LanierWorld at Lanier Islands

Tons of Summer Fun!

By Lynne Westbrook, Publisher Macaroni Kid Blue Ridge June 27, 2017

Where else but LanierWorld can you go to the beach, waterslide, "snow day" with foam, jump in the lake, play in the ocean tide pool, zipline over the lake, and enjoy a movie?  All this and right in North Georgia!   Whether you prefer to vacation out of town or staycation- this is a great day at the "beach" - while being relatively close to home.

Lake Lanier Islands Beach and Waterpark, is located in Buford, Georgia and is open for the summer and great for either a day of action, relaxation, or both!  All of the events are included in your admission price (except zipline which can be added on), so you and your family can spend a day of beachside family fun in the sun.

Kids can play in the fun zone and get dunked!

My girls loved Bucky's Foam Parties (every few hours near the Wild Waves).  They can soak themselves in suds before they hop into the "ocean" waves.  After a few minutes of foam momentum it looked like snow in July!

Another favorite (that is my daughter on top) was the Big Beach Aquatic Adventure.  Swim out to the floating adventure course where you can climb, slide, swim, and jump your way through aquatic obstacles. This one was frequented a few times by my kids!

If you are hoping for a slower speed, sit back and relax on the beach recliners while you watch the big screen. It is 5 stories high and has videos, music, and movie clips throughout the day.  On scheduled days there are also full movies to enjoy on the beach.


Plan for a whole day so you can enjoy all LanierWorld has to offer. Tickets for LanierWorld can be purchased on-line or at the gate.  Summer passes are also available for purchase. Daily passes for adults are $41.99 and kids/seniors are $30.99.  Weekday beach-only passes are available for as low as $10.

Also, don't forget Independence Day planning for their July 4th Celebration from Saturday, July 1st to Tuesday, July 4th (for four nights of fireworks and special programming).  All military and first responders get FREE admission!
