Things to do in Georgia, Georgia: The Best Visitor Centers
While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

No doubt this small town is off the beaten path, but take the time and go search it out! Definitely worth the drive! The visitor center is located here at the museum and the staff were phenomenal!

We have been to this place twice - both the times to attend the circus event and we are hugely impressed by the building and facilities at Dalton Convention center. It has ample parking and considering the Dalton city size, I must say that it's very impressive.

Sapelo Island is truly a one of a kind place and the Visitor's Center put one in the frame of mind to truly enjoy the island if you are fortunate enough to visit it or simply learn about the island's history which is amazing. We Airbnb'd on the Island and used the Visitor's Center to familiarize ourselves with the history of the island and what to expect. Two books will take you back in time to the Island's unique history: "Goin' D'Iland" by Mike Sellers and "God, Dr. Buzzard & the Bolito Man" by Cornelia Walker Bailey are must reads and both available at the Visitor's Center. If you're fortunate enough to go to the Island don't pass up the chance and be prepared to immerse yourself in a time long past.

Excellent first stop on our recent visit to Savannah. Lots of helpful maps and people, a small gift shop and clean restrooms. Convenient parking lot and also near a parking garage if you want to park under cover - also a stop for the CAT free trolley is nearby as well as some other, paid, trolley tours of Savannah. There is a small snack stand also in the building. The building itself is worth a look, beautiful and impressive inside and out!

The Athens Welcome Center is a wonderful place to start your exploration of Athens. It is housed in a lovely old home (with a great back porch and rocking chairs), the Church-Waddel-Brumby house circa 1820. We toured the home and learned of its history as well as that of the University and Athens before boarding the bus for the Heritage Tour of the community. The guide was excellent, but I think I need to go again the next time I am in Athens because she imparted so much information in one afternoon that I cannot remember all of it!
