Christmas in Candyland

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!  This event is held every weekend in December in Andalusia, Alabama.   

​Christmas in Candyland Attractions

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/hr.  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.  you can check our interactive map for parking ideas.  Parking anywhere along E. Three Notch Street between the square and Springdale makes for an easy stroll between the two venues.  

We hope to see you this December!
