Ready to ring in the new year with your kids? Noon Year’s Eve celebrations are kid-friendly New Year’s events held on December 31. They typically feature a countdown to noon for the little ones with earlier bedtimes, so they don’t miss out on any of the celebrations.

Stone Mountain Park Kids’ Early New Year’s Eve Celebration
Because kids are just as excited to ring in the New Year as their parents—but need to be in bed before midnight—Stone Mountain Park is set to host an early New Year’s Eve Celebration.
During Stone Mountain Christmas on Dec. 31, Stone Mountain Park will operate the Christmas event as usual, including the Magical Christmas Drone & Light Show, and then we’ll ring in the New Year early with a magical snowfall and early countdown. When the clock strikes 9 PM, enjoy fireworks to usher in the New Year (early)!
Kids’ Early New Year’s Eve is available during Stone Mountain Christmas and is included with a daily Christmas Attractions Ticket or annual Mountain Membership. Please check the calendar for hours of operation prior to your visit.
Noon Year’s Eve Celebration at Lego Discovery Center
Ring in the New Year before the clock strikes midnight at our annual Noon Year’s Eve Celebration.
Be sure to arrive before noon to celebrate with a LEGO Ball Drop at 12 pm! Grab a complimentary party favor (while supplies last) and help bring in the new year with a sparkling apple cider toast.
The event is included with general admission.
