Adventure Center of Asheville

The Winter Wonder Walk captures the magic and wonder of the winter season like no other! Only here, can you immerse yourself in outdoor live-action theater, shop from local makers, climb a ropes course amongst thousands of glow lights, and throw snowballs at our silly Snow Sprites.

Step Inside The Book
We invite you to literally step inside the book and be transported into the magical world of Winterland. We will bring the pages to life with a live-action immersive story-walk on an outdoor trail complete with live characters, so many twinkling lights and Asheville’s largest snowball fight.

Enjoy A Warm Cozy Festival
Under the heated tent, families can meet Mrs. Claus, enjoy a holiday market, filled with locally made unique gifts, and a kids’ play area. The tent is buzzing with hot chocolate, tasty treats, and more! Outside the tent, there are cozy small bonfires for s’mores!

The Blue Ridge Parkway (part of the U.S. National Park Service) runs north and south from Asheville with plenty of spots for roadside picnics, breathtaking vistas, easy to difficult hiking trails, and a reprieve from commercialism. The 469-mile, non-stop recreational motor road follows the ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, connecting Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks.

Hidden away in the middle of downtown Asheville is a surprising man-made salt cave, a peaceful retreat for therapeutic rest and healing. Some 20 tons of natural crystal salt from Poland creates an enriched micro-climate that enhances relaxation, rehabilitation and balance. It’s the only salt therapy center in the United States made of all natural materials. The 9-foot tall cave is made of only salt, wood and water – complete with twinkling stars overhead. Salt rock crystals weighing 6 ounces to 300 pounds cover the floor, walls and ceiling. All five senses are engaged in the healing power of nature.
