Wow! The bronze sculptures, paintings and mixed media art are wonderful; however, you don’t want to miss my favorite piece-the cast paper sculpture! See if you can find it (hint-it’s on the 2nd floor)! This is truly a gem of a museum in downtown Cartersville. Such a pleasant surprise! You’ll come out with a new appreciation of the Wild West! Also, don’t miss the display honoring all of our presidents!

One teenager, 9-yr old, husband and myself. We were on a day trip at Red Top Mountain State Park and decided to stop by this site. And it was great! Rich in history and beautiful river flowing by these awesome mounds. It is worth the trip! The fee was $21 total for the 4 of us.

We were on our way to Florida and we’re going to be driving through Atlanta right at rush hour. So, we pulled off in Emerson because it was one of the last exits before Atlanta. We were hoping to find something to kill an hour or so and let the traffic die down before continuing on our way. This place was perfect! We are at St. Angelo’s pizza which is attached. A 17 inch pizza and hot pretzels was $30 which is pretty great for dinner for my family of 5. We bought each of the kids (ages 8,10,&12) a triple pass ($18 each) which let them play 3 activities. They chose the laser maze, mirror maze, and laser tag. The laser and mirror mazes were pretty small but the laser tag was lots of fun. The girl running it was great and very helpful (I wish I could remember her name...she was running it the evening of June 1st)! They have a really cool looking climbing course, but that’s not what any of my 3 chose to do. They wanted to play a few arcade games so we put $10 on a game card and they were able to play games for 20 minutes or so. Our total for dinner, activities, and arcade was around $100 and we spent about 2 hours there. When we got back on the road, rush hour was over and we got through Atlanta easily. For us, the location and timing was just perfect and we were so happy to stumble upon it!
