35 Best Stops Between Helen and Marietta (2024)

This place was idyllic! Beautiful Mountain Views, the gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) lowing from the cattle heard in the distance, and night sky so clear you can see the Milky Way! Our kids had a spectacular time and Mr Charlie (owner) was a wonderful host! If you stay here, make sure to have some of the steaks! Melt in your mouth, flavor so great, and just about the best steak I’ve ever had! We will be back most definitely!

Great place to stay overnight. Very peaceful, secluded valley. Great hookups for RVs. Beef is pricey, but is of very high quality. Heck, you can see for yourself how the cattle are raised. Organic and humanely treated.

My grandson's 3rd birthday party was here and all the kids and adults had a wonderful time. Him and I returned now that he is 10 and there are even more things to do. This place is good for family fun, friends hanging out, dating, or just an outing alone. Plus they have adult beverages which is a plus in my book!

We had so much fun at funopolis. We played arcade games, basketball, bumper cars, connect 4, wheel of fortune, whammy, make it bounce, and we did two rounds of mini bowling. We got the $25 package and we had over three hours of fun! Well worth it can’t wait to go back in the near future. The staff was also amazing very helpful and kind.

We went to a friend’s kids birthday party and had a lot of fun. There was bowling, go carts, video games, air jockey, rock climbing and more.This place brought me back to my childhood, even the adults had fun.The prices were fair so I don’t understand the negative reviews about them. There is a happy hour during the week where everything is half off if you are looking to save money.The staff is very accommodating. It’s a big place so difficult to have coverage at every station, but they make every effort to move around to open the ride if needed and with a positive attitude.There was a guy who is in charge of maintenance and he was awesome, checked in on us, helped us out, made us feel very welcome.I highly recommend this place and will be back again. We all had an amazing time.

Funopolis is where the fun begins and never ends - LITERALLY (well, almost because we know every business has its closing time).The first time I visited I felt a bit weird and thought "wait, I'm 30 years old and these are games for kids" ... WRONG! After a little hesitating start I just started playing the Kung-Fu Panda game and it was so much fun that I played it for a few rounds. Afterwards I tried one game after the other, the euphoria kicked in and I felt like a little child on a playground again. I changed from beer pong to car racing, spinning wheel, cornhole, throwing hoops and went back and forth between the games. If you like a little gambling I can totally recommend Deal or no Deal. There's so many games to try out so plan enough time because it passes fast 😉The staff is always very kind and helpful and in the end it's fun to redeem the electronic tickets into little stuffed animals, toys or candy.If you think you're too old to play in an arcade center you're definately thinking the wrong way. Step over your comfort zone, play some games and have fun - because that's what it all is about 😎🤘🏼Many thanks to the crew of Funopolis for this awesome place 🖤🍀☀️🌈🦄✨

I love it here. The all day pass is about $43 each with the online discount. Sounds pricey but it includes go-kart, mini go-kart, bumper cars, bumper boats, rock climb, spider wall climb, riding the tornado, water wars (so much fun), mini golf, and 2 rounds of laser tag. Unlimited rides on all of those except the laser tag PLUS unlimited arcade games. We were there 5 hours and the kids loved every minute of it. It's not that busy so we were able to do all the attractions multiple times. Already planning our next trip there.

Greens where nice. Its early so no water and things like that running, which is understandable. Lady that checked us in was nice.

Took my granddaughter and her friend,both are 15yrs of age the had a great time , they had a game of Lazer tag, bumper cars, go carts, putt put golf, escape room (you need to let them know 24hrs before you come in for that) we will be going back. all kinds of arcade games. You could waste a hold day there

I have a wonderful time at Funopolis during ESP Summer Camp 2023! The Go Karts were so much fun! I love playing the arcade games! They also have good food such as hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers and nachos. The service was great and the staff were friendly! Laser Tag was also lots of fun!

I took my sister and two nephews here, on Tuesday. I purchased a play card, with $80 loaded to it. We had a blast! We were able to play just about every game in/outside of the facility. The staff were attentive and polite. The facility is older, but well maintained. I really feel like, I got my money's worth and more. I will definitely be returning.

Lots of great stores to browse. Plenty of clean well-maintained parking. Public bathrooms available that were clean as well. There was a separate room for nursing mothers too. They sometimes have food trucks in the parking lot.

Came across the Reyot Vica store there and found a graphic-T that says Don't sleep on your dreams. I bought a hat and I got the T-shirt for free! I was glad to add both to my wardrobe.

The outlet was very nice, clean! My first time there.They had what I came for. Made a purchase.I was a little disappointed that the Coach store was closed, but it is Easter Sunday. I'll be back!

Open spaces and great stores. The sales were huge and Bass Pro Shop is also adjacent to the outlets. Easy access off of interstate 20.

I just can't pass the outlet mall without going to the Nike store. I love shopping their clearance and regular priced products. With clearance, they're no longer making that sneaker, which means I won't see a lot of people wearing the same thing. Regular prices are good too, less than shopping in the app.

Enjoyed my time there. Restrooms, they were.clean. The shopping area is nice. A great place to walk and check out your favorite stores. We need some restaurants in this area.

Great place for just about anything. Clothes, home, food, beauty, tools, shoes, sunglasses, jewelry, and they have a food truck in the parking lot that took me back to Chicago. Great food. You have to try them. More of ballpark food. But, amazing. Lots of parking but, more spaces open at the Nautica end.

Wow!!! I visited Atlanta Suits Outlet and received outstanding one on one service. It is so nice to have a family owned business giving that personal touch. The service is great and selection plus prices are very reasonable. I Highly recommend you visit this location when you need a suit, men's separates and accessories.

This was my second time visiting the Tanger Outlets Mall in Commerce, Georgia. They have many, many stores and have special deals going on all the time. Before you start shopping, it is good to first visit the Tanger Shopper Services. They have coupons for many of the stores there, and the service costs $10. You get many coupons to use at the stores, so I highly recommend visiting them first. Also, the bathrooms are clean as well, and at the Shopper Services, they have comfortable seats to relax in the meantime while friends and family are busy looking and shopping. Hours will go by so fast because there is so much to see, and each store has all types of sales ongoing! I highly recommend visiting the Tanger Outlets for great prices on clothing and other products! Also, there is a Starbucks and hotels near the outlet mall. Happy Shopping!

Cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever been too. One of them has mother nursing area with relaxing rocking chair and foot stool. The baby changing station actually has disposable paper covers!

We always stop here when traveling along this stretch of I-85. The stores are well stocked and there are few vacancies. Convenient in and out.

Best location to shop for cheap clothings…. And very busy with 70+ brands to shop….

Oh, So Cozy is a great furniture with the best prices

Cool place to come and hang out, browse. Came here to pass some time before going to a family function. It was close and has anything you can think of here.

I took my son to find a suit for a funeral. We start off looking for a big man's shop but they were closed but one door down was The Atlanta suit store. The service was great,they measured my son we bought 2 dress shirts, slacks, vest, socks and they did the alterations on his slacks and pressed them.I highly recommend this place.

Convenient location and good selection of stores. Have been several times in the short time I’ve lived here and definitely recommend, even if you are just trying to get out and walk.

Prices in some stores were excellent and some other stores, like Old Navy and Skechers, had prices that were definitely not outlet prices. I found cheaper prices online. The stock at Old Navy was gone. There was hardly anything there. The children’s place and Claire’s had excellent prices. I was disappointed that most stores closed earlier than what was posted online.

One of the best state parks in GA👍. The staffs and hosts are so friendly and supportive. The campground is super clean and super well maintained, bathrooms and laundry rooms have nothing to complain. I know it’s the youngest in the state, but still very impressed with its beauty and all family friendly features for all ages. We camped here for 5 days, enjoyed hiking, biking and boating and more, love this wonderful place so much and already added it on my revisiting list for near future.

Very clean bathrooms, beautiful trees, nice picnic areas. Most campsites were closer than what we enjoy, signage needs work, unclear. Beach area would be great in the summer!

Wonderful park! Very clean. Playground still under construction but the kids were able to use what wasn't roped off. The campground is very nice, large enough for us with a 37' 5th wheel. We had a spot right next to the lake, so we had a lake view for the winter. I'm summer you won't see the lake but if you walk down the trail next to our site it leads to a floating dock with a nice view! Staff at check in were very nice and helpful. Trails are very nice and if you take the woodland loop you'll pass a little gnome village that people add to. Can't wait to camp here again.

Nice park. Good for picnics, Birthday and family gatherings. You and your family are definitely going to have a last time here.Good for weekend Castle water fun.

What a beautiful experience! The park is very well maintained. First class! The lake was clean and cool and fresh. No powerboats were allowed in the area where swimmers were. Paddle boats and kayaks are available for rent. The children's areas roped off so they can be safe. As a family we can't wait to go back and enjoy this beautiful park again. Plenty of parking close to the swimming area.

Beautiful state park. Friendly staff. Located within an hour away from Anna Ruby Falls, Brasstown bald, Amicalola fall, and Helen Town.Clean bathrooms and showers. There is no heat in the bathroom and showers.It has playgrounds, a boat ramp, and a beach. It is dog friendly place. A park to consider for a trip during summertime.We wanted to extend our stay, but the park was booked.It's definitely another great Georgia State Park.

Great place to stretch you legs through walking, hiking or biking. Me up with the grandparents for a sunny afternoon stroll on the most resent visit.We have also camped here in the past the regular campground is good, but the walk-in sites are fantastic!Come and enjoy!

I absolutely love this park. It's so peaceful and beautiful and it's usually quiet and not that busy at all. There are lovely walking paths, both paved and dirt, along the main park areas and throughout the woods. I take my dogs here all the time and they love it as well. The playgrounds and facilities are really clean and the whole place is well maintained. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful State Park and well maintained and numerous pavilion areas available for family get together. Beach is huge and kaiak and paddleboat rentals

My family stayed in cottage 6 for 3 nights. Everything was great except for the smoke alarm in kitchen. It sounded off anytime any steam was released while cooking. The cottage was clean and well stocked with towels, etc. Lots of wildlife to see on walks/hikes. We enjoyed our stay.

Definitely a more recent state park for Georgia, you can tell. The visitor center is very large very modern and has a very friendly staff. The bathrooms were very clean and well-maintained. There are ample hiking trails as well as equestrian trails all throughout the park.The overlook Trail does not actually give you an overlooked anything. Lol however, it is a very short walk from the visitor center and has wings along the path.There is an enormous amount of camping here from RVs and tents. They are everywhere. An Excellent State Park.

Sometimes I like to head into the woods for a few hours to be and explore. This is a great place for that, with miles of trails that take you through wooded and water areas. Definitely take a map as it can get a bit confusing. You can see the blazes have recently been replaced. The side in the visitor center has some shorter more accessible trails, but on the other side where the horses go is where you access the rest. It can also be a little tricky your first time.Go to the back of the parking area, near the bathrooms, and walk down the path you can see in the picture to get to the trailhead.

Nice but noisy. Leaf blowers in October, train tracks across the lake with trains going day and night, municipal airport nearby, and you can hear the highway traffic as well. It is very clean with lots of camping options. Hiking trails are mostly level and easy to traverse. I had a good stay, but probably won't return because of all the noise.

Stayed overnight at Cabin 5. Wonderful experience!The cabin is clean with plenty of supplies; towels, kitchen items, etc. Place is spacious. We stayed in summer.There's no lighting to the deck so if you plan to use the BBQ grill (there's one for each cabin) bring extra lights.Easy to check in even after hours. The process is very simple and easy to follow.There were so many hikes and the beach was extra fun.Children's play areas were not occupied and were missing some items making them impossible to use.Overall, nice relaxing time and worth the cost!

beautiful park with lots of hardwood trees, hiking trails, lake, campground, and cottages. We stayed at the campground. The spots are a little small, so larger RV's are a tight fit. I think all the spots are paved except for the tent camping areas. The campground is very clean and very good condition. The are many hiking trails, but bikes are not allowed on the trails. There are nice playground area for kids. Dogs are allowed on leash.

Don Carter is a really nice park and the only state park located on Lake Lanier in Hall County, (Gainesville) Georgia. Stayed at the campground and bathrooms are super clean. There’s quite a bit to see and do. Fishing, hiking 🥾 kayaking 🚣‍♀️ — multiple playground areas, horseback riding, boating, and the beach is awesome. Love the tall pines, primitive campground, the paved trail and the lake is beautiful. Met a lot of nice people. Will add the park to my ‘circle back in the early spring/summer list.’ Had a great time.🌞🏕🏃🏾‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️🛶🏖🚴🏾‍♀️🛥🐎🥾🐟🎣🍃🚶#FriendsOfGeorgiaStateParks#SupportYourLocalStateParks#HappyPlaces❤️

We visited at the end of October. The gardens are really beautiful. The children's garden is interactive. We feel like this is money well spent because we get to spend time in nature and are contributing to this beautiful area. We will return again.

Great growing garden, it was a very pleasant trip! Not sure if it is travel hour worthy but if you are in town def worth a visit. We went March 30 and the azaleas on paved path in bloom but the ones in trees still dormant. Tulips starting to play out. Phlox and candy tuft have couple more weeks. The hydrangea like plant was in full bloom. A few columbine in bloom as well as iris and hyachyth.Nice little stroll , plan to return when in town again

The garden was beautiful but my friend and I came a few weeks too early I think. Not everything was blooming yet but it was still beautiful and not as crowded as the garden in the heart of Atlanta. I will definitely be back soon once spring is in full bloom.

Although smaller than the one in Atlanta, it's still packed with many things to see and well-maintained. The amphitheater, mini waterfalls and fountains, creative sculptures, nature trails, labeled floral displays, and playground for children are just some of the highlights. There's a gift shop inside the entrance center and a drink bar just outside by the pond with plenty of seating to enjoy the view.There's plenty of parking available and admission per adult is around $14. I'd give yourself at least 2 hours to see everything. Bring a camera!

Such a beautiful garden to visit. Easy entry for reciprocal members, friendly staff throughout, well kept gardens, interesting special exhibits, a fun children's garden with a splash area, crafts, wood building home, and playground. My only complaint is that the button for the train didn't work, hope it's fixed soon.Take the hidden trails on the way to the children's garden, it adds a little more fun to the whole experience.

My family has been members of the Botanical Garden for year's! We usually go to the Atlanta location, but this time we had an adventure visiting the Gainsville location. We chose to visit because of the nature exhibit feature custom Lego builds.Everyone was very friendly and welcoming! The day we visited was an over cast day with the chance of sprinkles. Even with a cloudy day the garden andd grounds were beautiful! You can tell that everyone cares about the garden.Also, the playground was in immaculate condition and clean!It was definitely worth the drive!Here are some pictures from our adventure!

Great gardens without the hustle and bustle of the city. They have co*cktails in the garden on the 1st saturday of month for members. It was very pleasant!Great place to unwind. Beautifully kept.

Boutique-style botanical gardens with a little something to offer for everyone. Not as big as it’s sister in greater Atlanta area, but still has a lot of beauty to offer. Clean, simple and endearing. My husband and I are members and enjoy visiting and seeing the changes Mother Nature makes.

Although not as big as the Atlanta gardens, the gardens here are quite lovely. I particularly liked the Woodland Garden. If you are stumped on what to plant in your shaded backyard, this is the place for you. Easy paved trails. They will start concerts in the park next year.

Great visit and an awesome Halloween display. Had fun painting the little pumpkins. Definitely have them on my agenda to visit again for other events.

Amazing Botanical Garden!!! Excellent time with my husband. We walked around and saw a lot of species of butterflies and plants. We made the trail what a wonderful day. The location was perfect and the garden was clean and looks people cares about them. Check all my photos and you will see how much you will need to pay. I can guarantee you, that we need to visit and help them keep this wonderful place to us.

Will always be one of my favorite places to visit. Loving the honey! I really hope that The Beekeepers are able to go online.

Really beautiful and so much to see! The children’s garden was so cute with a play place!

You must go! Get an annual pass it's tac deductible and you get reciprocity all over the US! There are hiking trails and a children's garden and a playground. Beautiful place that changes with the seasons ✨️

So, my trip to Dawsonville to the North Georgia Premium Outlet was worth the trip! 👍This location has all the brand stores that you could ever want.❤ The stores are high-end🤑 to low-end and all in between. The property is clean, and it has an adequate amount of stores for whatever you might be looking for! The prices are truly a deal. I can truly say that I was not disappointed!💯👍🙌

New Huk store has the best Fishing/Outdoor apparel in the center. Customer service is top notch and the discounts are great for this great brand!

Great options. All out doors for those of you who aren’t too mobile or if it’s raining. On a Tuesday the whole food court was closed. Great time to avoid crowds and incredible sales…..Still if you are marathon shopping ….a drink and something to eat would be nice. For some reason my phone was having trouble downloading their map. Luckily very nice security and he was super patient with the line following him, like the Pied Piper, asking for directions.Better signage and a backup paper copy would be nice or at least and electronic board at the front of each row.

I love this outlet. This is go to spot for shopping when I visit Atlanta. This place has a pleasant atmosphere in Dawson County. It has wide collection of brands with best deals. The food court is good enough to keep day running.

My husband and I had the best experience at the outlet. We went to Fragrance Outlet and OMG!! The sales rep Joseph and The manager handled us with nothing but care!! Outstanding customer service and such a breath of fresh air. Please go check them out!! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Wide variety of shops to choose from and excellent place to find deals on yesterday's apparel and accessories. From Gap, Guess, and Old Navy to Boss Hugo, Burberry, and Armani you're bound to find something that suits your taste. GameStop and City Produce have claimed a spot here as well. As of July 2022, many restaurants in the food court have still not reopened...hope things return back to normal in the near future!

Good place to shop for branded dresses with less price and good quality. My favorite shop. Very big and lot of collection

Although outlets, malls, and shopping centers are a dying breed, this one seems to be holding up well. Yes, there are vacant spaces but the survivors are doing well.

Great variety for everyone. There's stores for all ages to enjoy. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and plan to get some steps in.

Neatly maintained with ample number of options to explore. We have very good discounts in the factory outlets do explore it.

I love all the shopping they have available.9-8-2023Went to a few new stores. Men's express had all the best button-down shirts for my son.Checked out the Levi store with the perfect fit jeans.American Outfitters had great shorts for my boyfriend.The fragrance store had cool water cologne for men.Not a lot in in atimberlan for us. But another great shopping experience.

I want to give a shout out to an amazing boutique that keeps me coming to this outlet even though it’s 70 miles away from me. I strongly recommend Glam collection to all my girl mommies that are shopping at this outlet. They have the BEST customer service and care. Diana delivers top notch service to every client that steps through the doors. Which is so rare to find these days. Aside from the amazing customer service I have to say the quality of clothing here is also immaculate. You will find the most beautiful unique and luxurious dresses and outfits for your princess. In addition to that this store offers personal orders for special occasion gowns. This store is the main reason I come to these outlets

I recently visited North Georgia Premium Outlets and had a fantastic shopping experience! The outlet mall had so many stores and products available at reasonable prices, and I was able to find some great deals. What's more, they even gave us additional discounts, such as an extra 15% off for certain stores if you're a student.I was particularly impressed with the selection of clothes at Levi's, Columbia, and Tommy Hilfiger. I found some really pretty shirts at Levi's and some cozy knit shirts at Tommy Hilfiger. The selection was amazing, and I had a lot of fun shopping.Overall, I highly recommend North Georgia Premium Outlets for anyone looking for great deals on quality products. The discounts were a nice touch, especially for students, and I found some really great clothes during my visit. Don't miss out on this great shopping destination!

I'm a local here. It's sad to see the mall dated and not kept up. We were excited to see them starting to paint. We were hopeful they cared about the place. Then the painting stopped... just 1 store on the corner was painted. Now, it's two colors. Some of the great stores have left. I used to make this my area to shop, but it's rare I go now.We did hear that the place is bringing entertainment. We hope that sparks the owner to give the place some deserved TLC. - making the mall great again!

Loved this premium outlet.This must be in your to go list if you are planning to buy premium brands from one area.It has a wide collection of all premium brands.Comparably lower prices.This has a vast parking area available.Food courts & food trucks are also open, visit before 4:30pm or you will have a good chance that food would be out of stock in food trucks.

I’m at frequent shopper at this outlet mall and my favorite store is Gucci. Samana always takes very good care of me and my family and friends. She’s very nice and good with communication. She always helps us find nice pieces that we’re looking for and makes the shopping experience so easy!

Great spa day with my sisters.. fabulous staff especially Amber J who helped make the day special.. The massage therapists were awesome and the food was delicious 😋

This place is a little slice of Heaven! Lots of hidden treasures await you, but you must fully experience this place to find out

Absolutely love the spa! They have a wer steam room with eucalyptus in the locker rooms and a dry sauna. They also have a jacuzzi, a quiet area, and hammocks outside in front of the lake. They give you a complimentary glass of champagne upon entering and have hot tea, snacks, and fruit infused water. You can come before and stay after your service to enjoy the amenities.

It was the most relaxing and exuberant full day of pampering. The staff was excellent. The spa was excellent. It had everything I could have asked for. Lunch and dessert was delicious. I was so happy to see so many girls taking care of them selves. Girls come on and take some time for yourself.... you deserve it.

Great getaway. Spa is amazing, relaxing, romantic, coupes getaway. Lots of services and full access to spa amenities.

For the most part it was a great experience, but was a little disappointed in a few things. Valet parking the gentleman did not help with the luggage after spending $40 per day, the spa had our treatments mixed up with what we actually requested. There were many things that we were told one way when we booked and another way when we actually got there. Everything was very clean comfortable and beautiful.

The spa has a very nice nature walk to relax and breathe in some fresh air. The walk ends on a golf course hole. At the spa there are plenty of great facilities for steam rooms and pools, as well as seduces like massages and facials.

What a huge disappointment . First, yes, you do get a complimentary mimosa, but I don’t see the hype in that. It’s only 1 free one, and you will spend $$$ before you leave there. My daughter and I were excited for our “spa” day. Upon entering, we were not given our “complimentary “ mimosa . We had to ask for it . Then we sat waiting for our massage. This was our first, ( and last ) time there so we didn’t schedule anyone specific for our deep tissue massage. While they were waiting for us to get on the tables , they spoke loudly enough for us to hear how that didn’t want to do our massages. Then one of them farted quite loudly, and they both laughed like school kids. Really? They were older men, and found that funny .The massage was just ok. Nothing spectacular for “Chateu Elan” had better elsewhere. So then we went to the hot tub. Very disgusting room! You can’t. See their “beautiful” grounds thru the wet foggy windows . The whole room is in need of fixing, especially the visible mold.I would think twice about spending your money here . There are a lot of negative reviews, and still nothing has been fixed there. I had a gift card, so that’s why I went, but u won’t be back .

I went here for my 40th birthday with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. We both signed up for an 80 min massage and an additional treatment each and had lunch as well.Pros: the spa facility was beautiful. The building itself and the views from the building are gorgeous and, to my knowledge, there are only a few true spas in the Atlanta where they have a jacuzzi, heated pool, etc that you can access, which was the reason why I booked here. Lunch was very good also and it was fun to be able to dine in our robes.Cons: value. Our spa treatments were more like good vs great which feels bad when you’re each spending $500+, even before lunch. I was disappointed in my 80 min massage. I work at the computer so always have a ton of knots and she used very little pressure- it felt like someone was just rubbing lotion on me the whole time versus really giving me a massage. My sister-in-law got a 30 min facial and was told by the woman doing her treatment she was pretty limited in terms of what she could do because she only signed up for the mini facial. She felt like the description of the treatment on the website should mention that if that’s the case. And both my mother-in-law and sister-in-law were told by the individual who did their treatments not to use the spa services because their nail polish / facial treatment would mess up. My mother in law was told if she messed up her nails, the woman would not have time to fix them. Most mediocre nail salons will fix a nail if you’ve messed it up. Why does the staff think she paid $90 for a pedicure?! To have use of the spa. :(

If you haven't been, treat yourself!!!! OMG! EVERYTHING was wonderful!One of my favorite places! This visit was my 4th.❤️

A beautiful venue for corporate events! We held an event here in 2019 and 2023 and both times were fabulous! Great staff and awesome location!

Came for a spa day and to work from my room. The staff was extremely accommodating from the time I arrived until checkout time. I had the spa suite with the Peloton in the room. I had plenty of snacks and wine and also full access to the spa amenities. I really enjoyed my Spa day and will return in the future for sure. Thank you to Pia, Chelsea, and Brooklyn for making me feel truly valued as a guest.

Absolutely wonderful experience! This spa was such a treat, I felt pampered and taken care of and most importantly, very relaxed. The facilities are beautiful and serene, so much you kinda forget you are in Georgia. I got an 80 minute massage and it was the most peaceful time. I also loved the locker/lounge area and enjoyed the steam room the most! Overall top tier experience, can’t wait to be back.

My husband and I stayed at Chateau Elan this past weekend for our anniversary weekend. We had not planned to spend a small fortune, but did - simply on food and 1 spa service. The massage was mediocre at best. We paid for a couple's 50 minute full body massage and the staff didn't massage my whole body. I mentioned it to the front desk staff and they didn't seem to care. They were already paid and charged the gratuity automatically.It was nice to have the shuttles from one building to another. It was also nice to have so many restaurants on-site, albeit costly. We had hoped to visit the winery on Saturday, but the shuttled-in "wine tour" groups overtook the space leaving no area to simply chill out in. So, we went to the Marc's bar and just ordered co*cktails. I just felt like they were catering to the external wine tasting groups, and not to their guests.We also had zero vanity lighting in our bathroom the extent of our stay, which was not too fun. Overall, the accommodations were nice, beautiful common spaces, friendly staff.

BEWARE OF HIDDEN FEES AND GRATUITY INCLUDED!!! Very disappointed at Chateau Elan. On our way there, they called my husband to tell us that the AC for the room we booked was not working so they had to change our room for no additional charge. The room my husband booked was approximately $350/night. When we checked out, the room cost was $595, not including all other additional fees that they tag on. The entire day on Friday it felt like we were just waiting around for the shuttles to pick us up. We had lunch at the restaurant by the golf course, the shuttle took 45 minutes to pick us up. Each time we requested a shuttle, it would take at least 20 minutes. The next day, I booked a facial. The facial was great, however, no one informed us that gratuity was already included, so I tipped her an additional $70 in cash unaware that they had already charged me an additional $50. Mind you, they don't show you the bill or anything before or after your appointment. You only see everything after checkout. I looked at the price online for the facial so that's how I knew what to expect the cost to be. According to them, breakfast was included with our room fee. Our final bill showed the cost of breakfast. We also had to tell them 3x that we had given them 1K gift card and no one knew how to enter it in the system. When we tried to dispute the room cost, they just told us that we were mistaken and probably mixed the price with another room. Our confirmation email showed no details of what we booked, so unfortunately we had no proof. No one bothered to tell us that gratuity was already included in everything. In addition, they charge a hotel fee, a resort fee and whatever else. We left this place feeling scammed. No one knew what they were doing. It's overpriced for what it is. Any decent gym has all the amenities the spa has. We won't be back again.

Hey, I've gotten engaged here and I still can't think of a better place! The food, the wine is still amongst the best I've ever tasted. Calling it a 10 /10 would be an understatement. I can still hear the applause. I genuinely miss this place. It will always be a special place for me. I can't wait to return to the wonder atmosphere. Marc Bar & Restaurant thank you for the wonderful experience.

Winery review! 🍷This place is absolutely stunning 😍 the wine tasting consists of 7 wine samples with a medium pour. Wine varies from reds. Sweet/fruity, to a more dry taste. You'll enjoy the ambiance and pictures in the vine areas and enjoy soothing music on Saturday evenings. Wine tasting will cost 60$ per person. It's worth the money 💰 Enjoy!

Gorgeous place and lovely staff! The food was not bad, but oddly enough, this place was not very clean. I have never in my life asked for a new room due to cleanliness, but I did here. The new room still wasn’t very clean in my opinion, but we chose to settle just to be able to enjoy our vacation. It’s quite an expensive place to end up settling. The bathroom off the lobby smelled horrendous during our entire stay, I just find this very odd for such a beautiful place.The spa, on the other hand was great! Beautiful, clean, great service!

Beautiful place, but not kept well in certain areas. My biggest concern is pricing! We booked the Spa room and paid over $1000 when the room was listed online for $637 after tax. Slap in the face to pay the price of two nights, and only stay for one! Other than that, the spa area was nice and calming. Quiet, and peaceful. The spa restaurant service was mediocre .. the waiter seemed to not want to serve us. All in all I would return for the peace, not for the price gouging!

Best weekend getaway only 1.5 hours from home. The entire resort is beautiful, which made for an elegant, romantic getaway. The staff were very courteous. Drinks and restaurants were pricey but not unexpected from usual resort prices. My husband and I both agree it was worth every penny. We enjoyed the wine tasting, and serval restaurants on site.

We decided to do something different for Christmas Day and had dinner at Chateau Elan. The buffet had too many options to name. There were stations set up with too many options to name. Some of the stations had servers and some were self serve. The servers all wore masks. There was an entree station, meat carving, salad, desserts, and seafood. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was very attentive and encouraged us to take our time, which we did. The price included food and non alcoholic beverages. After dinner we walked around and went to the winery, purchased a bottle of wine and sat outside to enjoy it. Overall a great experience!*We did not stay overnight, just spent the day there

My stay here was amazing. We enjoyed the girls winery weekend package. The spa service was outstanding. The wine tasting was a bit confusing and lacked adequate seating, but once we sorted that part out we had a blast. The breakfast buffet at Versailles was yummy. The staff at the hotel was pleasant and accommodating. Overall it was a great experience. I highly recommend it!

Came to this resort for Valentines weekend. We were able to get checked in early to the hotel. The room was very nice. There was a restaurant and a bar connected to the hotel. And just a short walk across the parking lot was another restaurant and the winery where you could do tours and sample the different wines. The tour was great and then did the wine sampling where you could taste Six or seven different wines. It wasn’t just a taste! It was literally almost a full glass of wine. And you don’t have to finish them all at one time. I tried two different wines the first day, then went back later on for another glass. Then went back the next day for two more! I ended up buying three bottles of wine before I left. Great place right outside of Atlanta.

Breakfast buffet is too expensive. It's like paying for a fancy dinner... 80.00 with drink and tip. It's a great atmosphere though and the service was good. The smoked salmon probably caused the high buffet price for breakfast? I'd say the cost prevents a full house....should be 60.00 for 2 not 80.00 with drink tax and tip.

Nice weekend getaway from Atlanta. The pool area was pretty filthy but we didn't let that damper our mood. Unfortunately, the positive memories we held onto ended shortly after we got back home and realized we were charged an extra $160 for allegedly consuming snacks from the snack bar.When called to have it rectified the representative admitted that there is some device that magnetizes the containers and you get charged automatically even if you simply touch it! That's insane! Now we are waiting on a call back after they confirm that we didn't actually eat their overpriced snacks. I'm not sure how that will be confirmed if they have already placed someone back in the room and housekeeping didn't actually check and replenish anything. Billing errors ruin experiences and even further when it takes forever to get them resolved. BEWARE! Don't breath near the snack bar!!We did the key drop at checkout because the line to manually checkout and get a receipt was all the way back to the stairs with only 1 person checking people out.

Beautiful grounds- pool area is amazing and the rooms are nice, but definitely not luxury hotel nice. Our AC wasn't working properly and we had trouble sleeping because we were warm. We also got dinner at one of their restaurants, which took almost 3 hours because they were understaffed. Our server was super nice and tried to make up for the wait which we appreciated. I wouldn't have minded any of these things, except the fees and the billing is absolutely ridiculous here. We were misinformed by the lady who checked us in that we had a $200 dining credit. Took me a week to get that sorted out, which I thought they had handled. However, there is now an additional charge that has been posted to my account since and the original charge hasn't been adjusted yet either. My friends and I stayed there almost 3 weeks ago now. I have never seen so many extra added fees to a bill anywhere else. It's ridiculous. I would rather know upfront that my $48 bottle of wine (that we had to order through room service because everything was closed after our dinner took 3 hours) was going to end up costing close to $100 when ordered through room service. They didn't even cork or pour the bottle for us and with all of those added charges you'd think they would.*update* have been dealing with their billing department for a month now and the charges have still not been fixed. I've talked with 4 different people now and it's very frustrating to keep having to follow up with them at this point. such a waste of my time- will definitely never book a room here again.

Me and my friends did the wine tasting for my birthday. It was really nice we had such a good time, our tour guide was Michael he was so funny and very interactive with us. If you have never experienced wine tasting you definitely should try it.

Really loved my stay here. This was a retreat my leadership team took and the location was amazing. Enjoyed the food, wine, grounds, views and service. If you're looking for a place to host a work event or just a romantic couples trip, this is a great option.I would recommend.

If I could give this 0 stars I would mainly because of the service my husband and I received. My husband took me here the weekend before Christmas for my birthday. However, in my very humble opinion, I feel service was lacking due to the complexion of our skin. We saw others receive top notch attention and service while we received the bare minimum and it was like that nearly everywhere we went. We did wine tasting, spa, and went to 3 restaurants/bars. After leaving, my husband told me he had requested a very special birthday setup at one of the restaurants (specified he didn’t mind paying extra) and they didn’t do one thing he asked. They also set us at the smallest table it seems. I’m upset because the pictures on the website of the restaurant point out where they have made desserts with “happy anniversary” or “happy birthday” on it. We didn’t even get that. Also, the waiter kept calling us “folks” which I thought was very rude. There were some good moments sprinkled throughout but for the money we spent we could have been treated better. Will never spend any money here ever again. That’s just my experience.

This is a beautiful property with an amazing staff. I would give it a solid 5 stars if it weren't for two significant issues. 1) I was on the top floor, but my view out of my window was obscured by green algae. The exterior of my windows were absolutely covered in the stuff. It ruined my view. I notified the front desk, but nothing was done the 3 nights I was there. 2) Food and beverage is WAY overpriced. Guests are basically captives to the resort. There are no options other than what Chateau Elan offers, so they gouge you on price, and the quality is not good at all. They serve basic, average dishes at exorbitant prices. Also, they are tremendously understaffed. A wait at a half full bar easily eclipsed 10 minutes. The one nice dinner we had in an almost empty dining hall was a disaster. We repeatedly had to get up and look for our server. This started the moment we were seated by the hostess, and continued until we had to get up and find our server to request our check. It was surreal. Housekeeping was a strong point. They were very friendly and did an excellent job, but I could not believe how much algae there was on my windows and how terrible the F&B situation is there.

Beautiful location. Great hospitality from the staff. Had the salmon...the flavor was not something to wake my palate, plus for the portions, a starch would help to keep one from feeling the meal was not worth the price. Now the cheesecake, oh my, that was divine.If you are going to the tasting room, make sure you wear something you can stand in for at least an hour on concrete, it may take a minute to find a seat.

We had a wonderful stay this past weekend celebrating our friends honeymoon and birthday.Breakfast and food review:We went to Versailles for breakfast and dinner and it was delicious for both. The breakfast is $30 per person and all you can eat, it’s unbelievably good. We went to Marc’s for dinner and had the best waiter you could ever have. We got the NY strip and the sweet potato chili soup and it was delicious. The wine is delicious and the tea party is a must do at $65-$85 per person.Spa:The spa is a must-do. The massage was one of the best any of us have had. They are currently renovating the spa and I’m sure great things are to follow.Overall I’d recommend staying here and the customer service was 5 ⭐️Alexandria during check-in was very accommodating and kind.

From the outside this place is definitely a four star hotel, beautiful grounds, lovely lighting. You can tell owners put in the effort, same is true for the common spaces on the inside. But the rooms lack charm, there are no extras in the room very skimpy, With towels, shampoo, etc. and the staff is kind but not polished. Definitely not the experience I would expect at a four-star resort. This place has great potential but for what I paid, I don’t feel I got my moneys worth. I hope they’ll put in the extra effort to get it up to par.

The Chateau Elan Winery and Resort was such an unforgettable experience. The staff was wonderful & super-friendly, the views of the vineyards were astonishing, the spa was super relaxing, the food was amazing and plated so picture-perfect and there wine was wine of a kind . Everything was just like it was described on the website and definitely a luxurious experience. Me and my friend will be returning in the near future and hopefully for the wine festival as well! One thing that could be better improved is the room service as some days it was very delayed and our room wasn't serviced at all until calling the front desk throughout the day to get something as simple as fresh towels. Also, I would like to shoutout one of my shuttle drivers Ron James. He was such a respectful, high-spirited, humorous person who loves his job and does it well. The Chateau Elan Winery and Resort is blessed to have a such a hidden gem as him among the many others who made our experience even more wonderful. Thank you to all the shuttle drivers, valet attendants and staff for all that you do on a daily. You are greatly appreciated and without you the Chateau Elan experience wouldn’t be possible!

We went for a moms weekend away and traveled from all over to come here. I'd never been to a spa like this before and expected to feel incredible but for all the pros, there were also many cons that were unexpected.Accommodations – VillasPros – Large living space, rooms and bathrooms, full kitchen, full laundry.Cons – Low water pressure in the showers, carpet needed to be replaced and updated. The villas were off location and the only way to get to the villas was by shuttle. It felt like a lot of our time was wasted on the shuttle, plus add tip to pay the driver which was not an expense we were expecting.**MANY hidden fees and they always tack on a 22% gratuity, which isn’t right. Gratuity is meant to be at the customer’s discretion for the services received.PoolPros – Waiters were very on top of being attentive on a slower day (Friday) but were less on a busier day (Saturday)Cons – Not enough chairs, DJ was incredibly too loud, they allowed friends of the employees to “call” chairs theirs when they didn’t use them for over an hour’s time after kicking me off the chair that did not have any item on it to “hold” it as theirs. The water was much too warm.Spa –Pros - Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. The included champagne flute was lovely. Everyone was kind and courteous and I truly felt pampered.-Brunch – The food was incredible and they offered to hold my boxed leftovers in the fridge so they didn’t go to waste.Cons - Felt pressured to purchase products used during facial which resulted in a product purchased that was too large to go home on a carry on, even though it was discussed I was from out of town. When I went to the front desk before check out, asking to return it, they suggested I head to the spa, which wasn’t open yet or they could ship it. Since it seemed they weren’t going to try to return it, I shipped it so as to not lose the money for it, but the form to ship it to myself also asked for my payment for the shipment.They also charged us incorrectly. One person booked the appointments so they charged a deposit to their card but when we checked out, they told me my total was going to be my full total, the deposit refunded to the other card which did not happen. Another member of our party was charged the full amount and the deposit on the original card was not refunded, so they had to call to straighten it out to not be charged twice.-Brunch – The hostess mistakenly seated our party and then didn’t remember it when we went to be seated. She was trying to tell us we didn’t have reservations. Very slow service. We waited forever for our food and check when we were ready to leave.WineryPros – The wine was wonderful and delicious and the pours were generous.Cons – For the tasting, you have to wait in line to get to the bar where they pour the wine and only pour one glass at a time so then for your next tasting, you had to get back in line.

Old and decrepit. Imagine going to a luxury hotel, spending thousands of dollars only to walk into a room with filthy carpets, stained chairs and urine stained mattresses. Completely old, outdated with 1900s light switches and fixtures, AC units that don’t work, spiders and spider web’s everywhere!! THEN you book a spa service spending thousands of dollars and when you walk in, the ceiling is leaking with MEN in the ladies locker room holding buckets catching water from their ancient ceiling. Then witnessing these men proceed further into the ladies locker room where women are half or not dressed with the buckets, dumping the filthy water into the shower WE shower in!! The spa is OLD and NASTY. Those steam rooms and saunas are not cleaned. Hair everywhere. Bugs everywhere near the hot tubs. They say they recently did a renovation. If they did they spent everything in the lobby and maybe the grounds because those look nice but I felt disgusted like my skin crawled the entire time. Yuck

Beautiful place. Just breathtaking, spacious, picturesque and such a wonderful conference space with great service.The resort staff were all friendly and I want to shout out Joe at the front desk who went over and beyond. Seeing us by the fire, offered us some Brut wine to cap off the night. What a surprise and delightful gesture.

We have been going here for Thanksgiving since 2015. This year we decided to stay on the property…EXTREMELY disappointing all the way around. We spent over 6000.00 on 4 rooms that were not luxurious at all. We would have been better off to stay at the Hampton Inn on the property. Absolutely NOTHING special about the rooms or the view. Guest services never answered the phone unless you let the phone ring forever, the complementary coffee was the worst ever, one of the toilets clogged(no one ever came to fix it) they ran out of turkey on Thanksgiving Day…(how do you let that happen), we had to sit at a table in the back near the ballroom and watch the cleaning staff work because they didn’t close the ballroom doors, the $95.00 buffet plate was good but there were not a lot of choices as in the past, (again they ran out of turkey -no one in our party got turkey), there were no smores to roast one night, the manager at Versailles restaurant was extremely rude and condescending when we tried to get a table. The food at Versailles was amazing but the bill for 7 people was 745.00…One bright spot-The golf course is worth playing. However all in all a very disappointing experience. I cannot emphasize this enough. For the 10k spent, we could have gone other places that go above and beyond for their patrons. Overall, I do not recommend Chateau Elon. Spend your hard earned money some place else that cares about their guest. Not worth the expense. So sad.

I have been to Chateau Elan a few times in the past and I have had excellent customer service. I have stayed at their hotel and have a had a few of their services. I have never been pleased with their spa services it's overpriced and the treatment that they give is below sub par. I mainly went to Chateau Elan for the ambience and I love their rooms and restaurants. I'm leaving this review today because last year a friend had sent me a e-gift card for Chateau Elan for my birthday. I decided that I was going to use it this year for my birthday. When I try to redeem the gift card it wouldn't work which is odd because the expiration date is 5 years. Well, I was told about 2 weeks ago by the Supervisor Shannon that they recently changed there system and that he will call me back with a new gift card number once he gets with accounting. In the meantime I went ahead and booked and paid $364 for a Spa service that I was told I would get refunded for the amount of the gift card. I had invited 7 friends to join me at the spa. Rewind- I forgot to mention that it is impossible to book over the phone it took days for me to reach someone and was promised a call back to book an appointment. By the time I spoke with someone after calling back several times, they only had 1 appointment left for the morning that I wsnted so I took it. My other guest wouldn't be able to get a spa treatment, but they were willing to purchase a day pass just to spend the day with me. Back to the present- I never received a call from Shannon or his manager Tammy in regards to the gift card and I had already left 3 messages. Today made day 9, after 6 hours of calling and being connected to hotel reservations and being told there's nothing they can do but send accounting and the spa an email to call me back which I have been told that for almost 2 weeks now and no one has returned my call. I finally got in touch with someone in the spa after calling back again, I canceled my reservation and advised my guests to cancel their day passes. The person in the Spa connected me to Shannon who still hadn't found anything out or just forgot about my issue. I explained to him that I had already canceled my service and that all I want is for them to refund my friend her money for the gift card. Shannon said he will have to speak with his manager and call my friend tomorrow to let her know if they will be able to do it. On the gift card it states non refundable. If you have provided TERRIBLE service to someone why would they visit your facility??? I told my friend if she doesn't hear from Shannon tomorrow and his response isn't anything but we are going to refund you your money, to file a complaint with the BBB. Chateau Elan gets a big fat 0 from me.

My sister and I had the most delightful Mother's Day retreat at Chateau Elan. The property is absolutely beautiful, providing a serene escape. The spa felt like a zen retreat, offering relaxation and rejuvenation. The winery, equally impressive, is a lovely place to unwind. The wines surpassed our expectations, offering a truly delicious experience. We highly recommend Chateau Elan for anyone seeking a getaway that combines luxury, tranquility, and exquisite wines. It made our Mother's Day truly special.#TeSheraEats

Wonderful natural State Park. We volunteered during the "State Park day" and did cleaning for a playground area. This park is very picturesque and features a beach. Like all state parks there's a $5 parking fee and it's well worth it. The visitor Center looks brand new in modern featuring a gift shop. The best thing about this park is the people including park ranger Aiden. He planned our event successfully and was very helpful in coordinating the resources. There is everything you would want featured at this park.

I have camped here by myself, with my wife and with two dogs as many as 30 times over the last 30 years. We have always enjoyed our stay here. We have camped in both campgrounds and in the primitive camping areas as well. We have seen many improvements over those years.The primitive area has moved and been replaced with yurts. The rest rooms have been rebuilt. The lake has been improved and new fishing docks have been added.The hosts have always been friendly and helpful when needed. And of course there is now the new welcome center. Shopping and restaurants are nearby when needed.Our favorite campsite is number 32 due to its privacy but has a longer walk to the bathrooms.We have fished there, rented a Jon boat and ridden on the lake in a folding boat with motor.There are always events scheduled throughout the year and a lot of history surrounding the fort.I recommend this state park and suggest getting a friends of the park pass as it is a great value especially if you are a senior or active military or veteran.

Nice, well kept park with a lot of facilities—playgrounds, beaches, multiple restrooms, bike repair station. Parking is $5. The loop trail around the park is 7 miles. Long but fairly easy as it’s mostly flat. The trail could be marked better, though. Also, it would be nice to have another small bridge somewhere in the middle of the lake to shorten the hike in case someone gets too tired.

Very nice, clean park! The beach, the yurts, the cabins all looked really nice. The park office is nice. Every bridge we crossed on foot seemed to be brand new or just super well maintained. We played disc golf and would go back and do it again. It was a fun wooded course. A lot of ups, downs and curves to throw around. A little thorny if you get off the course. Overall, we will definitely go back.

Got a good 3 miles in today. This state park is comparable to Deviles lake in Wisconsin. Crazy busy and a lot to offer. I'm really starting to like Georgia each day. This is a park we would love to come back too and camp.

Such a beautiful park! Plenty of trails to hike and jog. Tons of accessible shoreline for fishing and paddling (kayak, canoe, SUP, etc). The beach is a fun spot to hang out and grill with family and friends and just launch your exploration of the park! Very well kept and maintained! Totally will be going back!!

A very nice state park. Probably the best that the wife and I have been to over the last 6 weeks. We have decided to go to one state park a week until we visit all of the state parks in Georgia.This park has it all. A beach RV camping, primitive camping cabins to rent and it even has a yurt if you want to rent a yurt as well. Several pavilions dozens of picnic tables and a large concession area with a very large covered pavilion next to the concession area. This park looks like it has a lot of visitors in the summertime.There are canoes available as well as paddle boats. The swimming activities are no lifeguard at this time and the boats that can be used are closed for the season. There are also plenty of trails and such for those that like to do that. This is a dog friendly park. The visitor center is very nice in the staff are very pleasant to work with.

Nice park located in Winder, Georgia. The weather was great. Love the lake, yurts, campsites, paved walking paths and plenty of running, walking, biking trails. There’s a beach, too. Nice place for a day trip or a weekend getaway and lots of friendly folks…🏊🏽‍♀️🛶🚴🏾‍♀️🎣🚣‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏖⛺️🛥🌞

Cabins clean and cozy next to the lake. Treetop broke off across the trail/road and they had it cleared within two hours of notification. Never did figure out when the boat rentals were open. Clean, cozy, well kept up park.

Our first visit to this state park - we’ll definitely be back! The main access building is lovely with clean restrooms, info about all the activities, and even affordable snacks. We enjoyed the mountain biking (only 4 rental bikes available right now, so get there early or bring your own). Helmets are included. Be sure to bring your ID for any rentals. The mini golf course was better than expected - creative hope architecture and only $5/player. The colonial building was also a fun attraction to see. Unfortunately, the water activities (paddle boarding, kayak rental) wasn’t available the day we went, but we didn’t know because there wasn’t a sign on the door. For the future, I’d recommend a sign be posted if an activity is not available. Overall, 5/5 and we’ll recommend this location to friends! Affordable, family fun in North GA.

Book a yurt for a night to see how things would be, wow very serene and pleasant. Just make sure you bring your own bedding. The futon mattresses may not accommodate how comfortable you want to be.

I personally love Fort Yargo. It is one of the best places to take your kids or family. We just spent three days there camping and it wasn’t bad. People were nice. It was really quiet. Fishing is good for the younger kids. Plenty of bluegill and sunfish for them to catch. It’s a little harder unless you have a boat and you can fish the less fish areas for adults, I love Fort Yargo, though one of my favorite places to go escape from reality for a little while. The swimming area is also super fun for your kids and family as well. Pretty well-kept up the people in charge of it could be a little nicer sometimes, but they just try to do their jobs overall love fort yargo highly recommend for families.

Buetiful park w great views. Nice pathways with paved trails and dirt trails around the lake. We came up to spend a family day hiking and film a marketing video about website design for my company, Zanardo Dezignz.Excellent mountain bike trails. There's even a super cool tool station for your bike near the visitors center.We are coming back to visit the beach during the summer to swim and go kayaking and canoeing.

This was my first visit and hike at Fort Yargo State Park. I completed a 6 mile hike and it was absolutely beautiful. There were no issues with parking in the area was very clean. I hope to visitagain when the weather is a tad bit warmer.☺️

Really nice state park. Campsites are close to the lake. The bath house was clean. Visitor's center is nice. We didn't like sharing the hiking trail with cyclists as they sometimes didn't alert us they were coming. I think it's dangerous.

What a gem. We were running late because of unusual traffic. Called Ranger on call met us at the gate escorted us to our level easy back in spot. On our list of campsites to revisit

Its great park!! We stayed in yurts. It wasAmazing. Never knew there was a place 30min from my house such a peaceful and nice to hangout with friends

Visiting my daughter & her family all the way from Arizona.... And this gem is 10 mins from her house. Literally it is half woods and half lake. Such beautiful scenery while you play in the lake. It was a bit busy, cuz it was Labor Day, but we had a fantastic day!!! Everyone was so very nice and respectful to each other!! I highly recommend this spot to have a family day!!

We love it here! We bought License to Chill Winter passes and just have the best time. The tubing and ice skating are wonderful, they play Christmas music throughout, have bonfires to make s’mores and warm yourself up, a snow area to have snowball fights and different carnival food trucks. The carnival rides are safe and fun and the staff members are so friendly. The concession food is good and reasonably priced. It’s just magical. Everything you want at Christmas. I highly recommend going. You will make cherished memories.

My family is having the best time this summer! Season passes are affordable and you can pay for them over a period of three months. We have also enjoyed the food and frozen treats!

If you, kids, or anyone in your group have “FOOD SENSITIVITIES”, don’t even bother trying to bring your own food or snacks. They will not let you bring anything in, no matter what or which higher up you talk to. You can only bring in sealed, unopened, or completely empty water bottles, NOTHING ELSE. Now To the review. Your typical water park and the atmosphere that comes along with it. The park has about 10 water slides, some of them require mats, tubes, and others you can go without anything. Everything is provided for the requirements to ride. The only requirement is that the rider is 48 inches or taller. Wave pool is about 6 ft deep. Bathrooms are pretty well kept up, so that’s worth a star in itself. If you’re a local, and are getting season passes, they are worth it for the summer break kids are usually on. Just remember, the little ones will eventually get hungry, and fries alone are close to $8, make it meal for $17. Remember, food sensitive or not, if you’re bringing your own food, you will take a minimum 10 minute walk to your car to go eat and quench your thirst. “Enjoy”

This place is absolutely beautiful and so convenient! We stayed in the lost shaker cabin and it was beautiful and so perfectly clean with plenty of extra amenities for your stay with an amazing view over the lake ! There is two restaurants and an amusem*nt park right there by it and so much more ! You don’t even have to leave the campground ! We absolutely loved it ! We will definitely be back !

I’m a fan of Margaritaville at Lake Lanier over the summer completely. However, their Lakeside Lights over the winter was expensive and disappointing. Parking was $20, tickets to just walk through and see their eh display was $26, or you could purchase the all access pass for $60. (for ONE person). The light walk through ticket was $20, but for some reason the processing fee was a whopping $6. I think that’s ridiculous personally?The All-Access pass included access to some small carnival rides and some extra stuff, but in my opinion $60 was a bit much.The lights were basically a 5 minute walk through, you got to walk through 4 kinda disappointing light arches and then walk a bit more and see a couple of light up presents. I just think for that price it could’ve been a bit more.It was super nice for kids to come though. Every family I saw seemed to enjoy it, but it just could’ve been more.

I would definitely not go back. This place falsely advertised there was snow falling. Really they just have a tube that spouts out snow/ice. The fire pit needed to be lit all around and they needed more fire pits. The ice rink was extremely small and very overcrowded. The carnival rides are mostly for small children and there are no bumper cars. I was under the impression there was another snow tube area but there’s only one and the line was extremely long. There are no directions. you park walk down the hill across the street and down another hill to get to activities.

Pay $20 just to get on the island, and then another $20 per person for a walk with a lot less lights than a drive through experience. Part of the walk is a steep uphill climb, people in wheelchairs couldn’t get up it, sure that was the case with strollers, and others with physical ailments.Not worth the $$ for this “show”. Would have seen better lights driving through neighborhoods and save the $$.

The website is horrible. I tried to order tickets online and couldn't. When I called to try and order over the phone, I was told she could not process over the phone. Horrible customer service. We are planning our visit and were told we would not have any trouble getting tickets at the gate for the Christmas event. I guess we will see.Continued review, event was mediocre for the money. The kids had fun with the rides, but the lights are not even close to being as good as the drive through lights before. Plus, it is super pricey for what you get, or rather don't get. Don't waste your time or money.

First let me say it's beautiful here...but the lack of correct signs for parking and access to Land Shark are missing. The wave pool is a limited seating area, even the picnic tables had "hold" stuff on them. More seating is DEFINITELY needed and should be made permanent. Especially the lounge chairs, more shaded areas would add a little more space for people waiting for their families on the water rides. The lack of drinking water is a bit concerning, maybe a water hut would be welcomed.

Over priced for what they offer, unless you have have a discount. I was charged for 5 tickets but only needed 2 due to a system error, I was told by water park personnel they don't give refunds, luckily other family members hadn't purchased their tickets yet so I was able to swap... lesson learned

This is for margaritaville's lakeside lights spectacular. It was horrible! I was looking for a place to see the holiday lights in Metro Atlanta and remembered fondly, driving through Lake Lanier Islands to look at the lights. I searched and there isn't a drive through light show anymore. However there was a listing for Margaritaville which seems to be a successor event. An incredibly poor successor it turns out. I seem to remember paying something like $30 per vehicle before. Now it's $20 to just get into the area then it's $20 per person to see the lights. So for just two people you're out $60 to just see the lights. We drove up after work and made the mistake of eating in the park. Two people had grilled ham and cheese sandwiches with chips and water and it was $30. So add in tax and we're at $100 to walk around in the cold to see the lights. Which may have been a lesser stunt of the lights hadn't been so incredibly underwhelming. We paid more to see less AND be cold doing it. My neighborhood has a better light show and I live in a fairly poor neighborhood. Do not waste your money here.

We visited for the snow attractions since Stone Mountain isn't doing their snow stuff this year.This is our first time visiting.Cons: We went and spent almost $350 for 2 adults and 2 children to enter, then another $20 for a "resort fee" to enter. We won't be back at these prices, it wasn't worth it.I don't exactly remember how much per person the food was, but we also spent another $100 on 2 chicken finger baskets meals and 2 chicken filly meals We asked the staff if we could exit the park and come back without being charged a resort fee again. We got blank stares and told they didn't know since it's a different company at the front entrance (??)I also called before we drove 2 hours to ask if they shut down the park due to rain and the staff member didn't know 😑The light show was an extra charge and was underwhelming.It was drizzling today, so most of the rides were also shut down.We did the blizzard mountain, and a few employees(teens) were on the phone the whole time, if there was an emergency or issue, they wouldn't have noticed.The wave pool snow area is icy, slippery. There isn't much they can do about it since it's artificial snow, but there are no employees monitoring for safety either. We watched several people falling on the wave pool concrete.Pros:The kids enjoyed blizzard mountain and the wave pool snow area.The wave pool area had snow ball making toys which made snow ball fights fun.The few rides they did get to ride seemed to let them ride for extended time, not just a quick 60 seconds.

I was there with some friends and we didn't see anyone. Right as we were about to leave, we saw a guy watching us from behind some corners. We were pretty far from the parking lot so we walked fast to our car. We kept seeing him so we would walk faster and faster until we were in a full sprint to our car. I sweat the place is haunted.

We had dinner at the restaurant. It was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon so we waited at the bar. Once we were seated, Mickalea took excellent care of us. We ordered grouper fingers and fried pickles for appetizers. It came very quickly and the apps were very good. The dinners consisted of Swiss mushroom burger and shrimp baskets. I am impressed at the speed of the service. The food was decent and the service was excellent. Now, getting to the restaurant is a bit tricky. If you are stating on-site, it’s easier to get there but you will park a long long way away.

Went to see the Christmas lights, now called the “Lakeside Light Spectacular.” It was definitely not spectacular. This experience is only worth 25% of what is being charged for admission. And you also have to pay $20 just to get in to the resort. It’s really just a short path around a portion of the lake with some lighted displays. It is significantly less lights then what they used to have. We have come in the past when it used to be the drive thru experience. That was 100x better then this, with MUCH bigger and better displays. Another problem with the new display is that there is a huge TV that is super bright projecting advertisem*nts over the area that really takes away from it all….it is so bright it almost lights it up like daytime. Honestly if you just pay to get into the resort you can see most of these lights from the road and save yourself the money. Overall I am sad to say I won’t be doing this again. I hope they bring back the old lights and drive thru experience. I promise if you decide to visit, you will be disappointed with how much you pay to see this “spectacular”.

I wonder what a fantastic business decision would be for the park? Let’s close access to the lake and fence off the water right at the beach! That way when it’s 100 degrees out, everyone can bake and not have the ability to cool off in the lake. Idiots! I won’t spend another penny in there. Plus they raised prices again.

My family and I have been coming to Lake Lanier Islands for 20+ years now and have seen the many changes and renovations within the park. Yesterday we visited for the holiday weekend and experienced a new entry process that wasn’t executed properly for guests. After a lot of miscommunication, we received great customer service from Regan`and Treda. We were glad to have met them as they made sure we were taken care of. 🇺🇸🥰

We went to the water park and had a great time! They have a variety of things for all ages, however if you want to ride the bigger water slides make sure you're in shape to climb the hills to get to it! They have some tiki bars, which were nice to grab a drink and relax, and there were plenty of food options available.

This year's Christmas event is a far cry from previous years, incredibly disappointing. When the event was a drive through around 10 years or so back, the lights were great, the carnival had tons of rides and they had a pretty large Christmas shop with a Santa for pictures. Now the place is just terrible. First of all you cannot purchase tickets at the event, you are forced to purchase tickets online with a ridiculous online fee even if you are physically there, received a 10 dollar fee for basically nothing. Payed the 50 dollars for 2 tickets and the light show was pitiful, barely any lights on half of it. Also a word of warning especially those with children do not let them play on the snow "play area" with the fake snow. The fake snow is pretty much a giant mound of rock hard ice that would bust a kids head open if they ever slipped and fell on the wave pool concrete below (which would be fairly easy because it's slick ice). Also none of the places accepted cash at all. It's safe to say I'm not going to be returning for future years. Do yourself a favor guys if you're looking for a Christmas date idea, go to Green Street in Gainesville or any other neighborhood with great Christmas lights then use all the money you save not going here to take her out to a nice restaurant afterwards.

Called to ask about snow tubing specifically and was told it was open, paid $54.99/ per person only to get there and stand in an hour and half long line to do snow tubing ONCE, the employee did not have the courtesy to mention that they are backed up when I expressed my concern if we will get to actually go on the ride. They were also still selling people tickets at the gate not mentioning the long line, worth mentioning that snow tubing is the main attraction in winter in this place, nothing else is worth the $54.99, rip off, avoid this place.

I am writing this review in context of the Christmas experience, not the summer offerings. Fourth year attending but this year is our last. The first year was outstanding and so much fun. Each year since it has gotten less in terms of offerings and experience. The walk-through lights seem to diminish each year (first year they had it all the way back to the waterpark playground, including a show and fire pits). This year they have added a processing fee on the tickets! $21 for four of us in junk fees and you HAVE to buy them online. They wouldn't let us buy in person, so you couldn't avoid those junk fees! The carnival offerings are bare bones and the staff could care less about being there. Santa meet and greet is no longer offered (kids loved that!). The snow play area is barely full. All in all we dropped over $200 tonight with little to show for it. The Christmas magic is gone from here. Unfortunately we will not be returning again. Maybe this has just become a stop gap in profit to keep the business afloat during the non-summer period. I hope not, but it sure feels that way.

They’re gonna end up pricing themselves right out of business IMHO. Margaritaville has taken over the park and now manages it. It’s been that way for the last few years. Unfortunately, their take over coincided with covid. The problem is the prices are not reasonable.For the winter/holidays: Many years ago it was a tradition to load up the car and drive the family through the holiday light show. Now it’s a walk through holiday lights show, so you get cold fast. Especially the kids. The holiday displays are nice and it will seem magical to kids, but once is probably enough and you probably don’t need to go every year. Since it’s a walking tour, if the weather is bad (raining or too windy) you won’t enjoy the visit. They do have fire pits but it might not be convenient for you. The cost of admission is high and the cost of food is high too. So eat before you arrive or pack snacks in the car or plan to eat when you leave. The food isn’t worth the prices they charge. The line for the snow mountain tubing WILL be long no matter what time you arrive (unless you arrive when it opens and you’re first in line). Even if you’re first, you will wait another 60-90 minutes to ride again. The snow is like ice so it’s hard, so your butt WILL hurt.For the summer: It’s okay. The rides / slides need updating in my opinion. As of 2023 they blocked off the water at the beach so you could go to the beach but not get in the water unless you waiting in a long line to go out on the inflated bouncy thingys they have in the water.The staff at the LandShark Grill are over worked. They’re always short staffed. The adult drinks are expensive.No matter if its a winter or summer visit- The cost of admission is high and the cost of food is high too. They don’t let you bring in food or drinks. So eat before you arrive or pack snacks in the car (you can go to the car to eat and return) or plan to eat when you leave. The food isn’t worth the prices they charge.

We went for the licence to Chill Snow Island attraction for the day. At first with the ticket prices I was hoping I'd get my money's worth (54.99 per ticket plus the fees online 🙄). But once we got there my kids were soooo happy and ready to get on everything. The snow Tubing was the main reason we came. Not many places in the south to do that type of activity. Snow tubing was a HIT. It was soooo fun and fast. We rode at least 5 times back to back. They have a snow ball area and kids loved it. We also went ice skating so fun, smaller rink though but still fun. Glad they have to ice gliders for younger kids. We rode all the rides they had. My kids rode them multiple times!! So glad it wasn't super crowded. This was the perfect family outing. My kids definitely had a blast. They had food as well, overpriced but it's expected and also had an adult beverage station. Something for everyone. Parking was an extra $20. I definitely recommend. After non stop playing for 6 hours it was worth it.

Beautiful place for a moderate hike to the Indian Seats on top. Lot of parking there with a visitor center. There are two other parking areas about a mile away, be careful about your parking place and the direction while coming back to your parking. Great views all around the top. There is plenty to keep kids busy like the huge treehouse, the turtles, and things in the visitor center. There are long and short trails, and are well maintained, with wonderful views. There are restrooms, some of them are not open on Sundays.

Very nice place. You need to have enough time from this point to walk all the way to top. Almost 3.6 miles up and 3,6 mile down .Good for hike with friends not with family and kids of lower age.

It has two hiking trails. The trails are somewhat confusing, make sure the direction’s along the route. Well maintained and free.

This is an excellent nature park to visit. It has some great outdoor architecture with the picnic tables, followed by the deck and the gazebo facing the the creek.Their is a activity/guest center right up front. There's a creative FAIR TALE trail with beautiful little homes create most likely by younger kids (please forgive me if it was done by the staff)...Very relaxing, and if you just need some YOU time, this is the perfect place....

Nice trail, not too hard, view is great once you reach at the top.Explore it if you love hiking, walking, natural beauty and trees.I gave it a name into the woods trail because trail is covered in big trees.

This trail stands out as one of the most accessible options. With multiple trailheads, you can experience a fresh perspective each time you explore it. It's also suitable for trail running. What I appreciate is the flexibility to create your own unique route, adjusting the grade, type, and distance according to your preferences. You have the freedom to customize your experience whether you opt for a 2, 4, 6, or 9-mile trail. I particularly enjoy the 4-mile Indian Seat side loop and the 6-mile combination of the west side 2-miler and the 4-mile Indian Seat. It has been my preferred trail for years.

Nice trails and parking area here. Nice view of the mountains at the top of Indian seats trail

I was told that there was a trail close to my house I was kinda shocked, and took some time out of the next weekend to check it out.I'm certainly glad that I did! It was pretty, and lightly strenuous hike for a Saturday morning. I took a friend and we didn't do the full trail, because she had something to do after, but I'm definitely interested in going back and finishing the whole thing.For those with kids, the Fairy Trail is neat because people have made a bunch of little "fairy homes" that they placed alongside the trail. It's funny and provides a bit of whimsy to the hike.All in all, I would definitely suggest heading over on a Saturday or Sunday day trip.

If you're up for a moderate hike with some seriously gorgeous views, this is your spot. They've got different trails to the top – whether you're in the mood for a quick jaunt or a bit more of an adventure. The trails are wonderful, making it a great spot for a hike. Especially if you're just starting out or looking for a shorter weekend adventure. My wife and I tackled the Indian seats and mountain side trails, and we absolutely enjoyed the experience. We're definitely planning a return trip – consider this hike highly recommended!

Beautiful and fun park for all ages! Two colored pavilions with a lot of picnic tables, there are working whales out here by The pavilions, there are tons of trash cans for your convenience. The bathrooms are open and they are very clean. Playground is open. The only downfall is there's no swings for smaller children. Lots of parking, great walking trails. NO dogs allowed.And yes the water fountains behind the bathrooms do work!!

I gifted my arts artsie kid tickets to one of her favorite shows. The acting was quality, atmosphere was classic, staff was very knowledgeable. Oh and they serve alcohol!! Best experience at a decent cost.

The Aurora theatre is a great place to experience a show, whether you're producing it or hearing it. The staff is fantastic, the equipment works, and there's easy load in and parking.The spaces are well designed for wheelchair accessibility and all the seats are good. Concessions are ample, and you can save money by buying tickets at the door.

This place is truly magical and is like one of those places you may have visited yourself in childhood. The memories we made here the other day were great. This is a historic theatre that features everything from puppet shows to large-scale traditional actor productions. It is situated on the historic Lawrenceville square, where there are plenty of great places to eat and drink either before or after any show.

My wife and I love this theater. It is small and the seats are soft and comfortable. We have been to 2 performances here Mama Mia and the adaptation of the movie Clue. Clue was really well done and the actors were fantastic. The parking is free and the parking deck has a door directly into the theater.

The new venue is fantastic. We've seen two shows on the large stage, a musical (Beautiful) and comedy (Henry Cho). Great sound, no bad view. We were in balcony in the last row. Plenty of foot room, no bad view. We loved it so much we bought a season pass.

Amazing place to bring the kids. They loved watching the show. The only trick is to find parking on a busy day and no turn around in the parking deck.

We attended the Valentine's Day jazz concert. The vocals and musicianship were wonderful! So much talent created a very nice event.Suggestions for the Aurora theater to consider:1. Repetitively highlighted in other Google reviews: 26%, including fees and taxes, added to out ticket price will be a disincentive to attend future Aurora events. Eliminate or reduce fees.2. The usher was untrained, unfamiliar, and generally unhelpful finding our box seats. The seats were unnumbered, and the boxes likewise unidentified, so there was no way to know for certain where our seats were located. Fortunately, the event was lightly attended. However, all seats should be identified and ushers should know where seats are. That is their job, right?3. Establish a minimum age for children to attend evening, couples-focused events. A squalling child did not add to the atmosphere.4. Prior to the beginning of performances, remind everyone to turn off and not use phones and flash photography. Unfortunately, a clear reminder appeared to be necessary many times.

Enjoyed the high school production we attended. Nice venue and adorable theater space.

Super great! Everyone from staff to performers and audience was awesome! It was nice because the performers were interacting with the audience. I will return :)

Every show I have seen here has been incredible! Tonight, we saw Duende Cirque Show and it provoked such strong emotion! The strength and beauty was amazing! We have seen The Little Mermaid ballet, Clue, magic shows, and several hilarious comedies. Extremely affordable way to explore the arts (esp with kids) and support art within the local community! Highly recommend!

Cool theatre! Easy to find, easy to park. We’d never been here before but heard about “The Play That Goes Wrong” on an NPR segment and decided to go on a whim. The play was HILARIOUS. The concessions were good and overall we had a fantastic time! I highly recommend going here if you get a chance. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

The is a sizeable theater. No bad seats. I saw a body building competition. Parking all around. It's a busy area.

The play knead was good. The Actress's Performance was amazing. I love the Hometown theater fell very cozy.

We had season tickets to the Broadway Series at the Fox for several years but as we've aged and grayed, going downtown Atlanta has lost its appeal. For years I've heard how good the Aurora Theatre is and our neighbors convinced us to go with them to "Christmas Canteen." From that performance we bought tickets for the final 3 plays of the 2023-24 season and after the fantastic performance of "Knead," we happily purchased the 5 play season package for 2024-25. (Go see "Knead" now. It's delicious!)Parking is easy and free. The theater is accessible to any and all. Best of all, the plays are unique and very professional. The cost is great and they have early-bird specials b4 the plays are announced. With Fox Theater parking at $50 now, the Aurora Theatre with close proximity to free, covered parking is excellent entertainment at a no-brainer price

2023 Christmas CanteenWas spectacular! What a talented cast!! This was our first time attending this production. What a treat! The Lawrenceville Aurora is so quaint and there are no bad seats!Thank you 2023 Cast!! Merry Christmas!

Great venue!!Parking is easy.The Holiday Juggling Show was great.

Stunning theater in the heart of Lawrenceville. It’s big and beautiful, with a cute interior and a small concessions stand. I think just about any seat in this theater would be great…it’s not too big and not too small. A great size and shape for a community theater! Beautiful lighting and sound…wonderful orchestra!!!

Ghost and Mastodon were amazing. I missed Spirit Box due to long lines for T-Shirts, but my family said they were great. 2nd time here and both times were great experiences. Staff, facilities, parking, audio were all great and there's not a bad seat in the building.

It was my 1st hockey game experience. Always wanted to go to a game at least once in my life. It was a cool experience. The staff there were cool and the food was actually descent. It was a good evening.I sat in section 107, row D and in seats 12 & 13. Good view in my opinion.

I really enjoyed this venue as I went to see a Gladiators game for New Years Day and it was really fun! The staff was really friendly and the game was really energetic! The environment was all fun as I definitely became a Gladiators fan after this game! Go Glads!

Had a great time here for the Monster Jam! Had no problem with parking and ease of access with little wait at concession. Place was pretty full water was 5$ popcorn 15$ so don't come hungry unless you don't mind shelling out for it! They had people helping you find your seats on every section which was nice. #monsterjam

Really nice arena! Boyfriend and I went to see the ATL Gladiators and had a great time! The seats are cushioned so it was actually comfy, and the arena is actually very nice compared to others. Lots of options for food and drinks. Spacious as well! Will definitely come back! Parking was also very easy and cheap.

Great venue! I've seen concerts here, and last weekend went to our first lacrosse game. The Swarm did a great job and won! It was very entertaining and the whole family had a blast!

Went here to see Tyler the Creator! Getting in was very fast compared to most concerts that i’ve been to. Ample parking all around the stadium. They have a very generous bag policy, just make sure your bags are within the limits and you should be okay. Everyone working was friendly and I overall had a great time!

We saw Zach Bryan here and It was a great venue. Our seats were perfect. The sound was great. Parking garage was close to the arena. And plenty of restrooms and concessions available. Will definitely return.

We arrived at the venue an hour before the concert start time, and the staff handled parking, security, and check in very smoothly. Despite a near sold out crowd, we were in our seats in 30 minutes. Excellent facility. Well managed.

We definitely love this place! There is lots of parking, although you do have to pay. I believe it was roughly 5 dollars and you cannot use cash. They host all sorts of events here. There is ease of access to the bathrooms and to your seat. It seemed that most seats were padded and comfortable. Although if you’re watching a serious hockey game, you might not be sitting much. You do have to go through metal detectors on your way in so be prepared. The concession area is easy to get to as well with lots of yummy food and drinks (alcohol & non alcohol)to choose from. I don’t think there was a bad seat in the whole arena. Definitely a nice atmosphere and a great place for entertainment!

Tomorrow by Together group put on an excellent show. They were professional and entertaining. The concert started promptly at 7 pm and lasted 2.5 hours with a 3 song encore. They had a video story that ran throughout the concert. The stage appearance changed alot. Really nice. Their dancing and singing was excellent. They spoke to the crowd at different times and were engaging and funny. About 13000 attended. The concert venue had great seats and sound.

Came for the AEW Dynamite/Collision and the arena is fantastic! The parking garage was easy to navigate (we had valet), the elevators were in great condition (I loved how they were indoor vs outdoor elevators for the parking garage), and it was so spacious and clean from the restrooms to the concessions to the stands. And the seats were good! Not uncomfortable and not difficult to see from. I'll have to come back to Gas South for another event soon!

We went to Disney on Ice. The only complaint is the price of the food for this event. I am pretty sure that it is controlled by Disney. The performance was amazing and featured all of my kids favorite characters. There were acrobatics and fireworks. They really outdid themselves with skaters jumping ramps, skaters dancing with fire, and crowd interaction. I was amazed at how well thought out the show was in terms of moving props and not letting it distract you from the performance.

I had a great time at the Gladiators game. The place wasn't packed, so lines for concessions were short. The prices are standard, nothing too exciting. The team lost, but it was a fun time. Not really a bad seat in the house.

Gas south is good site building for event .loading deck so close the event hall . Good for vendors.The manager is very nice for helpingWe are doing 625 crystal chairs yesterday. And 225 gold chairs today .Happy business

Visited for WinterJam 2024 and the concert was good. The food was not overly overpriced (it is an arena so higher than normal, but not horrible). For example got 4 chili dogs, 2 regular dogs, 4 drinks and 4 bags of chips for $62 and change after taxes. The seats in the arena are not bad and the bathrooms are well placed. Parking was good as well and leaving they had it flowing out good took. The stadium was either at capacity or very very close too.

Here for AEW Dynamite. The concession stands take the tops off your bottles so people can't throw them at others, which is fine, however the bottles do not fit in the trays they give you. Walking down the aisle to our seat, my bottle fell out the tray and there was soda splashed everywhere. Also the arena seats are too close. You have to stand up to let someone walk by. I'm coming off a hip replacement and having to stand so often to let someone by, walking with a irregular tray down those steep aisles very tough for me. The pizza, cheesesteak and fries are delicious, just arena pricing is the downer. Parking is superb. Easy to drive in and out. Traffic area not bad. Lots of restaurants nearby

This place seats 13,000. We were here for a Vibe game. The staff is friendly, the restrooms are spotless, the seats actually have leg and hip room, and the beer is tasty. Do yourself a favor and come watch any of the professional sports teams that play here!

Great location and easy to get to! Staff were friendly and seemed to be very well organized inside and out. Parking isn't too far from the arena. I love how this area is clean inside and out.

Walking down the aisle to our seat, my bottle fell out the tray and there was soda splashed everywhere. Also the arena seats are too close. You have to stand up to let someone walk by. I'm coming off a hip replacement and having to stand so often to let someone by, walking with a irregular tray down those steep aisles very tough for me. The pizza, cheesesteak and fries are delicious, just arena pricing is the downer. Parking is superb. Easy to drive in and out. Traffic area not bad. Lots of restaurants nearby

This place seats 13,000. We were here for a Vibe game. The staff is friendly, the restrooms are spotless, the seats actually have leg and hip room, and the beer is tasty. Do yourself a favor and come watch any of the professional sports teams that play here!

Great location and easy to get to! Staff were friendly and seemed to be very well organized inside and out. Parking isn't too far from the arena. I love how this area is clean inside and out.

The park was neat and tidy. There weren't many people, and there were swimming pools and equestrian riding courses. One lap is about 1.7 miles away. There is a lot of consideration for walking with pets and children. There are many parking lots, so you can use them conveniently. It is minor negative that the stream is small and there is no pond. If you live in Alpharetta, you must visit there once.

Wills Park is simply wonderful so so many reasons. From walking paths, to baseball fields, to disc golf, to tennis courts and so much more, Wills Park is a most wonderful amenity here in North Fulton County. It even boasts open spaces to relax, throw a frisbee, kick or throw a ball or to just relax with a novel or non-fiction offering. In terms of recreation, Wills Park is truly a special place. For those who are lucky enough to live in close proximity to Wills, I'd venture to guess that it would be a favorite park.If you are in the area, remember not to miss this special place. And for those who might venture a car trip to experience it, I would recommend that they do.

Love this park. Trail is amazing, park is clean and the playground is fun for kids of all ages. Park has lots of seats if you want a nice cozy place to sit and read a good book. Cute doggies walking around and there’s fenced areas for doggies of all sizes to play which is great because it cuts down on dog poo being all over the park. Alpharetta community center is there as well, there’s a number of things for people in the community to get into there. Overall, I give this place a 10/10 😁

Every time I've come to this park theres swarms of leaf blowers and landscapers with loud lawnmowers. Its the most unpeaceful park in existence. Guys with lawnmowers and gator vehicles driving past you on the walking trail and leaf blowers blowing dirt and debree clouds all over the place for what? who cares if there are leaves on the ground? Its not worth the noise and nuisance.

Came from out of town with the family for a conference. Took our small one to the park to kill time. The playground is nicely shaded, and in great shape. Our daughter had a hr at time

It was beautiful sunny day at Wills Park! There is usually a great mix of park goers there and everyone just seems to be happy to be outside in such a great space.

Whether going for a walk while your kids play, taking a picnic, or even just sitting down on a bench! Great place with a castle themed playground your kids can roam barefoot and wild In!

Nice. I only experienced horse arena for dog agility competition. looks like they are updating and putting a new fences and looking great

A great area for short hikes or letting the kids to play.The park is well maintained, there are several playgrounds and Wacky World is one of the best locations to let your kids play.There were millions of squirls and the girls really liked them.

The park is always a great place for kids… fireworks tonight were simply awesome!!

We've been coming to this pool every summer for the last four years. My daughter absolutely loves swimming and jumping off the diving boards! The addition of the huge water slide is great. The concession stand is good, just a little pricey, and they are always out of the ice cream my daughter wants. I would have given 5 stars, but this year I have noticed that the lifeguards employed here are not very pleasant. The previous years, they have always been friendly and helpful, and 2 years ago, there was even one lifeguard that stayed late and waited with us inside when my car broke down and we were waiting on my husband to come get us. But so far this year, they have all been rude, and seem to be on some sort of power trip.

Sat in the lawn section and had plenty of room to choose from. We brought our own chairs (make sure they are not tall chairs) and sat on the hill dead center with a great view of the show. You can order all your food and drinks from the ticket master app and pick up without waiting in lines!Sound was great and lights gave a great night show.

Great venue - lots of pluses and a few minuses.Went to The Chicks concert last night and had a great time. We were in the pit (row BBB) which are the best seats I’ve ever had. The sound was great and the venue is well laid out. Traffic getting in was heavy but at least moving. I think the prices for concessions weren’t crazy which was nice as well.On the negative side - getting out of parking lot was a dumpster fire. It’s like all the people directing traffic called it an early night and pandemonium ensued. Our row sat for nearly 30 minutes and never moved. Although we were in the covered section, once the concert started it got super hot very quickly because of how close the seats are pack and virtually no airflow.

This concert was our first time there. We will definitely go back! The staff is very courteous and helpful. Sitting on the outside of section 101 had good pointers. Great for catching the breeze! Not so great for the distraction on the outside walkway, and everyone seated in the same row going in and out.Overall, it was still a great concert!

We enjoyed this venue. Parking was $25 even though we had purchased over $300 in tickets that should have come with parking passes. They purposely do not forward the passes on a resaleAudio was lousy and muffled for some remarkably clear vocalists. You are going to this location for the show part. If you want to hear some vocals, try the tabernacle, fox or Roxy.

Great concert, very good venue. Confusing on the parking but once you get in, it all grand!Like all Amphitheaters it's outdoors. Covered for the most part but it can cool down quickly at night so bring a layer to put on if needed!

While the name has changed over time the venue remains outstanding. Every seat offers not only a great view but some amazing acoustics as well. A seat on the lawn is also a great option to take in some live music. Plenty of food and drink options round out an amazing experience.

We had the best time at the Jelly Roll concert. Ameris kept us in the loop on all details about our visit. We know what items were and were not allowed. We had our mobile tickets saved, ready to go. All staff there were very friendly & helpful. We parked in Lot B deck. Very close to the amphitheater. The sound, lights, everything was perfect! We had the best time. The way it’s set up, even the folks on the lawn have a great view of the stage since it’s a lifted area. Seats aren’t real comfortable, but you’re standing a lot anyway. There is a little more room to walk the isles than most places we’ve visited. If you have to get up to leave your seat, you’re not having to making everyone stand up. That’s nice. Great experience! I couldn’t believe how fast we flew thru the line to get in. It was really long, but moved very fast. Great procedures they have along with security & staff. Excellent venue!

This was an extremely cool venue for the Arctic Monkeys to play at! The way that the hill is built into the amphitheater is amazing and the surrounding vendors and area is also great. Beautiful location and amazing show!

Easily my favorite venue in the metro Atlanta area. The snacks are reasonably priced, the staff is friendly, and the breeze coming down the hill is lovely. We sat in the ADA section and had an excellent view.

We have seen SO many great bands here! Love this venue as we don't have to go downtown. The venue does a great job getting people in and out quickly. Exiting the parking lots can take some time but that's to be expected with the mass exodus that happens at the same time.

Ameris Bank Amphitheater is an outdoor concert venue located in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA. The venue has a seating capacity of approximately 12,000 and hosts a variety of concerts and events throughout the year. The amphitheater features a large stage with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, as well as a spacious lawn area for general admission seating. There are also several VIP areas with premium seating and amenities. The venue is known for its picturesque setting, surrounded by trees and rolling hills, which creates a natural and relaxing atmosphere for concert-goers. With its prime location just outside of Atlanta, Ameris Bank Amphitheater is a popular destination for music lovers in the Southeastern United States.

A bit hectic, but manageable. Parking can be challenging if your attention is not fully devoted. The facility was clean, well staffed and overall a good time. Covered seating was a treat with spacious aisles staggered rows and leg room for days considering what they used to be lol. Will definitely be seeing another show at Ameris Bank Amphitheater in the future and recommend anyone interested to give them a try.

On August 1st, we went to see Jinjer, Breaking Benjamin, and Disturbed. We had an amazing time! One word of advice, with VIP tickets, if they say fast pass is at a certain time, don't arrive earlier. If you do, you will have to stand and wait until the fast pass time to enter. We didn't know, so where we had to stand in line was hot and directly in the sun. Once we entered, our experience was top-notch. The food was delicious, and the mixed drinks were sublime. They also have a soda souvenir cup that you get free refills for. When it came time for the performances, all three artists were amazing. We didn't sit down the entire show. There was so much energy and hype from the bands, that it truly was an unforgettable experience. We will definitely attend another show here.

Saw Jelly Roll in concert. It was the best concert I have ever attended. Make sure you look at the restrictions on the website you go!! They wouldn't let our chairs in because they said there too tall. We rented the last four chairs at $4.00 apiece. Will definitely go again though, with the right size chairs lol!

One of the best places by far I have ever been to watch a concert!! The staff is amazing and courteous and the place is wonderfully kept up. I can’t say enough about how impressed I have been for the last 5 concerts here!! Highly recommend seeing shows here! Have more booked in the upcoming months. Other venues should take lessons from Ameris and take some notes on how you run your facility!! AAA+++++.. Keep up the great work!!

The view from the top of Stone Mountain was wonderful. Fire the teenagers working the gift shop and Summit Skyride; they could care less about their jobs, or what kind of experience their customers have. Also, someone should police the trash on top of the mountain periodically through out the day.

For someone who's never seen or been on a mountain before (lived in Chicago all my life lol), this was truly an amazing, beautiful experience! The view from the top is great, and the mountain is huge and just peaceful and relaxing to be on top of. Lots of great places to take pictures. The wait was also not too long either if you go early

Great experience along with walkup trail. The round trip admission fee is $35, but if you just taking it to descent it is $12.5 per person. They run every ~15 minutes or so.

This was an amazing view of ATL. The kids loved the ride and also the water crater. It was a really peaceful and amazing place to take pictures.

Nice view! This place is a chaos on holidays ! Don’t come with kids on Holidays ! The management it’s son bad and the installations are very small

It's interesting that the whole thing is made of granite, not a mountain. The panoramic view of Atlanta from the top is also healing in itself.

Enjoyable way to go to summit of the stone mountain. The view is great. on clear sky, you can see downtown of Georgia.There is hiking trail to the top with some good elevation for those who are in shape.The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They put zones on the tram ride to make sure social distancing for the riders and open windows.

We had stay the night at the Stone Mountain Inn so we could be up early and be first over to ride to the top. However due to bad luck the wind was up to much the day we visit and we did not get to right. Hope to make it back one day and take advantage of the attraction.

If you want the best view of Stone Mountain, you must ride Summit Skyride! I visited in a somewhat cloudy day so I couldn’t get a clear view of the city of Atlanta and Buckhead.. You can hike down following the lines if you choose or you can pay to travel round trip on the tram. It was quite an experience to learn more about these beautiful mountains!

This gives you incredible views of Stone Mountain. There is a nice facility at the top where you can catch some more great views, grab a snack or souvenir.

Walked up the mountain to get the full experience and kind of just wanted to try this out on the way down to get a different look at things… Unfortunately for us though it literally had just taken it’s last ride down before we could get to the door as I was busy taking in all the surroundings. So keep in mind if you want to do both make it up there before they close and just get some more of your pictures and stuff on the way down.. For sure would hike here pretty often if I lived in the area, seems like it would be a great workout if you decided to run the not so dangerous parts of it..

I'll just start by saying, I can't wait to go back. This park is so much fun; a perfect blend of nature and modern day technologies. This place boasts a 400 site campground with a pool, and 2 full-amenity resorts within. You could stay a week and never run out of things to do within this park. They have nature trails, with stunning views of the mountain and plenty of opportunities to view wildlife. There is a gorgeous lake, and though you can't swim in it, you can paddle or boat it. Historical centers, including Memorial Hall. It has a golf course, and even an Attractions park that houses a ropes course, mini golf, splash pad, 4-D adventure, retail shops, candy stores, restaurants and so much more. Makes a great alternative to a full sized amusem*nt park and has everything a family needs for a fun day out. Getting around the park couldn't be easier. You can hop on board the Scenic Railroad for a beautiful trip around the base of the mountain, or travel up to the summit of this amazing granite rock via the Skylift. We stayed after a day of adventuring, to watch the brand new laser light show, Music Across America. It was Memorial Day Weekend and they had festivities throughout the day with live music from several branches of the US Armed Forces playing classic hits . There was even a Memorial Day firework show directly after the laser light show. Absolutely wonderful, wholesome, experience for all ages.

A very nice park. The mountain itself is very steep on the front side and has a huge carving carved right into it's side. They told us that the figures are each larger than the ones on Mount Rushmore. You can hike up the mountain from other sides, but if you get tired quickly or have some medical condition I recommend taking the line cart above the trees, thus enjoying the breathtaking views from up above.I would definitely recommend a trip there at least once.

🏞 A remarkable destination suitable for all ages!📍 For beginners : I will recommend Walk-Up Trail to top of Stone Mountain! Beginners can start your journey with this trail, offering a moderate challenge and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The Atlanta skyline is also visible, adding to the beauty of the location.📍 For a more laid-back experience: picnicking in the park provides a serene atmosphere while enjoying picturesque spots.📍 Overall, Stone Mountain offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventure, cultural heritage (Memorial Carving), and entertainment for everyone to enjoy.

Great trip to Stone Mountain. Make sure to bring food and drinks and prep for a long day. There are plenty of places to sit down and rest or stop and have a family picnic. Very family friendly attractions for little children. Also lots to do outside the main area as well. Do your research for fishing, hiking or biking. I'd recommend starting early on a Saturday and staying for the light show at night.

Great place to spend time with family with lots of activities to do. 4D movie experience was awesome. Tram to top of the Stone Mountain is worth doing. Dinotorium is fun filled place for kids of all ages. Just be aware they will close the park if it thunder bolts within 15 miles of park. Park is huge, it will several trips to visit all the places.

The mountain was clean, it was a pretty good hike for us. The walk up trail was good, we were lucky to see a white tailed deer on the way up. The mountain is completely granite, it's smooth. A good grip shoe helps to get control while to get up the last part of the trail. There is a small snack bar in the top, good hot chocolate and popcorn served. You can get tram tickets as well..

I really love exploring Stone Mountain Park. It’s one of my go-to spots for when I need a bit of nature and exercise, and I don’t want to drive too far from the city. Hiking and biking there are top-notch. The views you get of the city skyline from the top of the mountain are absolutely worth the trip. But yes, it does get pretty crowded sometimes, especially on those bright sunny days, so just a heads up if you’re not big on crowds.If you’re not up for the full hike to the top, there are plenty of trails around the side of the mountain. They’re perfect for staying cool and shaded during hot Summer days. And there’s more than just hiking and biking. You can also go kayaking on the lake, have a picnic, play some golf, go fishing, or just drive around the property soaking in the views.Oh, and a pro tip: you can park outside in the town and walk/bike in through the trail system if you want to save money on the parking fee. But honestly, I’d recommend just getting the annual pass. It’s $40 for the whole year, compared to $20 a visit. Totally worth it if you plan on coming back.

The park is great for visiting, especially with kids. Lots of kid-friendly activities and attractions. The top of the rock is awesome. The views are great from the top. The Skyride lift was a great experience. The laser show spectacular was great and must-see attraction. Though some of the management issues were also notable. The Dino bone extraction during the scenic railroad was very poorly executed. The marketplace restaurant was a mess. They were slow to respond and the food quality was below average for the price. The employees were not well trained at the ticket counter and the gate. They were lack of information about ticketing and building locations. Every time we ask any questions they had to ask someone else to provide the answer.

Our first time coming by to see Stone Mountain. $20 Vehicle Entry, was well worth the drive, literally around the entire mountain. Beautiful landscape, everywhere you look. We arrived very close to dark and were thrilled to find out that they close at midnight! The Lift to the top and Gift Shop were certainly closed by the time we arrived, but we were able to navigate a well-lit sidewalk, to get a bit closer to the carving. Really pretty area, very nice folks. Absolutely worth the stop!

Stone Mountain Park is a fantastic destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The massive granite mountain provides stunning views and exciting hiking trails for adventure seekers. The park also features family-friendly activities like the Skyride, Scenic Railroad, and a delightful laser light show. The parking is $20 a day or $40 for a year's pass, so do with that what you will. The hike is hard and will be busy a lot, but definitely worth it. Also, this is a shrine for the Confederacy so watch out for that when you go. If it wasn't such a good hike and nearly the only hike near Atlanta, I would never go because of the history.

First time on the Hiking Trail. My wife and I with two other couples went up. Definitely challenging, but worth it to me. Others in the group might have a different opinion though. View from the top is beautiful. Restrooms and concession stand inside the building up top if needed. We agreed to try and do this every weekend while there. We'll see how that goes.

Beautiful park! The mountain is really impressive and the view from it is amazing even when the sky is not so clear.The park itself is nice even though it was very hot and most of the stores were closed.The sky ride is nice but they squeeze over 50 people in it with no AC and instead of enjoying this 5 minutes ride, you just wish it would end.

Wonderful park with something for everyone! Impossible to explore the whole park in one day, so pick what you would like to focus on if you are doing a day trip. Train tide is very informative about the history of the mountain. If you live nearby, the membership is definitely cost effective. (No membership means you pay for entry and certain attractions are extra.) Membership pays itself on 2nd visit! Love this park! 😀

Fun, fun, fun. My family and I have visited this wonderful place twice this year. First time during Halloween. Second time after Thanksgiving. Pleasant atmosphere, a super nice time to spend with your loved ones. There are lots of things to enjoy. The parade, train ride, skyride, and drone show are a plus.

It was our first time and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The light and drone show, and the fireworks were awesome. Everything was maintained beautifully. Kids enjoyed every bit of it. We will be going back again.

I love going on hikes especially with a little history. We really wanted to check out the carvings but most of it was closed. You had to pay $40 to go behind the buildings to get a better view. Now it hot you in to the attraction area as well but we didn’t need to go into the kids area or on a train ride. All we wanted to do was go on a hike and look at the mountain. Not worth what you had to pay they should have had a separate charge. Overall a great hike took us about 1 1/2 hrs up and down plus time to walk around on the top. You could take a the ski lift but it was not operating when we went. If you go for just the hike it wasn’t bad but it was steep in some areas. It did say no dogs but lots of people had their dogs on the hike.

So we went here on our last day in atlanta and I enjoyed it. We did the whole hike all the way up to the top of the mountain and while it was a bit tiring it still provided a good workout and I also got to see some beautiful scenery along the way. The views from the mountains are stunning and beautiful and gorgeous in general. I also like the fact that there was a store at the top of the mountain which had drinks and snacks and also enjoyed going to the little outside area that was on the side outside the building that had the store because I see more beautiful views.overall I do recommend this place to anyone who wants to go somewhere that has beautiful scenery and beautiful views.

Day pass is 20$Lift to mountain is 20$ per adultAttractions are extraWe only did the hiking and loved how much there was to walk, we wished though they allowed dogs but they sadly don’t. They kept the trail clean and wonderfully labeled so you knew where you were at.The songbird nature trail is a cute trail for younger kids who can’t do as much hiking. There are also playgrounds for kids which looked well kept.There is camping for tents, yurts, and trailers. Tons of benches to have picnics at.Great size golf course though don’t know cost or how long it stays open

We had a great time. Definitely recommend getting the attraction ticket with the meal voucher for $5 extra. The food at the Campfire smokehouse was delicious. We had a great day even though it was 94°F and the historic square was closed.

Great place for a hike, for a family picnic, history lessons, and for a local "get-away". DO check the website hours of operations for ALL of the attractions. The "Google" page says that the "Monument Hall" (museum) operates from 10:00AM to 10:00PM. We went there on a beautiful Saturday (08/26/23) afternoon, and found it closed, with no hours of operation post anywhere on the building.Restrooms are abundant, clean, and open.Many of the shops were either closed, overstaffed, understocked, or a combination of all three. Like all "theme" parks, the food and souvenirs are WAY overpriced. Bring your own food and drinks.The park, overall; is well groomed, cleaned, and attractions/trails/points-of-interests well signed/marked.We didn't stay for the drone show, so no review on it.

I went to Stone Mountain for the Pumpkin Festival. Stone Mountain is ginormous, and there were several events going on that day. Very clean park. I loved how everything was lit up for the festival! I still have so much to see there.. great place!

The views in Stone Mountain Park were breathtaking. There are so many trails and areas to visit. I do recommend driving to the different trails because the park is huge and they are all very spaced out. The mountain is very impressive in person! Unfortunately, the majority of the attractions and restaurants were closed, including the train. Kayaks require reservation and we’re fully booked for the duration of our trip. Parking is $20 and $40 for the whole year which is a great deal.

Ascending on a cable car to the summit of the stone mountain, the journey unveils intricate stone carvings that tell stories of the past, adding a cultural touch to the adventure. Reaching the summit, a beautiful view awaits. Be vigilant while walking on the mountain, there’s few steep slopes. Whether engaging in recreational activities or enjoying a leisurely picnic, the majestic surroundings create a perfect backdrop for a fun-filled day. The harmonious blend of nature, art, and entertainment makes this park retreat an ideal destination for those seeking a memorable and diverse experience.

I visited at saturday night time for lunar new year event, and it was incredible. There are lots of well decorated lights to see and many games you can enjoy. Food trucks' foods are great, but all of them were very expensive for the small portion. The drone show blew my mind. It was awesome. Fireworks were okay, but it's short.

We bought passes online that included parking. Parking and venturing to the trails is most cost effective. The hike to the top was impressive and also quite difficult. Make sure to take lots of water. We did also go into the park. We loved riding the train and playing mini golf. Food is ridiculously expensive and just okay. The tram was closed for maintenance. The drone light show was the best part! Such a cool experience!

Located amidst stunning natural beauty, Stone Mountain Park offers an unforgettable outdoor experience for visitors of all ages.

Plan your visit today and discover why it's a favorite destination for locals and tourists alike!

So we came on a weekday so I would imagine the experience was a little different. It was a bit difficult to find the access area since a good part of the attraction area was completely closed off. Also it was difficult to walk around and field since most of it was blocked off for the shows ( I had never been here before and wanted to see all the states). It looked like there was lots to do and I wish we had had more time. Very family friendly and a great nature spot just off the hustle.

Visually and historically worth itThe mountain is stunning on its own, with an impressive carved monument, surrounded by a beautiful park. It's historical significance can appeal to anyone looking to learn more about history and ponder, refute, or respect is merits.Short of 5 stars due to the park being mostly closed off during my visit and the hefty entrance fee of $20.

So much to do especially on the weekends with the special programs, would be nice if some were offered during the week as well. The ticket window and it's employees leaves a little to be desired as well as the food to purchase but just bring your own food. And thankfully only have to deal with the ticket window once!

Awesome place to visit! The Stone Mountain itself is unreal, surprised this isn’t on the National Parks and Monuments list honestly. Tons included. Give yourself a full day! Be ready to deal with inconsiderate people playing mini golf and be patient. The laser light shows are a blast as well. Dino Fest can’t be beat!

One of the most beautiful places I visited in Atlanta so far. The view is amazing, wonderful sunset, and clean track. You can enter for free by the pedestrians entrance, but I believe you should pay a fee to go by car until the park lot.

Beautiful park . I hiked up the main trail but should have brought an umbrella. Because I got heat exhaustion and spent the evening throwing up any food I ate.

A great view on a clear day! The hike is tough in a few places and pretty much all up hill to the top.

Very pretty park, it was foggy the day we went up the gondola. The carving is underwhelming but I also was disappointed with Mount Rushmore, so maybe carvings just aren’t for me. The guide was very kind and every worker was hospitable.

Great family experience for all ages and we had a lot of fun climbing the mountain! You can for miles all around on a clear day. Depending on your age and physical ability, it may take you longer to climb up the mountain. Or the gondola is the way to go.

I visited it with my friend's family last June. This place seems to be a park, museum, and amusem*nt park!! You can easily climb to the top of the mountain by sky ride. Reach the top, you can eat delicious ice cream and a cold drink, too. As soon as I stepped on the top of stone mountain, I felt like I had landed on the moon. 🤩A few good tips:1. The parking fee is not cheap but if you are planning to visit there twice or more, I recommend buying annual pass.2. Let the children wear clothes that don't matter if they get wet. There's a water splash attraction that kids really like. Swimsuit? Very good!3. There is a nice train attraction, too. However, if you don’t have enough time and if weather is very hot, the train is not recommended.4. Bring a simple lunch box. It's hard to find a good restaurant there.In closing, Take a lot of great pictures and have a great time! 😍

Stone Mountain is a great park to visit. Both the walking trail around the mountain or up the mountain provides a great view and a enjoyable experience. If you visit I definitely recommend doing the walking trail to the top of the mountain. It's a little under 700 ft in elevation gain and you get a great view of Atlanta and the surrounding area.

Amazing views of Atlanta and the surrounding country side! Enjoyed the train with the kids. Go after 4 pm and get the Attractions pass for much cheaper.

Our Christmas trip to Stone Mountain was an incredible experience that left us in awe. Stone Mountain itself is an amazing place. We hiked up and descended via telespheric ride. The railroad tour gave us awesome insights into the area's history and the Cherokee trail was a breathtaking adventure. Everything about this place was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommended for anyone.

Well I loved seeing this, it was awesome. We come out of season so several of the attractions were closed. The tram to the top was down due to wind. But we enjoyed it. I would like to see some things improve, the restaurants for sure. We will go back in the summer. But I would recommend it to anyone. Be sure to go to the museum to get the history. There are 2 floors.

Stome Mountain is a Great place to get outside and stretch the legs. And it's just so close to the city!! The park offers numerous walking, hiking, or biking trails around the "mountain" and to the top of the rock. I love just setting up shop up top, setting up my camera and just relax, watch the sunset, try some astrophotography, and then walk back down. Nice that you can stay until midnight when the park closes. It's interesting that there is a hotel in the park, a golf course, and some water features as well. Then there is the carving on the rock. Which is impressive only by the level of detail knowing when it was actually made is kind of impressive you have to admit. The subject matter is less than desirable one might say. But hey, it's history it's important to learn about it in proper context. They even do Lazer shows on the rock of you're into that kind of thing. Do yourself a favor and always buy the yearly pass, you go twice in a year and you get the full value. I always feel safe personally but that doesn't mean I don't look out for myself when I'm up there late at night

Stone Mountain is a captivating landmark that offers a unique outdoor experience. Its massive granite rock face and surrounding park provide a perfect setting for hiking, picnicking, and enjoying nature. The summit rewards visitors with stunning views of the Atlanta skyline. Don't miss the laser show at night!

Great to use the walk up trail early in the morning to see the sunrise! Approx 40min hike if non stop. Nice location for photography.

Visited Georgia this weekend and finally decided to visit Stone Mountain Park, paid $20 for the day parking which I thought was pretty good and decided to take the loop 5.5 mile trail around the mountain, saw a nice mill house and a couple of deer along as well the lake was gorgeous, got really close to the side of the mountain and looking up was a splendid carving on the mountain, I got to say it was good work put in to it. I saw the train from the train and it was fun to watch.After the trail I decided to leave the park to get something to eat then came back and entered with no problems and made my way up the mountain, it was the perfect timing when I got to the top the sun was just going down, which I had a great view of the sunset setting down on the city of Atlanta.What a great place to visit, I didn't get to see the attractions but it's okay the trail was worth it, take care now.

Stone Mountain is iconic in Georgia, it’s a public park on a humungous size, it covers over 3,000 acres, it’s main claim to fame is the Stone Mountain Hike which I believe is about 1.5 miles, it’s a hike of various level of steepness’s on exposed granite, proper walking shoes are encouraged, it’s not for one who may have health issues, another way to the top is via the sky ride , the views from the top are amazing, stunning and beautiful, on the other side is faces cast into the granite which is also the position for the light show which occurs at certain times of the year in the evening.The other side of the park houses the amusem*nt and playgrounds for the kids and us larger kids, there is the gift show for a wide range of merchandise relating to getting to the top of Stone Mountain.There is ample car parking available and size of the park makes a great place for walkers and joggers alike

Rain and rain.. kind of a bad timing when I visited the place. Will be great if no 🌧️Will have to come again and do trail walk to see the actual beauty of this place.. good place for family photos and a half day plan to cover this place.

Hiked The Allatoona Falls Trail.This is a nice walk. The hike takes you alongside the creek on a fairly easy path. The terrain is not difficult. Perfect for kids. You have to watch for mountain bikes at the beginning, but all were very respectful and careful of those on foot.

Super cool park! There are two sides of the park. We liked the side with the old ruins on it best. It backs up to the mountain bike trails out there. Good for kids and awesome place for family photos.

I recommend this place to anyone who just needs some time out in nature! Beautiful area! Great location. Easy walking paths as well as more complex hiking ones.

Fantastic park. Great for walking on trails and enjoying nature, biking , kayaking, picnics, dates, etc, and great if you love history, ruins, and photography.P.s. if you think about going on the old railroad tracks please be careful. Its still very active. And don't go near the ruins at night. Too many holes and other hazards. And keep your dogs on your leash, and children under 12 must be with an adult.

Love it!No idea why is not water in the Little River. Probably a dam up current controls it.Is a great place to spend time whit kids or alone. Mountain bike trails, kayaking and fisging (when water is available of course 😄)Picnic tables and very smelling restrooms.Great place!Kids can explore and adventure into a relatively safe area, please keep your eyes on them.Dogs love this park. I constantly see many playing in the river.💯 % Family recommended 👌

We didn't really have time to see much of rhe Greenprint trail, but I was most excited about the bridge. Although I was disappointed, but that was only because I was hoping for more fall color. It was a beautiful day for a visit. We swung for a bit by the river, which was so relaxing and then had a little picnic snack at a table. It was a nice day to be in the sun, but there are other shady areas as well as bathrooms. The old dam was pretty cool. Parking can be a bit of a challenge especially if you park on the right side of the main parking area. There's quite a drop-off. We managed to find other parking after making a 9-point turn to turn around and then found and overflow parkinr area on the left as you're coming on. 🙄 Who knew.

I don't know if there are more than one ways to get into this park but there is a decent amount of parking spaces. When we pulled up there were a large number of mountain bikers going off in different directions.The dog and I initially followed the paved trail that paralleled the river, but it only goes about 3/4 of a mile before a dead ends. We came back and crossed over the bridge where there are a few options. I had seen someone walking on the other side of the river parallel also, and the dog and I took that path, which is not marked. We encountered very few people and no bikers because there are two places where a bike can't cross. Once you get past that it opens up a lot and while it's not necessarily in the woods, it's still a pretty nice hike.There are also the remains of the Old Rope Mill. None of the buildings remain, but you can still see the raceway from where they diverted the water to run the Mill.

Usually a scenic + easy flatwater paddle to a waterfall, but current conditions are less than lovely. Water levels have dropped, the ADA launch is closed, the banks are muddy and gross. There are now two drops on the way to the waterfall- one easily passable in a kayak and the other best portaged if you're not up for getting wet (and of course you will have to portage both on the way back if you don't shuttle). The turnoff to the waterfall was too shallow to paddle and I didn't want to deal with the mud, so I never got there. Bummer!

Beautiful place. Great trails. Please note this place is not patrolled or necessarily safe. I wouldn't go on the trails when its dark. Excellent photo ops.

Beautiful place, very nature place, with the river passing by, lots of trees. The paved trail is not long, but enough to enjoy a small walk. But appears the bike trail are longer and in different levels. You still can walk on the trails, but they are not paved. The parking is small, but there is additional parking in to of the hill before the gate. It's worth your time to visit.

Really nice park, great vibes. Lots of trails, mountain biking, kayaking, everything you need. Nice street art along the trail I walked. Will def be back to hike here again

Easy hiking/biking trails. A great place to spend a couple of hours for the whole family. There are paved and wooded hiking trails and mountain bike trails. The old mill ruins are good to see. Water level was low when we went, but still beautiful.

Shopping, shop till you drop..! Perfect location for shopping all premium and luxury brands.Lots of options right from polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy, Ck, guess, Brooks brothers, clarks, Cole Haan, Johnston and murphy.They have food court as well and few other restaurants to have food and drinks.Weather was perfect at 5 degree C.On weekends parking is a challenge.

Outlets….full of discounts. Nice. Need more time for shopping here.

Max all Decent brands stores and food availability, Nice walkthrough with friends and family.

Super place. If there were any empty storefronts, we didn't see them. Comfy seating available and WELL-kept restrooms available. There's a perfectly curated selection of clothing stores, sport shops, shoe stores, and food opportunities, as well as retail boutiques for a whole family or a diverse group to visit. This is our favorite outlet mall. Need to take a break from a heavy day of shopping? Stop in at the cookie or ice cream shop. Outside on the perimeter, there are additional restaurants to choose from. The only negative is that there is only 1 brand of electric vehicle charging available.

As you would expect for an outlet mall. SomeOf the shops are factory direct but the stock is over a year old or last years style. Nice place to walk around in nice weather. Would suggest bringing a jacket or sweater during the cold months

Parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon. I went to the New Balance Shop. They had friendly and attentive staff. There was a sale as well. I found my pair in one kind easily and searched for a second. Clean store too. There weren't shoes scattered all over. I'll definitely go back and even go back if just passing by.

Nice Outlet Mall. However if you need something to eat, do not eat here. There were only two people working in the whole food court! Mannequins are taking orders! No help from anyone!!

Visited on the next day of Black Friday. A very large variety of outlet Stores. They provide a lot of discounts. Very clean and safe place. Food Court is available with limited options. restrooms and all clean.

This place has a little of everything. They have live music at times. The food court has changed to where there's not many options but what options you do have is good. You can take your adult beverage along while you shop. There's plenty of parking even during Christmas shopping season. They decorate for the season's. This is an outdoor mall so you'll get wet in some places that doesn't have a cover when it's raining so bring an umbrella.

Good outlet with many shops and brands and reasonable prices. Nice place to walk in during good weather.

It was my first experience going to this outlet with many shops and brands such as Under Armour, loft, Tommy hilfiger , coach , nike , addidas and so on. lots of discounts and options. Nice place to walk in nice weather.CleanBig parking lotFood court

These 2 stores are my favorite and the only reason I come here the nearest Pepperpalace to me as like three hours away they got so many yummy spices and sauces so I’m so happy to see that this place is here. Also, there’s only like three crocs locations in Georgia. So I’m super pumped that both my favorite stores are here!

Lots of available parking, food court, & discount shopping. What more could a girl ask for? Lol! Sometimes with outlet malls it can be a scam. They draw you in promising discounts but when you get there it’s another story. Here I see that the flagship stores such as Tommy Hill, Converse, Vans, Lucky Brand among others had decent sales. Also a lot of clearance had an additional price decrease. Hell yea! Walked out of there with jeans & shoes. My shoe collection is getting bigger already.

This quickly became my favorite place to shop. I went for the first time last week and even though its a bit of a hike from my house, went back a week later with my family. The layout is one of the best for a mall, everything is clean and they have just the right amount of stores. My only negative is the food court. We did the pizza section and the burger section. All 4 of us said our meals were terrible.

Good selection of shops without being too crowded. Great place for a weekend evening stroll.

Excellent shopping destination, conveniently located and easily accessible off I-575, north metro area. The Outlet Shoppes are an open-air mall style layout, including a food court and all the typical amenities required for a full day of shopping fun. Plenty of free parking is available and the immediate area just outside the Shoppes has been growing and expanding rapidly since the outlet’s opening, and includes a wide array of retail stores, restaurants and family friendly activities for all ages.

Went to mall, parked lower side, went to Croc's store. While paying I was approached by mall security informing me that open carry was not permitted in the mall. Apparently Concealed carry is allowed with permit just not open. I guess some people just freak out when they see someone with a gun. Maybe their views will change if a good guy with a gun saves them some day.

Great mix of stores and easy access from the freeway. I only wish that there was a Starbucks here!

Such fun. The pathways are clear of debris and the views are endless. We visited for hours and still didn’t see everything. Mike was kind enough to let my doggy Ollie visit too!

One of the coolest car stops I've ever made. Could only stay 2 hours, wasn't near enough time. Next trip I'm planning to spend the day taking it all in.

The car your I’m sure would be AMAZING. However we only did the haunted trail and it was not worth it!! I spent $76 on my husband and I for the hay ride as well not worth it either! The guider gave away every time something was going to scare us she would step back behind us. Also there was one actor that laughed after they tried to scare us. It just was not worth it. The hay ride you have to climb up on a step stool and I was so afraid that my bad knee was going to give out. Then you sit in the bed of a truck with hay all over. Everyone was complaining about their butt hurting. I I would not recommend the haunted trail

One man's trash (or junk cars, in this case) is another man's treasure is an understatement!! This 34-acre junkyard art of over 4000 classic cars is definitely worth visiting. There are rows and rows of antique cars, some staged in very interesting ways. My husband and I arrived around 10:30am and it was almost 2pm before we left!! Plenty photo opportunities. There is a $10 charge for picture taking but don't let that stop you cause there is still plenty to see. And don't forget to check out the Styrofoam Cup Collection...

Drove out of way on a recent RV trip to make this stop. While my wife walked the dogs I went to inquire about price etc. Didn't see any signs regarding price but the gentleman walked out of his office and said it's $20 per person and another $10 per person if you want to take pictures. I honestly thought he was pulling my leg but he was serious. He said there were hundreds of cars along a 7-mile stretch of trails. I was interested, in fact curious, but no way was I paying $60 for my wife and I. Perhaps I would change my rating had I seen signs listing the prices etc., but I just got the impression this guy was conning me.

This place is incredible! A true treasure with rich history. If you haven’t seen it you need to visit. Great for a day trip if you just want to hike but if you are into photography then this is a wonderful place.

Cool place to visit and have a nice quiet walk. Lots of cool old vehicles to look at, a little sad knowing they will just sit there and rot but it is what it is. Also there is a spot where you can spray paint some cars, they leave cans out there for you. My kid liked it.

If you're a photographer and love old and abandoned things like I do you will definitely love this place! Also, as a car enthusiast you will love this place but you'll also be sad at the same time seeing some of the cars that can't be saved. It's 100% worth the stop, the money, and the time to go walk around, it truly feels like you've stepped back in time. There's not many places like this left around, see it while you can, and don't forget to thank the owner for keeping a place like this around for all of us to enjoy!

As a car enthusiast, this place was remarkable to see such a vast collection of vehicles in a picturesque setting. Over 4,400 vehicles and miles of trailers to walk. It is sad to see these vehicles essentially rot away but the idea of them all laid to rest in one area to appreciate was a great idea and we appreciated the effort to curate this venue. Far too easy to scrap and not have anything left but this is like a capsule in time. Thinking about who may have owned these cars, what roads they travelled and what stories they hold over the past 90’s years gave me the goosebumps to think about it. Well worth it. Thank you to the family who first set this local general store up back in the 30’s and had the vision for this

Old Car City USA is a hiking trip down memory lane. We had a great time exploring the many acres of random rusted carnage that is scatter throughout the woods. The trails take you winding through stacks of bikes, mounds of cars and rows of delivery vans. You could spend every day of the year here and find new treasures buried beneath fallen pine needles and leaves. Well worth the entrance fee.

This place is a must see, Lewis was very informative on the unique collection that has been part of his family since 1931. I feel I didn’t see half of it and I spent an hour there. I am looking forward to future visits.

My boyfriend and I went out for the first time today. While it was rainy, we still had a great time exploring all over and seeing all of the old, wrecked cars. They listed pricing very clearly when you first walk in. The gentleman that helped us is the current owner and the junk yard was started by his grandparents 92 years ago. You can definitely see cars from all decades from then until a few years ago. When you are walking through you can tell that they do scary tours and I think this place is perfect for that.

It was a gorgeous day to walk around. 32 acres, 45k cars, 7 miles of trails. So worth getting out of the city. Pair it with a visit to Tellus. They also do "Haunted Trails" at night in October.

Went on opening day May 8.2021...and I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED....50 percent of the rides are closed...it looks like corona virus hit the park....food suck....had an overall better experience at sixflags. Same rides as when i was a teenager...smh...Update got season passes this year 2022 thinking it would be better. As soon as you walk In park 4 rides closed and that's just walking in some been closed for seasons. Then I came to park today 5/8 and park was closing at 5pm when it clearly states it would closed at 7pm on site. Operational manager need to do a better overall job. This will be my last year coming here and purchasing a season pass. Disappointed!

We absolutely love this place!!! I recommend buying the flash pass!! The 1st day without flash pass we only ride 6 rides the next day with flash pass we ride a 100 times!! Just be careful because peons get abbey when you ride 4 times while they have been in line an hour but hey you got to pay to play 😁😉 we enjoyed the tornado the most and the python plunge!! I will warn you hours have changed they close at 6 during week which I want told when I bought flash pass at 3 so that upset me but this park is awesome with great employees not rude at all!! A few rides are closed and the lazy river because they don't have enough employees 🙄 😒 come on kiddos go to work!!

I took the kids today and they had a blast. Our 1st time. Plenty to do for young kids! We went on a Wednesday, it wasn't extremely packed but the lines were really long. We just decided to buy the platinum fast pass. So we were able to get on all the slides with a 5 or 10 minute wait. Fast pass definitely worth it for the few slides that were open. One of the slides conveyor belt did break while we were in line so we didn't get a chance to ride it. They did have a lot of slides closed but the slides we did get on were sooo fun. With the fast pass we were able to get on a second time. Overall we enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully next time we come they have all the slides open.

5 stars for value, I mean seriously where else can you have fun for $60/person for whole season.4 stars for the number of attractions available during our visits, many of them are not available due to insufficient life guards they said.3 stars for maintenance, pools aren't too clean. Leaves and debris. Some deferred maintenance can be seen like cracked pavement, dull and chipped paints and more. Far from say water parks in Florida which are well maintained.We had a great time though.

We had so much fun here!! They have a great selection of slides and attractions, you could easily spend the whole day there. The water was super clean and not too heavy on chemicals. Parking was great as well, and walking in and exiting the parking lot was a breeze.The one thing that was disappointing is the lack of cleanliness. It looks like the lockers have literally never, ever been cleaned. I didn't feel comfortable touching them at all. You can also expect the food to be expensive. If that matters, definitely bring your own as well as a refillable water bottle.Overall it's worth the trip and worth coming back!

It’s worth the price. Lots to do for all ages. Renting a cabana was 100% worth every penny!!! It was great to have a guaranteed place to come back to to relax, cool off, and know that our valuables were safe. We kept the 2 sides zipped and opened the front and back- with the ceiling fan on, it gave nice air flow and kept us cool. The cabana has a table and 4 chairs in the shade, plus 2 lounge chairs in the sun, but they can me moved where you need them while in the cabana.The wave pool and kiddie area pool have a lot of chlorine (for obvious reasons) and it irritated my face- a quick rinse with plain water from the bathroom sink really helped. A little disappointed that only a few of the slides were open. (Maybe that was because it was so late in the season?) still had fun, though and stayed the entire time they were open! There is something for everyone of all ages. They have a splash pad type area for they very young, and a bigger splash area with a 2’ deep pool for toddlers/preschoolers/ and an area behind that that looked like it would attract elementary school aged kids, and some more exciting slides for older kids and adults. They had some solo slides, and family rides. We would go again!

We had season passes. We didn't use them more than a few times. Probably half the rides and 2/3 of the restaurants were closed the last time we went, so I don't think we will go again.

I wish we could leave a little different review for each item. Half of the attractions were down and I'm sure it's a mixture of maintenance and staffing issues.Slides going into the children's play pools were closed for maintenance by the looks of it. All the pumps running just to try and keep them clean. The lazy river was closed forcing everyone into the wave pool. Limited staff I'm sure to keep the expenses down and increase profit. The rides that were open were well staffed and went pretty smoothly, one slide that people enjoyed would allow people unable to swim to ride it.Please if you go to a water park and plan to ride the rides at a bare minimum know how to swim.Everyone has a good time. Park needs some work but I'm sure in this day in time this could not be built and turn a profit.Chairs are used by people to stow belongings rather than sit in them. Family's of 10 would take 10 chairs for nothing more than drying their towels.First time ever going and I'm sure we will be back in the hopes more rides are open and repaired.

Great park to visit and spend some time with the kids or a date... Definitely splurge for the fast pass if it's in your budget... With few rides wait times can be long...The music is good and they keep it clean at the park

Avoid this water park its a waste of money. Most of the rides are closed, especially the lazy river and all the rides that flow into it, it hasn't been open for over 3 years and their website says nothing about it. That's totally misleading! I understand they probably don't have enough life guards but they have like 6 employees working the parking lot just standing there. I would have all of them trained and make parking free until things were normal. Most parents that come to white water go for the relaxation of the lazy river.

We went on a Sunday and the lines were not long early in the morning which saved us money instead of buying the fast pass. However the long lines started towards the late afternoon. Everything was super fun. The last river was closed which was a bummer. I didn’t like some of those rides required you to take your own water tube up the stairs. I would hope the upgrade all the rides to a mechanical conveyer belt to bring those tubes up to the top.

Could give it 4 stars but few rides were closed and feel like area needs more cleanliness.Went on Saturday and queue was 40-50 minutes for most of the good slides such as TORNADO, DIVE BOMBER, DRAGON TAIL.You can get chips, pizza, beer, fries inside but no doubt price is on a higher side which is definitely a big drawback.Overall the full area plus restrooms/changing rooms should be more clean :(. Request to management to take care on this.Very different rides with easy, medium and difficult levels.Some are very easy and some really beats your heart high such as DIVE BOMBER, DRAGON TAIL.Got general ticket online on 50% discount with 34$ each on which tax and processing fee got added so total was more.Also parking is extra $25.We got one season pass too which was $50 plus processing fee and tax.Lockers are there which is again on a higher price and it is $22 each locker.

We have been visiting World of Illumination lightshows from past few years and its always a fun place to visit with family and friends.My daughter loves the music synced lights and their music selections.I highly recommend buying tickets online in advance as this year, we saw them kicking people out since they didn't have tickets and all slots were sold out. Sometimes you'll find tickets in local Costco for a bit cheaper.Also, I'd recommend you visit this early in Nov, Dec or after Christmas. avoid last few days before Christmas if you don't wann wait in lines for hours.

The husband and I went tonight and it was absolutely amazing, we loved everything about it! Even tho the temperature was low and they didn't allow my outside coffee into the garden, we still had a fabulous time! There are clean bathrooms throughout the entire garden, plenty of place to sit and simply enjoy the scenery, tonight there was a strings band playing live beautiful music, there were lights everywhere once it got dark enough, even the other guess were so very sweet to us!! We will definitely be back whenever we come back to the area for work! The water at the goddess wasn't on which was unfortunate but it was still extremely beautiful! We recommend this beautiful garden for anyone wanting a stroll through nature, date night for any couple, an outing for the kids! There was a bride and groom there tonight taking pictures because it is that beautiful!! Enjoy!

I was worried about the parking coming in from out of town, but it was easy in and out! This was my granddaughters birthday present! She is in high school, so teens love it! Beautiful gardens! Easy walking! Very friendly staff! Restaurant was kinda slow in serving, but the food was excellent! I bought a membership because it's cheaper if you are going to return a few more times throughout the year! Can't wait to return!

We really enjoyed our time here. You could easily spend an entire day here with your family. We spent half a day and saw everything. It's well organized and easy to navigate. There was not a long wait, we bought tickets when we arrived. The only delay was that people didnt know what they wanted for tickets...i guess? Buy tickets in advance to avoid that. There are food and drink options on site. The restaurant prefers a reservation.

Been a member for so many years. This place never gets boring. So good for mental health to wander the grounds. Always has a new exhibit to inspire us! Very crowded on weekends. Parking in the deck really isn’t that bad at all. Love how you focus so much on including & engaging kids. Thank you!

I went there twice in the fall of 2023. Once for the Fall pumpkin show and then for the members only Christmas lights. I never tire of going to this place! Botanicals are beautiful anytime of year. Christmas light display was exceptional. Love the bars that were installed around the gardens for hot chocolate or libations! Music is piped in around the gardens and makes it very special. Truly an Enchanted Evening and a perfect place to start off the holidays!

An outstanding outdoor and indoor environment. A few hours can be spent walking all of the trails and taking in all of the scenery and plants that are thoughtfully organized both outdoors and indoors. A lot of time and attention has gone into creating this wonderful space. Timed ticket entry helps keep the experience calm, not rushed, and not crowded. There are not a huge number of extra parking spaces, so plan some time to find a space and walk to the entrance. There are many bathrooms throughout the grounds. Overall a wonderful experience.

Nicely maintainedHuge parkGear up to walk alot.Kids activitiesProperly managed with adequate facilities: washroom, restaurants , cafe etcOne can host gathering and private functions. Saw two wedding taking place inside.Enjoy the season best flora and fauna.Still constructing to expand moreDon't forget to collect map at entrance to enjoy the nature trail walk

We went to the garden to see a new art installation by artists we met at our B&B. We were so impressed with this garden. Tickets for two adults run $50, but you can get a membership for $105. The membership gets you access to 345 other gardens across the country in addition to discounts in the gift shop, restaurant, and a few other perks. Definitely worth it!We walked through for 90 minutes and didn't see everything thoroughly. We could definitely stay much longer if we sit, relax, meditate, etc.I appreciate their investment in art. This display, Origami in the Garden, will be there for 6 months (starting May 2022). The artists are from Santa Fe and are a fabulous couple.I will always stop by the garden now when traveling to Atlanta. It is inside of Piedmont Park in midtown and the surrounding area is great and very walkable.

We came on a Saturday (yesterday) and arrived as they were opening. The atmosphere from the grand lobby to the garden grounds is very impressive. I enjoyed the walk between gardens and exhibits. This time of year the air is crisp but perfect for the walk through. I especially loved the Orchid Daze exhibition. The flowers and leaves are SO exquisite. I was left speechless and took a moment to sit on one of the many benches to just take it all in. I highly recommend for any nature lovers. I would definitely go again especially closer to spring when more flowers are in bloom.

Very beautiful park but we couldn’t really follow the map. It didn’t seem to match up with the posted signs around the garden. So we ended up circling the same areas a few times and didn’t realize we almost missed an entire other section. Glad we found it! It would have been nice to see better descriptions and maybe some audios too. I’d definitely go back! And bring a water bottle if you visit during the summer. It’s hot!

We had so much fun looking at all of the exhibits. We even got to sit in on a cooking demo and got a free sample which was delicious. Everyone that works here is just so nice. This is my 2nd visit and I'm sure there will be more in the future. Make sure you wear sunscreen and bring some water because it gets HOT in the summer ☀️

One the nicest botanical gardens we’ve visited. Beautifully kept, manicured grounds. Very friendly staff and plenty of volunteers that love what they do and willing to show/explain various aspects.Entrance is reasonable prices and they offer discounts to military members.

This place was hands down one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever been to! Plenty to see and learn about here. They don't have as many plant name posts by the plants as other gardens I have been to but it is not my first rodeo. I used Google lens to identify the ones that didn't have tags. The Earth Goddess living statue was absolutely beautiful - even without blooms!!! I highly recommend buying your tickets online and coming in earlier than noon to get a nice stroll in before the heavy crowds come in.

We went for the holiday lights at night. It was cool and different but not breathtaking. There are good photo ops, but lots of people will be in your shots. I prefer the old drive through the cool neighborhood with Christmas lights myself. It is okay, but after seeing Singapore's botanical garden and its lights at night, it's going to take more to wow me.

Absolutely beautiful. We just went March 13th and while not everything was flowering and displays such as Mother Earth didn’t have their flowers in…it was still absolutely beautiful. It’s a nice place to walk with plenty of places to stop and rest. Loved all the restrooms and water stations along the routes. Our little one loved the children’s area. I am sure it is even better in May/June. Highly recommend.

The Flower Show is minimal, not quite a large exhibit. However, It’s a beautiful facility even when the trees and landscape are without the lavish flowers. I can’t wait until May when all the floral attractions are in full bloom, such as the Alice in Wonderful floral exhibits and the lady with hair made of flowers. The indoor garden was similar to being in a forest and you can feel the humidity and mist, it was almost the same sensation as being in a forest. The paths were clean and definitely provided a natural and botanical experience. There are lights at night that will light the paths. I think it is a beautiful place to propose or have a romantic date, especially in the event on a path with the hanging twinkle lights. With all this being said, it would be more exciting when the flowers and colors of the various gardens are in full bloom.

This was an amazing lights display. There were lots of people, but it was great being able to just walk through at your leisure and enjoy the displays without having to worry about cars or holding people back.The best area, in our opinion, was the music and light sync up were the strands of lights were individual synced to the music. Each light was individually synced up. It was amazing.For those that missed it this year or if you made it and decide to go back next year something I would recommend, if you’re able, is avoid the on site parking. Look for a parking deck nearby and park there then walk to the gardens. We walked past the line of cars waiting to get in. So much easier.

Fantastic place to go with family. Beautiful flowers, art and nature. Serene and peaceful location to spend an entire day. The Long leaf restaurant in the Botanical Gardens is a fine place to relax and have a decent meal. Small outdoor outlets through out to have snacks or a packaged lunch, chilled drinks, or king of pops popsicles and other options. Edible garden has a variety of veggies and the grower arrangements are educational to gardening enthusiasts. Loved spending time here.

We came to this place as part of our first visit to Atlanta and I have to say this may be my favorite place out of everywhere we visited. We were left speechless by the perfection of la landscapes and the beauty they have accomplished with all the areas of this garden. It truly felt like we were in a magical forest straight out of a fantasy novel. I absolutely adored the attention to detail in every corner and the cohesion there was between the different parta of the area. I highly recommend checking this place out and will surely be coming back any time I’m in town!

Breathtaking is the best way to describe this botanical garden. There is so much to explore and they even offer free, guided tours. Some of the people in my group participated in the tour, guided by Barb, and it was fantastic! Barb was amazing at what she does and has a true passion for carnivorous plants!I could spend all day here; it is truly worth the price for tickets if you take your time and really appreciate each exhibit for what it is.There is so much to see and enjoy!! I will be coming back for sure.

What an amazing place! I took a road trip to see the garden for the first time. I bought tickets for the daytime as well as for the holiday light show. I arrived around 2:00 and left at 5:00, than returned at 8:00. One thing to keep in mind is that there will be a wait for the light show. I waited in traffic for about 30 minutes and once I get there I waited about another 30 minutes in line. Even with the wait, it was well worth the trip. The light show is fantastic especially the canopy walk. This was also my favorite during the day.

Amazing experience for a quick day trip to Atlanta. Stopped by in the afternoon and was treated to a delightful stroll through the gardens. And the time they had the special orchard exhibit which was very fascinating to see. In general, there's not a single place in the entire complex that's not worth seeing, and I think within an hour or two. The entire place is definitely explorable.

I love this place! The green house buildings are amazing, the flowers in bloom are so beautiful, and the staff I interacted with were so pleasant. I love that my family can attend all year for one price, thanks to the Family Membership. Thank you!

I recently visited the botanical garden and had an amazing experience. The Orchid Daze exhibit was beautiful, and the Artist Lillian's work was delightful.The vibrant colors and intricate details of her art truly make for a beautiful experience, and I found myself immersed in a world of natural beauty. The garden's dedication to showcasing the intricate beauty of nature is truly commendable. I highly recommend a visit to anyone looking for a peaceful and visually stunning experience.

SO MUCH FUN! I went with a friend last weekend and had such a good time. Seeing Christmas lights is one of my favorite traditions, and this display did not disappoint. You could purchase drinks like hot chocolate or spirits upon entering. There were many opportunities for photos, extremely thought out displays, and a variety of different themed lights (insects, trains trees etc.). One of my favorite sections was the music timed lights in the trees. We spent about an hour and a half walking the grounds and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Would 10/10 go back!

Mesmerizing. Always evolving.My family are big fans of botanical gardens. We're always stopping to see them wherever we travel. The botanical gardens here are complex, well designed and always evolving. We go here several times a year and the holiday lights have become a family tradition.First, the holiday lights have a number of extraordinary features. The exhibit shifts every year and this year is no exception. For the last couple of years, there is more of an orderly trail through the exhibit, instead of just wandering around. This year, they have closed the section by the fireplace, but don't worry, the Christmas praying mantis is over by the base of the catwalk.People gather on the catwalk to stand among the musical streamer lights, which are mesmerizing. It's worth the price of entry just to stand out there for a while. There are lots of other great pieces, like the musical orbs on the Great lawn and the model train section.It's usually crowded, I'd recommend going at dusk when it's a little warmer and the crowds are a little smaller. Even with a reserved time, it was a bit of a line to get in and the walkways were less free to navigate. There were no last minute tickets to get in, so look to get your tickets online in advance.

We always really enjoyed coming to the Fox Theater. This time we came for the Broadway in Atlanta show Ain’t Too Proud; the Life and Times of the Temptations. The show was fantastic. The seats are a bit cramped and are not the most comfortable, but the shows the theater puts on make it worth it. The staff at the facility are always really nice and ever helpful whenever we come here. The facility looks good, and is kept clean.

We came to town to see the paw patrol tour so you can already assume that I had a child with me. Seats were great, theater was a bit chilly but we knew to plan for that! Restrooms were clean and plenty of staff to help with ALLLLLL the children! Loved this experience and will be back

I have always wanted to visit the Fox Theater and am so glad to have finally made it there! The entire approach and entrance are absolutely beautiful. I felt like there was so much that needed to be seen before we enjoyed the show that brought us there. It really takes you back in time to imagine all the greats that performed in the theater. The theater which looked like the skies surrounding Alladin's Castle. Aside from the beauty of it all, the ushers were all very helpful and kind, and seemed glad to be there. If you ever get the opportunity to visit and take a look around - do it! You will not be disappointed.

I attended the Kurtis Blow Hip Hop Nutcracker with my group of girlfriends. The Fox Theater is an absolutely beautiful venue. We sat in the balcony, and we had a terrific view of the stage. A great time was had by all!

Great venue! Went to see Jo Koi the comedian and his show was awesome. They had several concession/bars available to beat long lines. The decor was absolutely beautiful. They do have elevator access for the handicapped and this facility was sparkling clean. This theater has a rich history and you can feel it in every room. They have a wide variety of performances here. From plays, comedians and concerts. You are sure to enjoy yourself.

This was my first time here, to see Blue Man Group. I took my 4 year old son. This venue is incredible. I absolutely love the aesthetic and the show was incredible! Every part of the venue was perfection and the staff was everywhere to help and clean up and soooooo friendly. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had, and my son loved it too! Can’t wait to return for more shows.

Visited the Fox theatre for a tour of the establishment! It was a great experience learning about how the theatre was built, the struggles it had to withstand over the past 94 yrs and how it has evolved to the mesmerizing place it is today. If you are in Atlanta, this is a must visit! Allen - our tour guide did a wonderful job of making the tour feel extra special. Hoping to catch a show here sometime :)

An absolutely AMAZING venue! It’s absolutely stunning.Every seat offers an excellent view and comfortable seats, leg room and space between people (I’m short and not too wide).Bathrooms on each of the 3 levels.2 levels of snacks/drinks.Exit on each level directly to the street.Plenty of street parking even when football games are happening at the stadium nearby for as little as $8 a 5 minute walk away. Other lots are $40-100.

They were well-organized for this event. You had to show your ID, and Vax card, then go through the medal detectors, then show your ticket. It went surprisingly fast. The vintage look of the theater is amazing. And the seats were very comfortable. I had 2nd row seating.

I went to the Fox Theatre to see Frozen. The show was amazing! I had I great time. The music was great and the view was pretty good. I sat in Row G seat 104. The theatre was clean and they had booster seats for young children. You can order drinks(alcoholic and non-alcoholic), snacks, and popcorn. I purchased a 20 oz bottle of Sprite for $5. Parking is $50 at the theatre but I found parking for $20 not too far from the theatre.

It is always a pleasure to watch a musical at The Fox. The building is absolutely beautiful. I've been coming here for years, and I still notice small details that I haven't noticed previously. The shows are incredible! Customer service is always excellent. Everyone that we interacted with either over the phone or in person (box office, parking, security, will call, ushers, etc.) is always very friendly and helpful.

Lovely theatre, very charming! I saw Hairspray here recently and was amazed at the sheer talent of the dancers/singers. There is not a bad seat in the house. No real food served so popcorn was our dinner (it's tasty) and I recommend the sparkling Moscato highly. Note snacks and drinks are cards only no cash accepted. Unless you are very wealthy avoid the $50 parking right next to theatre. There is much cheaper available if you do not mind a short walk. The immediate area seemed safe to us.

They call it the Fabulous Fox for a reason! After seeing many performances here, we decided to kick off the Halloween season with a ghost tour here. The walking tour was jammed packed with history and tales of reported ghostly sighting as we were led through the nooks and crannies of this gorgeous theater. MVP goes to the ghost of Roosevelt (10/7/23.)One word of caution, avoid the Espresso Martini...it's terribly frightful.

Wonderful experience during a comedy show. Very nice staff and it was easy to navigate through, even on a really busy night. They serve drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) and popcorn. I didn’t see other foods but I also didn’t wait in line. The building was clean and they have a smoking area. The surround sound and TV screens were working well and we heard/saw the comedian very clearly. We prepaid parking and it was pretty simple to get to and from our parking space at the venue.

Saw Hamilton here this review. Have been here at least half a dozen times over 10 years. It is honestly hard to find a bad seat in the entire establishment. The scenery and decoration inside the theater as well as the concession area is top shelf and absolutely beautiful.Do you go down to the bathroom area after you enter to find concession stands that are empty with no lines!Parking is always terrible here so be prepared to pay $10-$30 for a spot depending on how close. Highly recommended for in town and out of town. The show was amazing would definitely come back.

Parking was not difficult. Used the red lot. Arrival was not a hassle. Walked easily to the front of the venue. Made our way through concessions and to our seats via an organized flow. The venue itself was very nice, and we enjoyed Hamilton!

Must go to place. The theater is amazing. Hamilton is playing here and what can I say. Amazing performance great seating. Now I recommend sitting in the middle area. Picture is from my seat which again sit in the middle when booking. I will not add anymore photos to ruin the experience. Planning the next show to see. Handicap seating is really available but the ushers and the staff of the theater are there to help. It is downtown area of Atlanta so cost on everything is much higher.

We love Myra!! We were welcomed by Marcellus as soon as we arrived, he’s super friendly and welcoming and made us feel we were no strangers. We signed up online for the 10 AM architecture tour and it was the best tour I’ve ever attended. We had a very luxury small tour group of 6, my husband and I, and another lovely family of 4. We are blessed with Myra as our tour guide, and her love for the Fox Theatre passed to us thru her enthusiastic introduction. Our tour supposed to end around 1 hour, but we could never get enough stories from Myra and she literally knows everything about the Fox Theatre. I love her “Ghost Tour” stories and didn’t get to share mine with her (I think that’s too personal and just waste everyone’s time). But I would like to add it here if she’d see it someday - I experienced once that my digital device was abruptly shut off when I was feeling something went wrong and called somebody for help. So when she talked about everything was shut off for no reason, I couldn’t relate more and believed every word she said about her experience.We love you Myra. You made us home even we were just here for the tour. I’m so glad I insisted to bring my husband here with me, I missed my chance to visit the Fox Theatre due to the pandemic in 2021, but here we are. Hopefully we’ll be able to visit again in the future and watch a show here next time. God bless beautiful people like Myra and Marcellus. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

First time at the Fox! Took the wife to see The Nutcracker and the performance was amazing! The dancers were great, the story was pretty easy to follow considering it was ballet, and the sets were absolutely beautiful. The inside of the theater is amazing and one of a kind experience. It's $50 parking at the door but it makes it easy to get out so I do recommend it even though you feel a little jipped initially 😂. Lives up to its reputation!

I had the honor of visiting the Martin Luther King Historical Park in Atlanta Georgia in January about a week before King's birthday. I would say the indoor exhibits and displays were well presented and laid out and representative of his life. The outdoor exhibits were moving as well. Admission is free. The highlights were the film, tour we signed up for to visit the house he was literally born in, seeing the neighborhood he grew up in and the awesome guide we had. I believe the church tour was temporarily closed. King is one of the very few people that I am in awe of and truly admire.

Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Park is an absolute gem for anyone seeking a profound connection to history. This park truly excels in preserving and showcasing the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.From the moment you step foot in the park, you are greeted with an atmosphere of reverence and importance. The meticulous care given to maintaining the historical integrity of this site is evident in every aspect. The park's dedication to honoring Dr. King's life and work is truly commendable.The park's exhibits are thoughtfully curated, offering a comprehensive understanding of Dr. King's impact on civil rights and social justice. The informative displays, photographs, and artifacts provide a vivid glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement.One aspect that sets this park apart is the interactive elements. Engaging multimedia installations and audio guides further enhance the visitor experience, making history come alive in a captivating manner. Walking through the park, you can't help but feel a deep appreciation for the sacrifices made and the progress achieved.The park's commitment to education is also worth noting. The staff and volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable, offering valuable insights and answering questions with enthusiasm.

With its engaging exhibits, knowledgeable staff, and serene ambiance, this park truly deserves a five-star rating. A visit here is not only informative but also a powerful reminder of the importance of equality and justice for all.

Great place to visit. We have had a hard history and I think the most emotional part for me was watching a young boy reading what we had done to people who looked like him. We have come a long way but we are not there yet!

Quiet and less crowded historical park that is just a walking distance from the busy downtown. This is a free museum and site, managed by NPS. Inside the Visitor's Center is an exhibit entitled "Courage To Lead" follows the parallel paths of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Movement. You can also visit the final resting place of Dr. King, Jr., which in itself is a beautiful memorial.

This spot is definitely worth the visit if you are in Atlanta! There are a few blocks worth of sites, including the birth home of MLK Jr, the tomb of him and his wife, the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and the Visitor Center. Although we went during regular hours, the birth home was not open; I think you may have to schedule a tour but it wasn’t clear. The Visitor Center is the best place to start, and includes an exhibit about Martin Luther King Jr’s life and his role in the American civil right movement. The tomb is across the street and is a beautiful, solemn site surrounded by a fountain and displays about the principles of non-violence that King preached.There is a large parking lot on the north side of the site.

Reverend Martin Luther King Jr memorial park and historic center. His birth home, church and resting place in Atlanta region of Georgia. This place takes you on a journey back in the history and give you an educational experience which is so beautiful and at the same time painful.A true Leader, fighter and follower of Mahatma Gandhi 🙏🏼‘We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream’PS: Entry is free and free parking available.Might need booking for his birth home tour though.

An absolutely amazing experience. Every child learns about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, but visiting the national park provides you with an up close and personal view into his life.

This is a very inspiring and emotional place. I was in tears twice. First while watching the movie. Second, looking at the carrier that carried the MLK dead body from Memphis to Atlanta.We have come so far in the journey, but so much has changed since. Every visitor to Atlanta or Georgia must have the opportunity to visit the place. Google maps takes you to the wrong place, and it may feel out of normal memorials, but it's there nearby, parking is free and not very crowded.For my little daughter it was good learning and for us a family too.

Absolutely loved this experience. I hadn't been since the exhibit was complete but am so happy to have the experience. Wonderful job Atlanta!! It would be nice if the home tours started a little earlier but this exhibit is a must see. I'd say do this over the Civil Rights Museum. At least this paints a positive picture of the happenings of the times. If we are going to tell the story...tell it right or tell it right. Those that have gone to both will understand what I mean. Thank you to this center for being beautiful. Thumbs up👍🏽!

Simply amazing.Weekend trip w/ the minions. So much to learn and absorb- I knew the man but his wife just as incredible, I’d not known just how much! ❤️❤️BHM’2024. Please visit for yourselves.

Great experience and very informative.My favorite part of the trip was visiting the church and the ranger giving the story of Martin Luther King Jr.The trip was a very positive experience however one thing I would note is that the area is not safe. So if you bring your kids just keep an eye on them and be aware.

Everyone should go here and take your kids here. To forget history is to relive it. Absolutely makes you realize the importance of Martin Luther King Jr and his courage, faith and perseverance. Left me speechless. If you think you have courage, this will make you think again.

Truly an amazing historic neighborhood that you must see if traveling to Atlanta!!! One of the greatest gems in that area!!!One of the stops if you take the Atlanta Downtown Streetcar 🚊The cost of the streetcar day pass is $3.00. Not bad!!

The museum is very informative and well maintained. There is a guided tour to the Birth Home of Martin Luther King, Jr.Everything is completely free of charge and the location is very convenient (approximately 15 minute walk from Five Points station).Highly recommend visiting the museum if you ever come to Atlanta.

Extraordinary, wonderful. A story that impacts. Some newspaper articles that evidence facts. Some words from Dr King that fill you with inspiration. A national park that you must visit and maintain.

I was surprised at the size of the MLK Jr Historic Park. The architectural design of the Visitor's Center is beautiful both inside and out. The inclusion of the neighborhood homes and fire house made this amazing journey so much more interesting. The videos, photos and audio-visual all worked together to make this an unforgettable experience.

I had a great time visiting and exploring this historic site. It was not crowded at all. Not too sure if it is wheelchair accessible. I was climbing a lot of stairs. Not many railing available. Just a heads up for those whom have a mobile disability. Highly recommended for all ages.

This historical museum is a must visit! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this museum as a MUST SEE!! Coming here and walking through each of the exhibits is eye opening. To hear the recording of the people from that time area speak about their experiences is educational. To see all of the items in this museum is amazing. Seeing the items from Rosa Park and Mahna Gandhi is amazing as well. You can spend hours here. There was some preservation being done to the waterfall, so one side of the museum was not accessible. Ebenezer Baptist Church was open to the public on a schedule. Parking is free a cross the street. Entry into the church and museum is free. I’m thankful to have visited this museum.

Tremendously insightful visit with a much deeper emotional impact than I could’ve imagined. Honored to have had glimpses into the life of MLK for my own personal education, to some extent, of his inspirations and dreams.

Very moving tribute and historical telling of the extraordinary life and impact of Dr. King in his very short life. The cascading waterfall fountain and Rosa Parks and Ghandi exhibits are also highly recommended.As great as it is I think think given the global impact of this historic figure it would be great if the US could expand this entire property (increase funding) so it is a more accurate reflection of Dr. King's contributions. There are impressive memorial sites to honor Dr. King across the US and in a few major European cities (e.g. Paris) but I think we could do better as a country and elevate this site.

Went on a weekend and it was an amazing experience. Getting to see what fire trucks were like back in the days, as well as the structure of buildings. Loved each of MLK’s important quotes being written on the wall as you walk down the waterway. I don’t remember buying tickets in advance, but it’s always good to be proactive. I gained a lot of insight and knowledge from this visit, more than some of the books told us to be honest.

So thankful we stopped here for a few hours while in Atlanta. It was well worth the time. I learned a lot about Dr. King and the Ebenezer Baptist Church. We didn't get to see his birthplace because it is being renovated, but still a lovely and educational afternoon.

So glad we stopped in to visit this site. It's a somber and informative place to learn more about the greatest civil rights leader in history and pay your respects. If you haven't visited and are interested in this topic, it's a must. Thanks to the staff for keeping it beautiful and operating well.

A very well designed public space and museum with a lot to see. We planned this as a quick stop, but ended up spending our whole morning here. We came early on a weekday morning so it was not at all crowded. I found the exhibit of the civil rights march in the attached photo particularly impactful. Very immersive with lots of careful thought put in to the whole experience of the visitor as you walk from the back to the front of the deck. I couldn’t find the name of the artists or designer but I’d love to see more of their work.

It was a fun experience. The guides were really cheerful and the tour included a wonderful 3D video and another heart touching video.There was a scent room where we could smell the scents of sweets, spices and fruits. Many coca cola artifacts were displayed very aesthetically throughout the place.The best was the unlimited tasting of different coca cola products. I think there were around 100 flavours around the world but unfortunately it was too much for me to taste on the same day.The experience was totally worth the money and I highly recommend you to visit World of Coca Cola at least once.

The World of Coca-Cola provides an intriguing, albeit somewhat overly-glossy, look at one of the world's most recognized brands. Nestled in downtown Atlanta, the museum traces the history of Coca-Cola, from its origins to its global ubiquity, making for an interesting, if somewhat commercial, experience.The museum's standout feature is undoubtedly the Taste It! Beverage Lounge, where you can sample an array of Coca-Cola products from around the globe free of charge. The experience of tasting a diverse range of flavors, familiar and foreign, adds a tangible, interactive element to the visit.That being said, the museum sometimes feels more like an extended advertisem*nt than an unbiased exploration of the brand's history. It offers a wealth of artifacts and information, but the overall narrative seems overly sanitized, with little critique or in-depth exploration of some of the brand's controversial aspects.All in all, the World of Coca-Cola provides an entertaining day out, especially for those with a sweet tooth for the iconic beverage. Just be prepared for a largely sugar-coated depiction of this global brand's history and impact.

Great place to visit for Coca Cola fans. The museum provides a great history about the company. All the old equipments and advertisem*nts displayed really takes you back in time. We loved the experience of seeing the co*ke being bottled. The best part is the co*ke drinks from around the world. You will taste the best and the worst drinks possible. My 8 year old really enjoyed the experience and she never had a sip of co*ke prior to this.

An incredible place for any Coca-Cola or soda fan. The invention, the expansion, the globalization all of it is covered exceptionally in this place. The vending machines, popular co*ke merchandise, sports and pop culture collaborations, there’s a lot to admire.Then there’s the secret vault, where century old Coca-Cola’s secret formula is securely kept.There’s the tasting bar, where you get to try 40 different popular flavors from around the world. To top it all, it’s the Gift shop, which is accessible without entering the museum. It a has all sorts of unique and magical coco-cola merchandise. Clothes, magnets, stationary, sports items, home goods, there’s so much to explore.

Very much a place to embrace your love of Coca-Cola. A lot of vintage advertising elements. The tasting room at the end of the exhibits offers many flavors of Coca-Cola products from around the world. It was very busy when we went, and the many children with lots of sugar and some caffeine in their systems was a bit much for me, personally. Parking w as already full by 11am, and I had to search for other options. I was able to find one, but it was a little frustrating having to search for available parking.When attending, be sure and purchase your tickets online, and you can enter at your entry time with just the QR Codes they send you as digital tickets.

It's kinda of a neat place. If you are a co*ke fanatic, a must. I already knew much of the history of co*ke, so revelations there. Neat to see all the ads and the old machines. It's not cheap and for a family, it's a little steep in my opinion... The tasting area was fun! All Of the flavors of the world!! That was cool!

My family and I had a fantastic time on the visit, which we had planned in advance by purchasing tickets. They've done a great job maintaining the historical data and relevant information. The best thing, though, has to be the variety of drinks available worldwide. We tried a lot, but there were too many to sample. The store that sold goodies was also really beautiful; we bought a lot of stuff for my two-year-old kid. Overall, if you're ever in Atlanta, I'd advise you to try to visit this location.

Had an Amazing experience here. From the very beginning we were guided , provided with lots of background details about the origin and its worldwide influence. The scent discovery and tasting part was a real hit. You can discover a large variety of Coca Cola flavors there. Didn’t have an idea prior to this trip that these flavors of coca cola do exist. Enjoyed every moment inside the museum. You can get a lot of souvenir options. They keep some awesome collection of lip smackers.

Fun experience. Right next to the Georgia Aquarium. A very fun walking tour. It was like a museum walking tour or the history of Coca Cola. Plenty of cool stuff to see. Vintage ad signs, vending machines, signs, and so much more. Take your time and read the walls in each exhibit, the history is really interesting. The scent room was interesting. The tasting room was fun. Trying all the different Coca Cola products from around the world was very cool. They even had Mezzo Mix, which I used to drink all the time when I lived in Germany. The gift shop was amazing, so many cool things to buy. Highly recommend if you have 2+ hours to kill in downtown Atlanta.

This was so much fun. I wasn't sure how interested I'd be in a soda museum but I was pleasantly surprised. The exhibits are engaging, the initial tour guide was really entertaining, and the whole experience was positive as a whole.I will say that they claim to be ADA accessible and friendly for disabilities but they had no functioning wheelchair ramps or elevators - what I saw was out of service or blocked off. I'm handicapped, so navigating the museum was very difficult but worth it.

Title: Disappointing Experience at World of Coca-ColaRating: ★★☆☆☆I recently visited the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia, hoping for an immersive and educational experience. However, my visit fell short of expectations due to several significant issues.Firstly, the 3D movie experience was a major letdown. Unfortunately, the 3D effects were not functioning properly during my visit, which significantly impacted the overall experience. The lack of visual depth detracted from the intended immersion, making it difficult to fully engage with the content.Furthermore, the first movie in the exhibit was also not working. This added to the disappointment, as it prevented me from fully understanding the historical context and significance of Coca-Cola. It would have been beneficial to have this foundational knowledge before delving deeper into the exhibit.Another drawback of my visit was the overwhelming crowds and lack of organization. The venue was extremely crowded, which made it challenging to navigate through the various exhibits and enjoy them at my own pace. Additionally, the lack of clear signage and directions made it even more difficult to find specific attractions or move efficiently within the facility.Considering the issues I encountered, I must say that the World of Coca-Cola did not live up to its reputation, and I found it hard to justify the price of admission. While it is undeniable that Coca-Cola has a significant impact on popular culture and history, the overall experience at the attraction fell short of my expectations. If you decide to visit, I would recommend checking the status of the 3D movie and other exhibits in advance, as well as considering the potential crowd size during your visit.

This visit was spur of the moment while visiting Atlanta. A full fun experience with the family. The video you watch before entering the exhibit, was very heartfelt. Great experience at the smelling stations and at the “Guess the smell” game. By far the best part was the tasting stations. You are able to sample sodas from all over the world, and from different countries, which was very fun experience. My favorite was the Philippines soda.I would recommend visiting, great for all ages young and seniors.

Excellent place to spend a few hours and enjoy exploring the exhibitsWe paid a little extra to have a tour guide, not an excessive cost and certainly added to the experience. Didn't have to queue up to see "The Bear" or the Vault or the cinema presentation. Got lots of additional educational information and were able to ask questions. Have free soft drinks at the start too

We enjoyed the various exhibitions and shows here on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy but not overwhelming. The history and memorabilia were really cool. The tasting at the end was neat, but my shoes are still sticky from the floor in that room 🙃 probably not much they can do about it with all those soda fountains! It probably took us about 1.5 to 2 hours to go through it. We enjoyed our visit and would recommend it, particularly if you're going to the aquarium, as it's right next door.

I couldn’t possibly visit Atlanta without checking out the World of Coca-Cola. The staff was friendly and generally cheerful which made for a great first impression. It was quite busy during my visit so I couldn’t experience all the spaces. I would recommend to allow sufficient time and to pack your patience to make the most of all the wonderful attractions. I particularly enjoyed the 3D theater and the opportunity to taste the mind blowing variety of beverages made by the company.

World of co*ke was a unique experience with the tasting portion of the museum. Heads up on the beverage lab: it says you can create your own beverage and drink it, but that’s not true. It lets you design a beverage on a screen and then tells you what co*ke product is similar to it; it’s definitely not what it is advertised to be. Other than that, the museum was great and the Georgia aquarium is in the same courtyard. You can buy a combined ticket to go to the museum, aquarium, and zoo and some other place. Expect traffic to be heavy and arrive at least two hours before the museum closes due to it being very crowded. The staff was fun and you can take a photo with the co*ke polar bear and buy it for $25. Fun place!

Good place to visit. Lot to know about coca cola but a little pricey. Couple of shows about product. Tasting room is what got me excited about. Every international flavor of its brand can be tasted here which is great. Lot of good stories on how it started and expanded.

Easy entry, but we pre purchased tickets. Got there early..parking was a breeze and close to elevator. Took our time navigating both floors, watching the shows and exhibits. Employees were helpful and courteous. Gift shop overpriced but had some decent sale items. Tasting the different flavored co*kes from other countries was my favorite!

The World of Coca-Cola is definitely one of those places that you have to visit once. It was smaller than I expected unfortunately, and there is not very much to do on the inside. Upon entering, you have to watch a very short film about Coca-Cola, and then you are allowed inside. Once inside, you can go inside the Coca-Cola vault and learn some of it's history. They also have an interactive scent room and best of all, the Coca-Cola tasting room. In the tasting room you can try different kinds of soft drinks from certain countries. You can tour the World of co*ke at your own pace or book a guided tour experience. Overall, I recommend this place if you're in town and need an activity to do to pass some time. The employees are very nice and helpful, so that's a definite plus. Tip: although not necessary, book your tickets in advance for faster entry!

It's good to see some of the interesting facts about the history of their products. Try to go afternoon/evening so there won't be much crowd and probably you could enjoy the Taste it! , a place where we can taste all of their products.As it's so close to the Aquarium and parking is common, it's better to plan together.

Tickets are cheaper by a few bucks online versus buying them at the kiosk!This is a very cool 1 & done experience. You will have a good time and some of the employees are very interactive and outgoing!We did go during summertime so it was very busy (as expected). But it was just too many people throughout. Especially in the tasting room area.Recommend if you’ve never been!

So this was a fun little stop during a work trip to Atlanta. I went by myself and walked from my hotel, and was able to attend a show within 10 minutes of buying my ticket. I spent about an hour to an hour and a half here. I enjoyed each section of the museum, as it held much more than I was expecting. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and there were probably 20 other people in my "group." It wasn't crowded at all and I had time to spend at each section.Of course the highlight of this is the tasting portion. It's very fun to try different sodas from around the world. The gift store is also huge, there's a lot of souvenirs to choose from. I enjoyed spending some of my free time here. The ticket was $21 and I found it to be worth it.

One time visit is good. It’s a must visit place if you’re visiting Atlanta. I recommend buying tickets in advance online to beat the rush (although those tickets are non-refundable) so if you can’t make it past 5pm, don’t buy tickets online. I couldn’t get refund when i got stuck in a crash slowdown. Overall nice place to hangout with family.

Pretty cool spot to see the history of Coca-Cola. You can save $1 per ticket if you purchase them ahead of time. Definitely go earlier because it will fill up pretty quickly. We were able to find street parking, but it wasn't too close. There are paid parking garages as well. When you show up they give you a little introduction and tell you that it is a self guided tour. I wouldn't say it is a self guided tour as it is more of a pick the next mini tour or activety you want to wait in line for. I definitely recommend visiting if you have never been before. The best part of the tour was the tasting room, which once you enter you can't turn back so make sure you hit all the other tours first. The gift shop was surprisingly affordable too!

We had a good time. We went in May, during the week. There were a lot of kids... there might have been a few field trips? It was cool to see the history and all of the memorabilia. Love the international aspect. Be prepared to leave with a sugar high... the tasting room is fun and where you end your tour

Definitely we had a blast. We love co*ke products so coming to this place was very entertaining. I love the mix of information, history, and interactions. You have 3d movie, but also a guided explanation about the recipe, you get to use your taste and your nose too, the scents section was very interesting to experience. Definitely my favorite part was to be able to taste flavors from around the world. Some were nice, some were pretty bad, others were quite unique. It was also great to mix my own version and then be able to taste it. My only 2 negative aspects were, on one hand, that during the vault section the guide was speaking but at the same time there were recordings on the background, so it was hard to understand because both sounds would interfere. The other aspect is the fact that I was expecting to be able to try the old-school way to serve coca cola, a place like the should have it, and I wouldn't have minded to pay extra just for that. Regardless, the price was cheap given all you can do, experience and learn, so I highly recommend this place.

We had an overall okay experience at the World of co*ke. There are a lot of cool pieces of the company’s history, which is cool to see. I wasn’t a fan of how long it takes to actually enter the exhibit area. You have to go through a ~10 minute tour to look at all these older pieces. You’re then taken into a theater to watch a 6-minute film about co*ke and happiness. Upon entering the museum, we were under the impression it would be self-guided, but the vault exhibit had a tour along with it too. The tasting section was pretty awesome, with five fountain stations containing ~8 flavors each.

A great way to learn the history of Coca-Cola. We had a 10am reservation. The area that is basically the hub for the exhibits is quite underwhelming. The theming and decor for the different exhibits were nice. I felt like we were rushed through the vault. Tasting the different drinks from around the world was fun. The staff was amazing! They were fun and energetic. This is definitely a must-see if you are in the area. A lot of memorabilia.

Amazing place to visit. This is my second time coming to visit World Coca-Cola. I would suggest purchasing tickets online it just speeds the process up. 10am actually is a great time to go. By the time we came out of the gift shop to leave, the line was so long to get in.

We enjoyed a fun time exploring all the different exhibits! The kids loved the tasting room and making their own designs. The smell lab was interesting. The staff were amazing and friendly. Bought as part of the City Pass

This is a great place to take the kids. We all really enjoyed all the memorabilia. It took me way back. The kids had so much fun tasting beverages from around the world and making their own. It was actually still very affordable too!

Beautiful place to visit. I liked the tunnel where people walk and you can see all the fish, sharks, whales and other creatures swimming next to and above you, it’s amazing!!! But if you really want to enjoy the visit to this aquarium, you must buy tickets to see the different shows they offer. Without seeing the shows, the visit won’t be worthy. They always take a picture of you right before the entrance so be ready with a nice outfit so you will look good on the photo that will become one of your best memories!!! Highly recommended!!

It was very well worth the visit! Huge! Lots to see. If you like reading the information as you tour the area, it'll take some time. We spent 5 hours here and saw all the exhibits and shows that are included in the ticket price. We also had lunch in their cafeteria style dining area, Cafe Aquaria, and did some shopping in one of the gift stores. They have hand sanitizing stations, clean bathrooms, all accessible areas, plenty of photo opportunities, and extra activities you can experience for an additional fee. You will do a lot of walking and standing, so wear comfortable shoes! It's easy to purchase tickets online. June 2023

Excellent aquarium! We went on a Sunday afternoon in the summer so it was quite crowded, but manageable! We just took our time and were able to see all the exhibits! If you want to see the shows, you have to make a (free) reservation once you get there. We opted to skip the shows to give us more time at the exhibits. Each section is very well done and you get to see so many beautiful creatures up close! Favorites were the shark exhibit, the whale shark, manta rays, sea turtle, penguins, beluga whales, otters and dolphins! My kids absolutely loved it! Food is overpriced and nothing special but we went in between lunch and dinner so we could get by with just a few snacks. Also, there is a small nursing pod for breastfeeding up on the second floor by the food that was very convenient! As with many attractions like this, you exit through the gift shop so be prepared! Overall it was an expensive day (buy tickets in advance to save$5) but worth it for the experience for our family!

I had a wonderful time visiting this aquarium. It is a well-designed and well-maintained facility with a wide variety of marine life to see. The exhibits are well-organized and easy to navigate, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.One of the things I appreciated most about this aquarium is that it is easy to get around. There is a clear central hub from which all of the exhibits radiate, making it easy to find your way back to the beginning if you get lost. The aquarium is also wheelchair accessible, which is a great plus.I also enjoyed the two main shows, the seal show and the dolphin show. Both shows were well-produced and informative, and the animals seemed to be well-cared for. I appreciated that there was also the option to make a free reservation for the shows, as this helped to ensure that everyone had a chance to see them.In addition to the exhibits and shows, the aquarium also offers behind-the-scenes experiences and educational programs. I did not have the opportunity to participate in any of these, but I was impressed by the variety of options available.Overall, I highly recommend this aquarium to anyone interested in marine life. It is a great place to learn about and appreciate the diversity of the underwater world.

The Georgia Aquarium is a breathtaking aquatic wonderland that left me in awe during my recent visit. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the sheer diversity and beauty of marine life on display.The highlight of the aquarium has to be the massive Ocean Voyager exhibit, featuring the awe-inspiring whale sharks, manta rays, and a mesmerizing array of colorful fish. The enormous viewing window allows you to feel like you're underwater with these gentle giants, making it an unforgettable experience.Aside from the Ocean Voyager, there are numerous other exhibits showcasing a wide range of aquatic species, from playful sea otters to graceful beluga whales. The interactive touch pools were a hit with visitors of all ages, offering a hands-on learning experience.What impressed me most was the aquarium's commitment to conservation and education. They provide informative presentations and exhibits that highlight the importance of protecting our oceans and the creatures that inhabit them.The only downside I encountered was the crowds, especially during weekends and holidays, which can make it challenging to move around and fully appreciate the exhibits. I recommend visiting during off-peak hours if possible to have a more relaxed experience.

This aquarium is absolutely incredible! It is so well planned out & we didn’t feel overwhelmed once. I love that everything let back to the center of the aquarium so you never got lost. The food was expensive but surprisingly the best we’ve had in Atlanta so far. The dolphin show was a great length & had some really cool spins/jumps with the trainers. Gift shop had awesome but pretty expensive stuff. We love that they had a scuba mermaid, something for our daughter too. So many cool interactive things with the animals for our kids to enjoy. Highly recommend!!

It’s expensive!! From admission to food inside. Free on your birthday dasssit!! Overall it’s a great time. This was our second time going and we always have a great time. We love the dolphin shows the aquarium is huge, exciting and beautifully built. It was accessible for my physically disabled mother. They have wheelchairs for free just give them your license. I appreciate that accommodation. Although the food is expensive it is a full eatery with tasty options. We will definitely go back. I don’t know if we would buy a yearly family membership, we may not go that often for it to be worth it. I can see why others would if they would go more than two times in a year.

Very crowded on a Friday afternoon. Make sure you book your show reservation the morning of your visit. (Purchase tickets in advance online. Even if your arrival time is later, the shows will be full if you don't.)The food in the cafe is not good. Almost inedible. My chicken sandwich had black/grey gelatinous gristle in it. The cheese pizza was burnt. Fries were soggy. On the plus side, there was a gal wiping tables and sweeping the floor-that was appreciated.Bathrooms were clean and not packed.The tanks seemed pretty small for whale sharks (two!) and upon further reading, they were not rescued. They were captured from the wild. 🥺🐬🚨 BEWARE: The splash zone (front 10 rows) of the dolphin show truly mean YOU WILL GET SOAKED. Not just splashed. It was hard to enjoy the rest of the show because we were so shocked.No security. I had a backpack and when I asked if they wanted to check it, they told me, "no, inside." When I went inside they scanned my ticket codes but no one checked my bag.Overall, it is a neat place. With a 4 & 8 year old I appreciated the brief informational blurbs at each exhibit-it felt doable without being overwhelming.Had we packed a lunch, dry clothes, and less of a crowd, it would have been a better experience. For the extreme cost, we would not likely visit again.

Will be coming back! I'm so impressed with the size of this aquarium, it was very easy to walk through, all sections set up easy to navigate. The dolphin show was great. The whale sharks were so impressive. I saw some people doing the shark dive, it looked like so much fun. Plenty of seating in the different exhibits, we sat and watched the fish and the sharks for quite a while. The gift shop had a lot of items to pick from.

Such an amazing experience! I took my four year old and my eight year old and they had so much fun! It is educational and breathtaking! We saw the dolphin show as well as the sea lion show. I highly recommend going during the weekday if you can and definitely get there early. Very friendly staff and clean restrooms and private nursing areas for breastfeeding mothers.

The museum experience was great. It was crowded but the entering the aquarium didn’t take long. The place is large and divided in sections which you can visit based on your preference. Their dolphin show was great. If you want to sit in the splash section you need to plan ahead. You can easily spend half a day here. I would recommend this for families with kids who enjoy seeing sea life. The jelly fish were beautiful and the sharks were amazing.

I love the Aquarium! I have visited several times and enjoyed each time. It’s amazing and educational. It is great for kids or even a fun date. If visiting on a holiday be there early. The dolphin show is awesome but fills up quickly. Get your tickets as soon as you get in. The handicap chairs are first come first serve. It’s in a great area and there is tons of places to eat around the aquarium.

We had a great day at the aquarium. It was very clean, decorated for the holidays, and there was a lot to see. The dolphin show was amazing. The sea lion show could have been better. There is only a virtual map but it’s easy to flow from one location to another. Our stroller was a jogging stroller but it fit within their box so it was allowed inside. Check your stroller against their guidelines. You have to reserve a time for the shows, but I was able to sign up for a different time later in order to move our slot up. We got there before 9 and left around 11:30. Very clean tanks and lots of viewing areas. We went on a Saturday and it started to get very crowded as the day went on. Recommended to get there at open. The plaza outside had a nice holiday set up from the Coca-Cola brand.

Went over a holiday weekend and it was super crowded. I'd love to go again when there are less people. The Cafe was very good, we got the bowl and salad and fries. They were all delicious and even though there was a large crowd, our food came out quickly.

The best aquarium we have been to in the United States! Not your typical aquarium at all. Big fish and sharks and rays. Lots to see and shows that are included. Get there about 30 minutes early for shows to get a good seat. Dolphin show is better than the seal on for sure, but both are included, just make a reservation.

We had an absolutely amazing time when we visited last month, if this is on your itinerary at least budget 4 hours to fully enjoy all the exhibits, activities, and shows the aquarium has to offer. Definitely highly recommend coming as close as you can to opening so you can enjoy the mostly empty aquarium. The staff are all so informative and love to chat. When we come back we are looking forward to a behind the scenes tour.

It's a great aquarium but some exhibits were empty and I didn't get to experience the 'extras' 3D and dolphin shows specifically. They do have cool pop-in holes where you can take pictures and it looks like your in there with the animals. The location is great! It's across the street from Olympic Park and walking distance to several other must see attractions. There is food available inside and they take a pic of you entering and you can buy it if you'd like. Great for the kids and couples!!!

What an amazing experience. I came from Florida to go to this aquarium. They have beautiful exhibits and the animals who look happy and are swimming without a worry. I recommend eating before or bringing food because the food is very average especially for the $. The main attraction is the whale shark and I could sit and watch that exhibit for an hour. I highly recommend signing up for the shows they have going on (dolphin and sea lion). 100% worth it. We spent about 5-6 hours in the aquarium. They take a picture at the entrance which they put a backdrop on it and a live background. If you’re hesitant on going, there’s so much to see. I will definitely be back when I’m in Georgia.

First time visiting. Had a wonderful time. From the check-in to leaving the staff made, my family and I feel very welcomed. They were professional and helpful. I enjoyed learning more about fish. The only downfall was that I didn't see turtles, we couldn't take pictures behind the whale jaw, and the dolphin show was short. Great place for the entire family!

Enjoying going to the aquarium. It's nice and clean. The crowd was pretty intense. Please be patient and don't rush. I promise you will get into the show that you made reservations for. It felt as if I was going to be trampled going into the dolphin show. Other than that it was spectacular. The outside grounds were very clean as well. Just slow down and enjoy the Aquarium!!!!!

Superb experience, spent nearly 4hrs here, we thought we would go for maybe a couple of hours but time went so quick. Just fascinating to sees many different species through the many huge viewing tanks. Sealion and Dolphin show were great too. Didn't use the canteen but food was available here if you need a break and a sit down. Gift shop have good variety of gifts, difficult not to leave with at least one cuddly toy

Always wonderful! Worth every penny! Best aquarium I have ever seen in the US. Go and take the kids and plan to stay for 3-4 hours at least. Definitely buy tickets a day or two in advance or even several more if it’s a holiday weekend. It’s timed entry. Can be busy and hard to get in if you wait to last minute on a weekend.

This aquarium was a great experience. I came here on a Tuesday morning . It was not crowded at all . I do recommend buying tickets in advance . I got a discount through my job . If you are active or retired military personnel you are eligible for a discount as well. The aquarium is broken up into different sections . It took around 2-3 hours to cover the whole aquarium. They are shows as well other interaction things to do here .The staff were very knowledgeable which I loved and the facility is kept is great condition. I truly had a great time .

Flew here for a day trip date ✈️ from MD.Best aquarium I've ever been to, it's a must visit location! I highly recommend! I will definitely be visiting again. There is no way to describe how truly incredible it is to be face to face with whale sharks and belugas. They also have a Tiger shark! Amazing experience!

This is an experience you absolutely need to have! There is so much to see, you will spend hours here. Very organized and easy to navigate though the aquarium and the different types of sea life. Had the opportunity to watch a Sea Lion show and a Dolphin show all in one day! Concession was well organized and easy to navigate even in large crowds. Would highly suggest getting there early to experience great views of aqua life as the aquarium definitely picks up spectators as the day goes on.

This was our first time visiting and I am so glad we made the trip. This aquarium has the best layout. We visited on Easter Sunday and it was very busy, but there is so much to see and several viewing areas for the same exhibit. I wish we would've had more time to spend there, but I guess that means I'll have to go back. I highly recommend the dolphin show.

My recent visit to the Georgia Aquarium left much to be desired, warranting a three-star rating. While the facility boasts an impressive array of marine life, including some rare species, the overall experience was dampened by several factors.First and foremost, the check-in process was marred by the rude and unwelcoming behavior of the staff. Instead of offering a warm greeting, some check-in personnel were observed screaming at guests, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere right from the start. Such behavior is entirely unacceptable and detracts significantly from the overall visitor experience.Furthermore, despite the aquarium's reputation, the actual exhibits felt rather average. While there were certainly some highlights, including a variety of marine life and educational displays, there simply weren't enough fish to captivate visitors for an extended period. This lack of diversity and quantity in the exhibits left something to be desired, especially considering the high expectations associated with a renowned aquarium like Georgia's.However, the one shining aspect of my visit was the dolphin show. The spectacular performance by these intelligent creatures managed to salvage an otherwise lackluster experience. The show provided an engaging and entertaining display of their agility and intelligence, leaving a lasting impression on visitors.In summary, while the Georgia Aquarium offers glimpses of the wonders of the underwater world, its potential is undermined by the discourteous behavior of some staff members and the underwhelming variety of marine life on display. Visitors may find it worthwhile to explore other aquariums in the area for a more fulfilling experience, though the dolphin show remains a highlight not to be missed.

Great experiences! Sign up for shows at arrival. We started first thing and that was too busy with all the field trips. Ended up coming back later in the afternoon, which was much better. The shows were informative and fun. We could have watched the tanks all the day. We bought the tickets in advance as part of the city pass.

This was by far the best aquarium I’ve ever been to! We had a blast. Well worth the price!We spent 5 hours completing the Aquarium and watching the shows that were included.The theater is actually the animals preforming not a tv screen. Highly recommend especially if you have kids! They will be busy for hours.

It's a lovely place full of history, each step you dive is a pass into past Olympics games. The place is very green surrounded of between buildings, gardens, and concrete. It's a perfect balance.

I haven’t visited Centennial Olympic Park in some years and since the hotel we were staying at was within walking distance, we decided to go for a stroll. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays, very family and dog-friendly. There were some “characters” around but it’s Atlanta.

We went in late February! The weather was cool so there weren't many people around! We walked from Georgia Aquarium! It's a great place for walking, taking pictures, and potentially picnics! I will return again!!!

This park is a worth visit if you are on a trip to Georgia aquarium or the co*ke factory. It lies just beside them within walking distance. Parking is a bit difficult since it is in downtown and no street parking is available most of the times. The entry is free of cost for the park. There are plenty of paid parking places around the park from $10-$20.

This is such a relaxing fun environment in the middle of downtown Atlanta! When the weather is beautiful you can spend hours playing in the open. The Olympic rings are a great photo op! When we went the water springs were not functional. But those are great entertainment for children! Lots of great restaurants within walking distance of the Centennial Olympic Park.

The Centennial Park is free and it's location is in the heart of Downtown, Atlanta! There are great places nearby, so you will not be bored. It's a huge park where you can hang out with friends & family. We went to Atlanta at December so the weather is really nice! I like the coldness while walking! The park is also a good place to exercise. A lot of people are doing it in the area.We also enjoyed the view, the establishments nearby and the buildings!!! This is free so I recommend you stopping by if you plan to visit Atlanta, GA!

A beautiful experience for tourists and locals alike. I dislike that the park is shut down for events most weekends. But it is a joy to walk during the week. It is a great event space to enjoy the skyline. I enjoyed one of the best concerts ever with Outkast once upon My Weekend in Atlanta.

This is one of the free places to visit for free in Atlanta. Centennial Park is in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, very close to the Mercedes stadium that hosted the Atlanta 1996 Olympics. It is a vast park for walking around and relaxing with fresh air...It's an excellent place to enjoy the view, take pictures, and have an amazing time reminiscent of the memories of Atlanta '96.I recommend you stop by if you plan visiting Atlanta, GA!

Had a chance to visit Atlanta in Sept. The weather is abt the same in Singapore, good public transport connectivity between airport and downtown. The place reminds me of Sydney with high rise buildings and a good mix of American/Asia/Japan/Spanish food. Not much sight-seeing but a good place for family as they have nice parks and beautiful houses.

Not a whole lot to do here. A lot of open space. It was safe walking around at night and taking pictures. Park was clean. Locals were friendly. Free admission.

Nice space in a busy city. Visit the park and just walk, sit or bring the kids to play.It’s been a minute since the 1996 Olympics and this area was abuzz with international voices and the spirit of the world coming together for the best in athletic competition. That is of course when someone tried to darken the event but alas the human spirit and the City of Atlanta showed perseverance. Visiting the park conjures up history for me and the victory of a metropolis that continues on, adapting and showing resilience. Enough of history. Visit this park and enjoy the fountain and maybe take in the nearby attractions.

First time visiting Centennial Olympic Park we were very excited to visit such a Iconic Historical park. The park is public, well maintained its big there's plenty of seating areas, great for families and friends. It's located in Downtown Atlanta and surrounded by amazing Buildings and famous placec in Atlanta such as SkyView Atlanta, CNN Center, the College Football Hall of Fame,World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium, and Children’s Museum of Atlanta. We enjoyed our time there took beautiful pictures, I definitely recommend it.

This is the park that was made to mark the 1996 Olympics held in Atlanta. It is a huge park with lots of free space to walk and relax. There are many fountains and playground spaces here. The park has many monuments to commemorate the Olympics. There are a lot of statues too. The tiles have the names of the Olympics participants to honor them. One can spend a good weekend with family here and enjoy the greenery around.

Centennial park such a beautiful park with so much amusem*nt around it you have to Coca-Cola do you have the civil rights you have the Georgia aquarium and you had the history of the Olympics when it came to Georgia it’s just a beautiful place to the family to look at history, you can See all the contributors names written on bricks. You can see the fountain the greenery the fountains. It’s a beautiful place. You can even have a picnic there if you want it to you or just walk and hold hands with your significant other arches. Enjoy the park with the kids or just a great walk alone. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy if you’re in the Atlanta area absolutely beautiful.

Centennial Olympic Park is located in the Midtown area of Atlanta.The park is very beautiful and clean, and popular to locals and tourists.It’s free for all visitors.Took rest and enjoyed its ambience!

Very nice park in downtown Atlanta. Great place to go for walks, and you get to admire the beautiful skyline of Atlanta from within the park. Very beautiful and clean park and lots of water fountains, too, so you don't have to worry about getting dehydrated while you're out there in the heat. Everything is just walking distance too from within the park since you're in downtown.

It's a nice place to visit on your way to the aquarium or Coca-Cola world.Definitely a piece of history.Kids will have fun with the playground and splash zone.Great views on the surrounding downtown.However not much of the shade available to hide from the scorching sun

The kids enjoyed running around this park. There are multiple playgrounds and another park with aquarium and co*ke tours just across the street. A lot of places to takes cool photos and view downtown Atlanta. The skywheel is also right next to the park. Definitely a nice place to walk around In downtown and spend time.

I visited Centennial Olympic Park during the Christmas holiday. It's a very walkable park with a nice balance of open-air and wooded spaces. I recommend visiting the entire park if you can as it's something that can be completed in an hour or so. There are plenty of nearby attractions such as the Georgia Aquarium and the Coca Cola Museum.

Centennial Olympic Park commemorates hosting of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Serving as both a commemorative site and a hub for community engagement, the park offers a green space connecting the bustling city on all sides. There are numerous statues and fountains scattered throughout the park.The park started a trend for a remarkable wave of economic revitalization in downtown Atlanta, spawning numerous restaurants, hotels, and retail establishments in its vicinity.

A great place to chill, read, or enjoy the company of others doing the same. Lots to do and see here, and the environment is clean and well maintained. The park centralizes access to the Georgia Aquarium, College Football Hall of Fame, Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the World of Coca-Cola. A great SkyView ferris wheel provides breathtaking views of the city. Do nothing or everything in this amazing city center.

The center that holds the downtown Atlanta attractions. So huge and so much to see. The fountains spreading all around of it are truly amazing. Looks coll both at daytime nd at evening.

Excellent park for walking! Lots of space! Great photo opportunities! Loved the water fountain and Olympic rings! Many different types of restaurants nearby. We enjoyed the ferris wheel. There is a large map right next to the ferris wheel with all food and attraction options located across the entrance to Olympic Centennial Park.

this history here is uncanny! i took a solo trip at Xmas time and this easily became one of the BEST memories of my entire life!! I love Centennial Olympic Park and every little beautiful thing about it!!

We went on a weekend and it was not at all crowded. We spent more than 3 hours there and it was so much fun. Found new species. Was damn excited to see the lions but they were just sleeping the whole time. Even the tiger was missing. Overall, we had a great day at the zoo.

Had a Great time here they have lots of animals and everything is spaced out well so your not bumping in to all the people I went on a Sunday and it was only mildly busy at around noon. They have shows as well talking about the animals and lots of reading material near each animal. They have a cafe in the middle with refreshments and food, kid zone near the end and gift shop as well. Pay for the Daily parking as you can only do max of 3 hours for hourly.

This is a great zoo. Not overly large which makes it better for families with little kids still finding their legs. Most of the area's were shaded well to keep from getting too hot. The exhibits looked well Maintained and the animals seemed healthy and taken care of. Food options were just OK. Go early to find close parking.

WOW! We had so much fun at there! We spent most of our time in the reptile area because it was cold outside and most of the animals were in indoor habitats where we couldn’t see them. They have an amazing collection of snakes and other beautiful reptiles. A whole day should be dedicated to that area. It’s a very family friendly place and the annual membership is worth it if you’re coming with family. Can’t wait to come here again! I attached some of my best shots below!

I can't rate for how this zoo ranks compared to other zoos. This was the first time I'd been to one since I was a wee lad. But, I wasn't impressed. If you want to go to a zoo, because you've never been, or because you really like zoos, or like in my case your daughter has never been to a zoo and wants to go, I guess this zoo is as good as any other. Maybe I'm being a little harsh. I had a good time, but that's because I was with my wife and daughter, and we always have a good time together, but the zoo itself was blah. For the price, and how big the place is I feel that there should be more to do. Not even sure what that would look like and no suggestions for what those things to do would be, but it just felt like a nice walk. "Oh look, the elephant." It doesn't take long to look at an elephant. It's cool. But really, how long do you need before you say, "Yup. I have now seen an elephant in person," and move on to the next animal? That's the zoo. And it really felt like there wasn't enough to see for the price of admission. Maybe I'm just not a zoo person.

What a great zoo and definitely an elephant encounter made it even more special. The zoo has the rare Giant Panda, red panda and even has lions. We did the elephant encounter and what an experience. The zookeepers are extremely knowledgeable and you can see their love of these mammals. The zoo has a zoo explorer club for kids that we didn't do because we were focused on our first time seeing all the animals first. Next time, I would entertain that for my kids. They have an amazing treetop zine and ropes course for little tots and bigger kids. Definitely worth the money. Great adult options around the zoo, never made time for eating as we had lunch prior to entering amd dinner afterward. Very pleased with this zoo overall.

Such an incredible zoo!!! The zoo is laid out very well so it is easy to navigate to ensure you see all the exhibits. Lots of kid friendly areas for when the little ones need a break. The exhibits are spacious with multiple ares to view the larger animals. Plenty of staff to help answer any questions or point you in the right directions. Lots of food options for when you need a break. And the pandas are a must see as it is only 1 of 3 zoos in the US where you can see them!!! Definitely a must do!!!

Enjoyed my visit at the zoo. A lot the animals were hiding to stay warm . They have decent food options . I haven’t been to the zoo in about 3 years . They have added a virtual reality ride . It was fairly decent. It lasts about 5 minutes . It was fairly packed being it was Saturday afternoon . All in all … it’s a place to take the kids when you need a day out . Buy tickets online as well to save time

Great zoo experience for kids and adults. A few species of animal we hadn't seen in other zoos. If you're fortunate enough to visit Thanksgiving through Christmas, I highly recommend the evening light presentations. We went both during the day to see the animals and returned at night for the lights, which were just spectacular!

Huge zoo, very clean and well maintained. Lots of sections separating different types and regions of animals and species. Most animals were active and playful when we visited. Plenty of restrooms in every corner of the zoo.There’s a wonderful children section in the zoo. There’s petting animal, carousels, train ride, playground and tree climbing. Carousel and train require separate ticket, $3 per person.It takes about 2-3 hours to fully explore the zoo. There’s a cafe and bunch of small vendors around the zoo. The gift shop is pretty nice, got lots of zoo specific merchandise.

The Atlanta zoo is not the same when you go in the winter vs summer time. Be aware of that before arriving. My wife and I still enjoyed our time but the vast majority of the animals can't be seen due to the climate. We wanted to come before we missed the opportunity to see the pandas leave Georgia.

Best zoo! You can tell they care about their animals. Loved the red panda and giant pandas! The lizards house was also amazing! The girl running the carousel was great! My daughter was big enough to ride alone, but freaked out when they started moving and she hopped on and stayed with her calming her down and making her comfortable enough that we came back for many more goes on the ride. Will definitely be back!

This is a very good zoo. The pathways could have better direction signs, but the displays are, for the most part, designed to make animals visible. The educational signs are easily accessed. A really good variety of animals. The children's petting zoo could be enhanced with more staff and more animals. Well worth a few hours of your time.

We had a wonderful time at Zoo Atlanta. As a family of 5 it took us about 5 hours to see everything. Everyone was very nice and polite. Our kids loved every minute of it. Very easy to navigate around. Great petting zoo section that's free entry. They have a playground and a carousel for everyone to ride. You can buy tickets and take a ride on the train. There is a tree top playground. Tons of animals, reptiles, and more to see and also learn about. Definitely recommend coming and seeing what all Zoo Atlanta has to offer if you haven't been before. Great experience and will be back.

This is an awesome zoo! For being in the middle of the city, it felt like it was pretty secluded. Parking was easy with the Park Mobile app. We didn’t have lines to get in, and had bought our tickets online so that process was a breeze. They give free tickets to veterans! The elephants were our favorites, but there are tons of great animals to see. Zoo Atlanta is a well laid out, clean zoo. If you’re looking for a family-friendly activity in Atlanta- going here and the Aquarium will be well worth your time!

Great zoo with different species. Most of them were inside due to weather drop, they are setting up the zoo for Xmas lights, also they are arranging stuff to view animals in a closed setup with temperature controlled rooms. We had a good experience, The weekend is recommended for the crowd, if you want to see the animals in peace choose the weekday.

Really nice zoo and good for kids. We went in winter on a cold day so not all the animals were in their normal habitat exhibits but we're instead in their houses. Still really cool though. Saw a few animals I've never seen before. Definitely go before the pandas leave at the end of '24!

We regularly visit zoos of a higher caliber (education and animal welfare focused) when we travel. This zoo was a favorite for us.-Parking was close to the entrance & uses the park mobile app ($12 for the day) or pay at the kiosk-Employees/ volunteers were very friendly and helpful-Food was higher priced (as expected) but very good quality and flavor. Health inspection stickers around the zoo restaurants/kiosks all had scores of at least 96.- There was a wide variety of animals (from naked mole rats to African elephants)- many of the exhibits had multiple viewing spaces but were still 50% enclosed (good for us and the animals!)- Each exhibit had a small plaque that told a little about each animal (an interesting fact + their eating habit/ habitat/ where they're found in wild + level of endangerment & causes). This was perfect for my little who only wants small bites of info. My older and I both wanted more, but we only got that at a handful of exhibits; it was a lost/ limited learning opportunity.-A few of the exhibits have QR codes that link back to video presentations from the zoo's animal experts. We loved this feature and I hope they expand this to many more animals.- They listed animal talks and feeding times on their website, which made it easy to incorporate them into our day. Because of this, we got to watch some gorilla training first hand.
