Pinball machines were all the rage? Well I don’t but I do remember pac man and frogger! What an incredible palace to take the family to. This large building is filled with pinball machines, video games, foosball and jump castles! They even have beer and wine (but is strictly monitored). And the jump castles are for all except when little ones are going in. I wish this place was around a few years ago. I would’ve let my kids play for hours!! Young and old and everyone in between seems to enjoy being here. Great wholesome fun. The best part was no one was on their phones!

5. Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 606 reviews
This beautiful plantation represents the history and culture of Georgia’s rice coast. In the early 1800s, William Brailsford of Charleston carved a rice plantation from marshes along the Altamaha River. The plantation and its inhabitants were part of the genteel low country society that developed during the antebellum period. While many factors made rice cultivation increasingly difficult in the years after the Civil War, the family continued to grow rice until 1913.The enterprising siblings of the fifth generation at Hofwyl-Broadfield resolved to start a dairy rather than sell their family home. The efforts of Gratz, Miriam and Ophelia Dent led to the preservation of their family legacy. Ophelia was the last heir to the rich traditions of her ancestors, and she left the plantation to the state of Georgia in 1973.A museum features silver from the family collection and a model of Hofwyl-Broadfield during its heyday. A brief film on the plantation’s history is shown before visitors walk a short trail to the antebellum home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the home as Ophelia kept it with family heirlooms, 18th and 19th century furniture and Cantonese china. A stop on the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, this is an excellent spot to look for herons, egrets, ibis and painted buntings. A nature trail that leads back to the Visitors Center along the edge of the marsh where rice once flourished.

A very unassuming place when you drive in, but the tour of the house--which is all original--was really great. There's so much history in each room of the house, and our tour guide did a fantastic job answering everyone's questions and providing all of the context for what we were seeing.
6. Blythe Island Regional Park

Beautiful, picturesque regional campground. It's quite obvious the local citizens and government take great pride in "their" park. This is a local very quiet campground that is filled with fisherman with boats. The $44 a night included full hook up, 30/50 amp with cable. The sites were spacious, shady, private, and had more than enough room for everyone and all their water toys. The marina and bait shop, complete with lift and ramp, is the definite main attraction here. Many campers were busy fishing and crabbing from the docks and obviously truly enjoying the best that Georgia has to offer. In addition to the tidal waters, there is also a freshwater lake that includes a swimming beach which is probably jammed packed with locals in the summer. The only drawback would be the ever present Georgia Gnats and the occasional whiff of the Brunswick Paper Plant but both weren't enough of a deterrent to keep us from visiting again.

We arrived and there were only a few people playing in a tournament toward the end. At our end, there was no one. They soon left and we had the place all to ourselves. They played nice music. It was pretty and bright inside. The bathrooms were clean. They had updated screens that was very fun to keep score. They offered drinks at their little bar. They had food but I did not like the taste of it. It tasted like gas fumes to me... but besides the food, everything else was absolutely perfect! The young lady pictured below, she was so friendly and professional. She made us feel at home there and because of that, it set the tone for our afternoon. We had a blast, so I will be back!!!!

After being cooped up for three months, we were ready to get out of Dodge. We decided on St. Simon's Island because it is a comfortable three-hour drive from Hilton Head Island and because of the many historic sightseeing opportunities. Our first stop was the Golden Isles Welcome Center. I had researched the top attractions on the island; the center was a wonderful resource for brochures and maps on the top attractions we wanted to see. Laurie spent time with us answering questions and suggesting additional places for us to visit. The center has a nice gift shop with souvenirs and books about the area. We are especially interested in Eugenia Price, a St. Simon's historical novelist; her books are available at the center. One of the many attractions we were interested in were the "Tree Spirits," seven faces/images carved into trees. It is a scavenger hunt of sorts; clues lead you to find them on the island. The very first tree spirit is clearly marked in the welcome center parking lot. It is not to be missed. She is dedicated to the loggerhead turtles. The welcome center is strategically located within easy walking distance of the famed SSI Pier, Lighthouse Museum, and public pool. Restrooms are located directly across the street in the Postell Market, home to the SSI library. We scored some free books from a cart just outside of the library.

Walked all around this park and enjoyed looking at the boats that were docked there. Loved looking at the WW11 ship and memorial.
