We stopped in while going to a car show downtown. A nice little set-up but the prices are very high. We skipped buying anything which is too bad, but paying too much for the simplest items would not have set well.
2. Atlanta Botanical Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 133 reviews
The first 5 acres phase of our garden opened May 2, 2015. Located on 168 acres of land donated by Charles and Lessie Smithgall, the Garden is destined to be one of the largest and most diverse woodland gardens in the country. Ground was broken in April 2013 on the first 5 acre phase. The Gainesville location is a new destination for connecting with beauty and the natural world. Complete with a visitor center, outdoor gardens, a model train garden and an amphitheater, it will also be a cultural center for the community hosting exciting exhibitions, events, and educational programs. The nationally recognized collections will expand the horticultural palette of Atlanta Botanical Garden. The Garden has already developed a sophisticated horticultural operation and the largest conservation nursery in the Southeast on the property. Endangered plants will be propagated on the site for the conservation program.

Opened just 2½ years ago (May of 2015), this campus in Gainesville of the Atlanta Botanical Garden is a treat. The grounds are immaculate with nice wide sidewalks and the majority of plants are nicely identified. The admission is only $8 for adults and $5 for children aged 3-12. If you're a member of the Atlanta Botanical Garden (in Atlanta), you're a garden member and there's no entrance fee. Closed on Mondays. The hours of the garden differ depending on the time of year: April - October, 9-6, November - March, 10-4. We went on a day when they held their fall plant sale and there were trees, plants, and container-style plants that you don't often find at local nurseries ... and reasonably priced. We enjoyed a very casual and peaceful walk. Looking forward to returning in the spring.
3. Chateau Elan Winery

The marc is a new restaurant at the Chateau Elan winery in a renovated part of the tasting room. We stopped at the winery on our arrival at the Chateau and requested a "free" sample of a couple of wines we thought interseting. The attendant offered each of us, 4 people, a sample and said they were serving them in marc, the wines were good so we went to dinner. The restaurant features farm to table with a limited menu, not a problem. The chicken and pork were more than we could ask for and the sides were served family style. We went back 2 days later.
4. Little Mulberry Park

This park has amazing trails for all levels of hikers and walkers. The paths are through forests, through meadows, around lakes and mixtures of all three. You can choose paved or unpaved, and sunny or shaded. There's also an equestrian trail for those who enjoy trail horseback riding. There are several docks for fishing, pavilions for gathering, and playgrounds for playing as well as animals for wildlife viewers. I have seen all types of birds and water fowl, turtles, frogs, deer, snakes, and squirrels. Most of the animals (except the squirrels) keep their distance, but they'll be close enough that you get to enjoy seeing them.

Several couples dined here recently. We ordered hot sandwiches and salads, after 7 PM. The meals were nicely prepared. Several of us had sweet potato fries as a side order and the salads some in our party had were fresh, large and tasty.
We dined in a room that overlooks a putting green and there are flat screen TV's on the walls. A nice, informal meal with very good service. The entry way to the dining area has some golf memorabilia and appeals to golfers.

Lanier Boat Charter is a high end boat rental and charter business north of Atlanta on Lake Lanier. We provide our guests with brand new Harris Tritoons and Yamaha jetskis as well as vintage houseboats and non-powered vessels for a memorable day on the lake. We have the best product and service on the lake at the right price point.

Very professional outfit! Justin is very knowledgeable and makes the renting process fun and efficient. We had 6 adults and 5 kids ages 6-8. The boats are high quality and the 150 horsepower engines are really a plus. Only mishap was we left the dock with less than a half tank. Called the owner, and he apologized. Came back to fill up (our cost) and ate lunch (ate at Fish Tales which was superb, btw -get the fried green tomato sandwich). They made adjustments on fuel upon returning the boat to "kinda" make it right, other than the fuel issue, I would have given 5 stars. Would definitely rent from them again!

We attended our third Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta this year which celebrated its 20th anniversary. Always a great experience in which you can walk the paddocks, capture a picture shaking hands with a driver, get up close to the cars on the starting grid and experience the myriad activities of an international motor sports event in Atlanta's backyard.
There were some changes this year. The Fan Zone was expanded to offer more vendors and activities. And, the Fan Zone had been paved making it more enjoyable especially with the rain that morning. One downside was that the new owner of Road Atlanta did not allow fans onto the pits prior to the race. We really missed that!
Still, Road Atlanta is an ideal venue for this captivating race.

We (myself and 4 other girlfriends) had a great experience renting a pontoon from Fish Tales. Maddie was wonderful in going over the paperwork and then the operation of the boat. We rented midweek and we practically had the lake to ourselves. The pontoon was in like new condition (with the exception of a broken ladder...not their fault). We will be renting again from there next year! Highly recommended!
