Are We There Yet?
Just a short drive over to Gadsden, Ala. will take you to a place sure to get you and your family in the Christmas spirit: Christmas at the Falls. Each year Noccalula Falls Park welcomes visitors to experience the lights and sounds of the season from Thanksgiving night November 23 through Saturday December 30 (Closed Dec. 24-25). Enjoy riding the train or strolling through the park to view more than a million lights. Stop by the petting zoo, visit with Santa and take pictures, decorate cookies, and sip hot chocolate. For children too shy to speak their wishes to Santa or who just want to be sure he has their list right, the Park’s Old Post Office in the Pioneer Village has a special mailbox for dropping off letters to Santa. Purchase tickets to Christmas at the Falls on-line at www.noccalulafallspark.com or at the Entry Pavilion as early as 4pm each afternoon. The park is open from 5 until 9p.m. each evening. Admission is $6 for ages 4 and up and children three and under are admitted free. For more details call the park at 256-549-4663. †
