“Santa has a challenging job climbing down millions of chimneys Christmas Eve, so he practices to be ready for it,” said Matt Popowski, PR and Events Coordinator, Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park.
To maintain Chimney Rock as one of the Southeast’s premier outdoor destinations, the park will undergo construction to improve access by upgrading one of its upper trails called the Outcroppings. The Park will remain open to visitors during the winter improvements and its lower trails and many points of interest will be open including the 404-foot-tall Hickory Nut Falls and its trail, Cliff Dwellers Gift Shop and the Meadows area, the Great Woodland Adventure and Four Seasons trails, Grady’s Animal Discovery Den, Classroom on the Meadows and the covered picnic pavilion. A new elevator, renovated Sky Lounge Gift Shop & Deli and the Chimney are scheduled to reopen in spring 2012. Winter admission is $9 for adults and $4 for age 6-15 and free for kids under 6. Winter hours: Thursday-Monday, 10am-6pm with the Ticket Plaza closing at 4:30pm.
Adult Annual Passes, a great stocking stuffer for family and friends, are available for $20 through December 24. Guests who visit the park during discounted winter admission rates can also save money by upgrading their admission tickets to Annual Passes for only $11 for adults and $4 for age 6-15 within 30 days of purchasing admission.
