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.

We love this museum. There's also an observatory...planetarium. The mineral collection is excellent as are the various dinosaurs and engineering and technology marvels.

Children’s Museum of Atlanta, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), is the only educational venue of its kind in Atlanta. Through community outreach initiatives, educational programs, and exhibits designed for children ages 0–8, the Museum strives to spark every child’s imagination, sense of discovery and learning through the power of play.
Our kids are 9, 4, and almost 1. We went to the Children's Museum expecting to spend a few hours and then switch to something else. But, when that time came, nobody wanted to leave! Our oldest child primarily stayed in the Simple Machines area - typical ball-transport-and-dump machinery, but they did a really nice job with it. Lots of pulleys, levers, wheels and gears, and a few surprising outcomes. He also enjoyed the paper airplane contest upstairs and the wide array of building materials throughout the museum. The middle child loved the climber in the center of the museum. Having one this big is definitely unique. He also spent a ton of time with the Duplos that are hidden in a corner near the front. The youngest enjoyed the baby area. It has lots of padding and lots of big toys to unbox. There's a play kitchen for kids that are a little bigger than he is. It was a great day. We'd come back!

Absolutely beautiful...built within historic walls is an outdoor oasis for kids. They had arts & crafts, a bubble table, building blocks, a maze, slides, musical instruments, an herb garden, sitting area and misters to keep cool. Such a wonderful design and our 3 year old daughter had a blast.
