Reviewed By AJG35 - Cairns, Australia
It was a cold day and we decided to visit this park. Go figure. We were astounded by the range of facilities and activities offered at this park. We took a long walk which took in the playground, baseball fields, the equestrian centre and the historic house (which was closed). Great walk on a cold day.
2. Gwinnett Center

Reviewed By sclawyer - South Carolina
I attended for a gymnastics meet. The facility is nice enough, but the layout is confusing. All drives close to the entrance were blocked off, so there is no convenient way to drop off passengers (or pick them up) close to the building or out of the weather. Lots of convenient bathrooms; one elevator for the whole facility, so more walking. No concessions offered for my event, so I don't have a handle on that.
3. Big Creek Greenway

We live close by and take daily walks on the Big Creek Greenway. There are public restrooms, water fountains, and a small shelter at the entrance off of Bethelview Road. The trail is mildly strenuous except for the sawtooth pass section. It's closed after heavy rain.

Newtown Park has so much to offer: safe walking trails, amphitheater, picnic areas, Vietnam Veterans Memorial area, area to plant a garden, active adult center, playground for children to play, dog park, areas to play tennis, movies and concerts in the summer, and what have I missed!?? Very well managed by the City of Johns Creek. Regularly monitored by JC Police Department. Clean and well maintained.

Lake with ducks and fish that the little ones can see swimming around. Even a concrete ping pong table ( bring your paddles and ping pong ball). Blacktop trails are very shaded - lots of benches to just sit and watch nature.

My family has been to at least 4 Escape rooms, and in different states. Comparing to other escape rooms, this is on the lower end of the list. The prior escape room I went to had two rooms to look for clues, which made it more challenging and we were able to use a walkie-talkie's. This place also has a 45 minute maximum in the room which under their FAQ on their website it says an hour. All the other places we have been to are an hour. I DID NOT like this at all. One of the hints wasn't helpful because we didn't have one of the items it said we should have and they put what you need on a TV screen, not talking in person. They can hear you though. Once they heard your frustration, they typed on the screen what you need to do. The music that was playing on the TV was very loud and we also had a hard time thinking. Some of the numbers were hard to read on the items (like they had been worn off a bit). With all the escape rooms popping up around the Atlanta area, I would definitely seek out others. It is easy to get to off the interstate though.
7. Southeastern Railway Museum
Overall Ratings
4 based on 115 reviews
The Southeastern Railway Museum occupies a 35-acre site in Duluth, Georgia, in northeast suburban Atlanta. In operation since 1970, the Southeastern Railway Museum features about 90 items of rolling stock including historic Pullman cars and classic steam locomotives. Museum hours vary seasonally. Ride in restored cabooses behind restored antique diesel locomotives, stand next to the massive driving wheels of the locomotive that once pulled passenger trains to Key West on the “railroad that went to sea,” tour the business car that helped bring the Olympics to Atlanta, pose in the private car once used by President Warren G. Harding, and step inside a dining car used by FDR on one of his many trips to Warm Springs, GA. The mission of the Southeastern Railway Museum is to provide an educational atmosphere that will vividly bring to life the cultural, technological and historical importance of transportation to our region.

This is a blast from the past of trains particularly from the early 1900's. You can get to see what they were like riding in coach and sleeper cars. They even had the train car that President Warren Harding traveled and eventually died in. We rode the train and caboose to see how they moved along and communicated.

We came here to hunt the geocaches in this preserve. Like others mentioned, the trails are well marked with signs and clearly defined trails. There are great informational signs telling you about some of the spectacular trees here.
My little one loved running along the trails and the boardwalk and admiring the calm creek nearby.
It was a nice way to spend part of a morning and we are glad this preserve is here!
9. Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park

Reviewed By Jennifer M
We've attended a couple of ASO concerts at the Amphitheatre. It was a pretty positive experience all the way around. Parking was easy. The amphitheatre was great--there doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. There are also lawn seats which seem nice and are available for about $20 a piece. We didn't eat or drink so I can't comment on the food. The traffic wasn't too bad getting out.
10. The Forum on Peachtree Parkway

Reviewed By bakerler - Peachtree Corners, Georgia
We are within walking distance to The Forum. This shopping center has been very popular since it was built. The Forum is like a Swiss village street. There are many shops to keep the shopper busy for several hours and a good number of restaurants offering all levels and types of food. Our favorite store is the Belk department store. We enjoy several mexican, italian, and american restaurants. Parking is right in front of the stores and there is music speakers along the walkways.
