked to leave. 

We hope to see you this December!
