The most honest plantation tour I have ever had the experience of being part of. Truth, love and honesty are my takeaways from Yancy’s tour. Thank you for making me experience worth every single penny.

Hopsewee Plantation is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, architecture, or Southern culture. The blend of historical narrative, natural beauty, and warm hospitality makes it a standout spot. Whether you’re a local or a visitor , a trip to Hopsewee offers a memorable and meaningful window into the past. We took the morning tour and had a wonderful and informative time with the docent. The woodwork detail in the house is amazing! So much history here. The house was well situated. I didn't know there was such a nice bluff situated on the North Santee River. We toured the museum to see the artifacts. Lunch at the Cottage was intimate and very delicious! We're certainly retuning soon! The Tea Room evoked many good memories of southern Tea Rooms elsewhere.

A charming tea room with an amazing menu. My husband had the mint lemonade. He stated it was too sweet. We had the Southern sample dish. Ample servings of Pirleau, macaroni and cheese, collard greens and pulled pork. We also had a cup of the GinGin soup. We were not impressed with the soup since we feel it was too bland. Service staff was grand. Historical tour was one of the best we have experienced. We learned so much! The docent's compassionate explanation of slavery was outstanding. Yancy McLeod is the historian. The museum was well worth the additional fee.

With family visiting from Oklahoma and Georgia, I had to share the magic of Hopsewee! It did not disappoint! My 9 year old granddaughter was mesmerized by docent, Linda. She tailored the history of Hopsewee to her understanding and my granddaughter was so intrigued with the legacy of Thomas Lynch! Deb welcomed us with such wonderful hospitality and attentively addressed our every wished as we dined on the exquisite cuisine ! Hopsewee is a must in time travel!

Beautiful property. People portraying life from colonial era, very interactive. Neat museum and house tours!

My friend and I had a great time. We spent an afternoon enjoying the Tea Service at Hopsewee Plantation. This experience included our choice of flavorful brewed hot teas along with scones, sandwiches, and other tasty treats. Everything was plentiful and delicious. The staff provided exceptional customer service. A true bonus was the beautiful setting overlooking the Santee River.

My husband and I have been visiting Hopswee for many years and still look forward to returning when in the area. The tea room is charming and food good, very southern. Great staff and friendly. The ambiance is wonderful and soothing where your made to feel at home. The house tour is a must if you have any interest in history and older homes. And definitely go through the museum , which contains many diaromas of life in the 1800s. Instead of denying how the plantation worked in the 1800s, the Beatties have embraced the past with careful archeological studies to acknowledge those who worked and lived on the property. Very educational . Hopsewee Plantation is full of history where visitors are welcomed with southern hospitality .

I remember going here as a kid and it is still as pristine and enchanting today. The only down side is that society as a whole doesn't appreciate the simpler and cheesy nature of life 20 years ago. Too bad because there is still so much fun and memories to be hard here. The buildings and restrooms were to notch in appearance and cleanliness. We'll worth taking the time to take selfies with the many quirky statues and props. Go here to make a few memories with your family and remember the nostalgia.

Not a 5 star place but my room was huge, very clean and a comfy bed. The village is a fantastic little tourist trap. Had a great breakfast at the place next to the gift shop and a really good steak under the sombrero... you should spend a day here just to say you did it, tell your kids Disney world was closed and that was the #2 option

Kids loved it. I definitely enjoyed buying things. All different types of things. The cleanliness, the feeling the experience brings and the level of enjoying South Carolina.

A Stay to Remember… for All the Wrong Reasons 1. Wi-Fi in the room? Nope. I got so pruney sitting by the pool just trying to check my emails. 2. Hours of operation: We know it’s off-season, but shutting down almost everything at 7 p.m.? Meanwhile, fireworks are 24/7? Make it make sense. 3. Amenities: The shampoo provided was enough to wash exactly one butt cheek. 4. Toilet paper: Felt like sandpaper on my poor behind. Please invest in Charmin Extra Strong—your guests will thank you. 5. The TV situation: Pretty sure I needed a telescope. Was that a 26-inch screen? Walmart has 40-inch models on sale. Just saying. 6. The bed: I didn’t realize I’d booked a stay with the Flintstones. The bed was harder than a slab of granite. 7. Check-in: The new front desk staff couldn’t find my reservation. After digging through my junk email they finally located it. We got a parking pass but no directions, so we looped around like idiots. #TrainingNeeded 8. Gift shop: Decent, but please restock your light-up keychains. Out of N’s, R’s, and L’s! 9. Cultural note: Not a single Mexican in sight. Was hoping to see at least one of my fellow people. #Latino #MiRaza 10. Activities: No mini-golf? Missed opportunity. 11. Room privacy: The blinds didn’t close all the way. Had I not changed in the bathroom, my “hot bod” could’ve been a free show. 12. Phone book nostalgia: Found a Yellow Pages from 2013. Fun trip down memory lane, but maybe update it? Half those numbers probably belong to ghosts now. 13. Coffee tragedy: The Folgers machine nearly scalded me. Then the powdered creamer looked suspiciously like crushed Tums tablets. Might want to check those expiration dates. --- Final thoughts: Between the Flintstone mattress, the single-cheek shampoo, and the Tums creamer, this stay was one for the books. Would I come back? Only if the Wi-Fi reaches the room and the toilet paper stops waging war on my butt.

I had a pool pass. The place was empty. I had a lovely swim for at least 20 min. The water was refreshing, not overly warm. The place could use some cleaning/painting. It felt like an abandoned gem. The geodesic dome is really nice from the water

Really enjoyed my stay. Room was HUGE. It's very quiet .it's old school and cozy. This is where I like to stay , instead of modern boring hotels that are popping up everywhere . Parking is very convenient . Friendly staff. Clean, beds and sheets are so comfortable . The room is spacious and at a great price.

Had a great time and haven't been there since the 70s. The rooms are dated but it was great overall just because it brought back memories as it child going on vacation and staying there with my family. It would be nice to say all of the rooms updated like some of them had been renovated but the ones we were in if there was any renovation done it was very minimal. Thank you for the wonderful stay and the wonderful memories but I had staying there with my sister and I traveling to Florida.

Hiked a few trails here and it was beautiful!! Nicely maintained even on the more difficult trails. They're currently working on half of the board walk so it was closed but the side that has been refinished is wonderful!

My first national park visit in the US! Lovely place! Private kayaking available which gives you the true experience of the place. Loved every bit of it! Whether you are looking for a casual stroll, or looking for a long hike, this place has it all. Truly blissful experience deep into nature. Highly recommend visiting here during spring and enjoy kayaking!

This was my first visit to Congaree National Park, and it will certainly not be my last. I chose to walk the Boardwalk Trail, which was absolutely stunning from start to finish. The midway point offered serene, picturesque views of Weston Lake—one of the highlights of the entire experience. What I appreciated most was how peaceful the park felt. Even with a few other hikers along the way, everyone seemed equally captivated by the beauty of late autumn, soaking in the final glimpses of fall foliage. The atmosphere was calm, safe, and incredibly grounding. For anyone planning a visit, I highly recommend bringing water, wearing comfortable shoes, and—if you’re hiking solo—bringing AirPods. Olivia Dean serenaded me the entire way, and it was truly easy to fall in love with Congaree. Even the fallen trees scattered throughout the quiet forest added a touch of charm to the experience. A beautiful, memorable adventure. Highly recommended. 🌿✨

It is a large National Park. Not a park I was familiar with until we went to South Carolina. The Park Service has done a wonderful job with the boardwalk. We went on the path that was over a mile long. We saw some wildlife. We saw a millipede that is pictured. We saw a couple of turtles in the swampy area. A naturalist working there pointed out an owl, alligator, ibis and a couple of alligator gar. Everything but the owl, turtles and skink were at the end area that is an observation deck. It was well worth our time and they also had a nice visitors center you must check out.

Not as flashy as other national parks but still pretty cool. We got to see lots of cool trees and I liked the self guided tour on the boardwalk. I highly recommend going in the fall when it's not too hot and there weren't any bugs.

Great national park and one of the most unique I have visited. The boardwalk loop was very nice, even though part of it was closed. Plenty of wildlife and plants to see including the bald cypress. Mosquitos were fine, but the horseflies were a bit annoying. The visitor center was nice and the rangers were helpful. 5 stars :)

While not the most majestic national park, Congaree was a magical and unique park to visit! Walking the boardwalk was very peaceful and you can almost full a unique energy to the park. It was definitely worth visiting! Unfortunately I did not see too much wild life but hope to come back one day and explore more the park. And maybe explore more of it when it is more wet! I went in early July and thankfully the mosquitoes were actually not bad at all so it can definitely be a hit or miss in terms of how many mosquitoes you run into!

We bought tickets online ahead of time and they were slightly cheaper and you paid for parking right then too. The park was great, we went for my son's first birthday and just walked around and enjoyed everything!! I used to go there as a kid so I wanted to take him there as well. We drove from Savannah, GA! Would definitely recommend for a family trip. Great place, looks clean, nice staff, easy pathways, animals look well taken care of. Fun all around!!

We were visiting from out of town and looking for something to do and what a pleasant surprise we loved the zoo and gardens! There's lots of animals to see, some we hadn't seen in any zoos back home. Then you can take their new sky tram (included in ticket) to visit the garden side. I'm not a huge fan of plants so I didn't have high expectations, but that side was excellent as well! Right now they have Lego sculptures on display which is fun. Lots of paths to explore and a huge kid area with water features (seasonal) and other fun things. If I were local I would definitely buy a membership.

I can’t believe this place is only an hour and a half from my house—how have I never been here before? I was absolutely blown away from top to bottom. The entire zoo is incredibly elaborate, and you get to see every type of animal, bird, reptile, and fish you can imagine. It was truly unbelievable. I saw stuff i never saw before and I am a zoo addict. The closeness to animals was amazing. Every animal looked happy and well cared for, and the enclosures were spotless. The price was very reasonable, and the staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. I’m still shocked by how many different animals you can see here. Five stars doesn’t even come close to doing it justice. If you’ve never been, you need to go. I visited at a time when there was almost no one there, but I’ve heard it can get busy, and annoying —so definitely try to pick your timing. Either way, it’s worth every minute and penny. Im coming back this week with my little brother sponsor.

Always love a trip to the Zoo with the family. This time we headed to the botanical gardens. Did not disappoint. Amazing staff, lots to see and the air ride over the lake was great amd saved us a walk between the Zoo and botanical gardens. Will definitely return in the spring.

Went on a fairly busy day, but were able to move through everything in about 3.5 hrs with two young kids. Loved this zoo. Its not too big and provides a lot of shade on the paths and theres a good mix of indoor/outdoor exhibits, so going in summer won't be horrible. Theres a lot of events for kids like animal feeding, obstacle courses, carousel, and lots of food/bathroom stations scattered around. For 2 adults and 2 kids, it was over $100 to get in, but that didnt include the extra costs for animal feeding and extra events.

We’ve been here twice already, and we really love this place! Everything is compact, so you don’t have to walk too much. There are so many animals, all of them are adorable. Sometimes you can even see the feeding time, usually around noon. The area is clean and well-kept. I love animals, so I try to come here as often as I can.

The animals at Riverbanks Zoo are well cared for and very well fed. The zoo is small enough to walk in an afternoon but has so many animals and things to see that you could easily spend the entire day! Definitely get the upgraded family membership. Feeding the animals over and over was a must when we went.

Several times a year we visit the serenity here. Spring is our favorite. Everyone enjoys the music and lights at Christmas, everyone loves the colors of Fall, but the magic of Spring and all of the turtles, the flowers, the Koi pond and the crisp newness of the promise of our new year, this is my absolute favorite. You can walk the paths, sit on the benches, bird watch fish watch or swing on the swings up on the hill or walk your dog or have a small picnic. The most relaxing place in aiken sc !

Great place to take photos and create memories by feeding fish or visiting the historic parts.

Absolutely amazing. Very scenic and excellent layout. There is an abundance of wildlife. Very peaceful

How fun to find a botanical garden in the middle of Aiken. Enjoyed a picnic lunch there. There's also a horse racing museum there, but wasn't open on the Wednesday we were there.

Beautiful place to walk in nature and among the trees! And see one of the horses.

Very beautiful and peaceful place to take a walk and view history of Aiken. You can bring your dog too. I will go back when the flowers are in bloom. We saw giant coy fish, turtles, big bullfrog and many butterflies and birds. Such a special place for Aiken to have and share for free with visitors.

Had a good walk with family members. The labyrinth is a nice feature.

Beautiful and peaceful! Nice breeze even though it was hot out and a nice place to relax! It had bathrooms but no toilet paper.

Stayed the night on one of their houseboats. So peaceful! Quiet place with beautiful view. Wish I'd booked a 2nd night!

I have been coming here since I was a kid and when I had kids I took them as well so excited to have a grand baby on the way and then I can take her. I even spreader my husband's ashes here years ago. So many great memories.

DEFINITELY add the marina to your itinerary when you visit Augusta. The riverwalk is great, you can rent kayaks, and the river is so soothing to just sit and watch. They also have a pedestrian bridge opening soon that you can walk across the Savannah River on and enjoy food vendors, etc. I’ll definitely visit it when it opens to the public.

We discovered this place recently and have been back 3 times since. It's very peaceful and the people who stay there are so friendly. We love taking a quiet stroll along the marina.

The boys love the playground. Nice long track by the river. Plus places to sit and relax. We have even went fishing in the savannah. Get your boat and go to the dock.

We stayed on a House boat being rented out as an AirBnB. The river walk is nice it is near the downtown area, with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Visiting the State Botanical Garden of Georgia during Christmas was honestly such a peaceful and magical experience. The lights throughout the garden added this soft, warm glow that made everything feel a little extra special—like a quiet winter wonderland tucked into Athens. It wasn’t overly crowded, which made it easy to stroll through the paths, take in all the decorated trees and glowing displays, and just enjoy the calm. If you love holiday vibes but want something more serene than chaotic, this place is such a sweet spot. Plus, the lights reflecting off the plants and walkways made for some really pretty photos without even trying. A cozy, festive little escape that felt equal parts relaxing and joyful.

This past weekend I was visiting my alma mater, The University of Georgia. I got my master's there in 1999 and haven't really been back since. My first daughter was little when we were there and we take her for hikes in the Botanical Garden. Back then there was one little garden and the conservatory was brand new. Today the gardens have grown! Not only have the plants nature's, but there's now many different gardens. I'm not much of a gardener so I won't pretend, but I can say they're all beautiful. The conservatory is the same, but it's got a partner building that houses the most amazing and beautiful porcelain collection. Again, I'm not much into dishes or figurines, but to imagine that one person collected all of this stirs the imagination. It sounds boring, but trust me it's a must see. I went to relieve the holes we took with my daughter, and I found a wonderful fairy land of plants and new experiences. If you get to Athens GA for any reason, the State Botanical Garden is good couple of hours experience, more of your into plants!

It’s free 😀 but it would be worth visiting even if it wasn’t! Pick a beautiful day and head out for a relaxing time surrounded by beautiful plants. There are also a lot of fun facts on the signs I found really intriguing, and I’m no plant nerd. So many different types of plants and environments, with the hill of wildflowers especially amazing! Also go visit the porcelain museum—I thought it sounded lame but it is also really neat!

Beautiful gardens with plenty of parking. No entry fee, but donations accepted. There's a gift shop. What they really need is a cafe or at least a snack bar. We enjoyed our visit.

Couldn't possibly do this place justice with words. Go! Bring a picnic. Bring everyone you know. This was a revelation in what a community can provide for it's residents and visitors. I have paid large sums to have less fun and relaxation. The children's garden and flying squirrels nest are not to be missed. Perfectly manicured and curated ornamental gardens on a sprawling, truly gorgeous property.

This place is absolutely awesome! The children's area is amazing, and my 3-year-old enjoys playing there. Entrance is free, but donations are encouraged. I also took my elderly mother there, and they provided a scooter for her to enjoy (check the website for details on availability). Overall, an amazing place, and I recommend everyone visit.

It is really nice. If you like plants or just nice scenic trails to walk on, you will like this place. There are also a couple of play areas for kids that look pretty awesome too. The pocelain museum onsite is worth a visit too - it is pretty amazing, and no it is not porcelain toilets. Honestly I think this place should charge admission. The outdoor areas are on par with the Atlanta Botanical gardens in my opinion, and Atlanta Botanical is a bit pricey on the admission. I have attached a picture of the map for those who would like to see the layout. Its a pretty big place. I spent about 3 hours there.

So much fun and free admission! The toys are beautifully decorated and displayed, and the prices are very affordable. Not just Cabbage Patch Kids, but they also have many other plushes. The staff I encountered were super kind and sweet. I would definitely recommend a visit.

BabyLand General Hospital is truly one of my favorite places. The Cabbage Patch dolls are absolutely beautiful — it feels like stepping into a magical world. Visiting this place and adopting one for my daughters was one of the most heartwarming experiences I’ve ever had with them. Seeing their smiling faces as they looked through the dolls, picked out their outfits, and chose accessories was pure magic. I even ended up buying dolls not only for my daughters but also for myself! I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves dolls or wants to share a special moment with their family. It’s a beautiful, unforgettable experience. The only thing that would make it even better would be if the person issuing the adoption certificates were a little more friendly. My daughters felt a little uncomfortable because she was so serious. Since this is such a magical experience for the girls, a warm smile would make it absolutely perfect. 🎀❤️😀

Took my 2y/o for her birthday and so glad that I did! BabyLand is massive! A little kids dream. If they don't want a cabbage patch doll there are tons of other stuffed animals and other options. We walked out with a baby owl and a Bingo bouncey ball. Definitely recommended visiting if your kid loves any of the above. It's such a cute and unique place.

A Magical Trip Back for Any 80s Girl. Visiting Babyland General Hospital was like stepping into a childhood dream! As an 80s girl, seeing the Cabbage Patch Kids being “born” and all the nostalgic displays truly warmed my heart. It’s such a unique and whimsical experience. Best of all — it’s completely free to visit! There’s a lot to look at: nurseries, vintage dolls, fun little displays, and even the live cabbage patch “birth.” While the building and decor are definitely showing a little wear, everything is still lovingly cared for and full of charm. Whether you’re bringing your kids, reliving memories, or just want a little joy in your day, it’s absolutely worth a stop. We had such a sweet time — a true hidden gem.

My mother visited the original Babyland General nearly 30 years ago when it was located closer to downtown Cleveland. She bought a commemorative 1996 Atlanta Olympics Cabbage patch kid which we still have today. When looking online for any news on Babyland, I saw that they had moved location back in 2010 to a much larger facility. I told my mom about this and in a flash, we were driving up north one weekend to see the new location. We were surprised with the new location being much larger than the smaller clinic building from years ago. Numerous Cabbage Patch kid busts greet you as you pull into the parking lot. Inside, the store is made to look like a hospital nursery with the staff dressed as nurses. The store was fun and entertaining with exhibits on the history of BabyLand and new dolls to “adopt.” Besides the titular dolls, there are other toys like stuffed animals, cars and several others for the kids to buy. Overall, a great place to bring family and kids when visiting Northeast Georgia.

Childhood dream come true. Beautifully located in the North Georgia Mountains. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive. Self guided tour allows you to take as much time as you like visiting BabyLand. Adopt your favorite Cabbage baby and take the Oath of Adoption and create beautiful memories of a lifetime.

I just got back from an unforgettable weekend trip to Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, and my inner 80s kid is absolutely screaming with joy! 🤩 Stepping through those doors, I was instantly transported back to my childhood in the Bronx, holding my beloved Cabbage Patch doll, Betsy. It was pure magic! My friends and I—grown women, mind you—spent the day playing, exploring, and getting lost in the unapologetic wonder of it all. The familiar, nostalgic scent of that Cabbage Patch "baby powder" filled the air, instantly bringing back a rush of memories. We even witnessed a "live birth" from Mother Cabbage herself—a moment of pure, whimsical delight that I'll never forget! ✨ Seeing the magic firsthand, I can only imagine the joy of bringing a child here to create their own lifelong memories. This isn't just a store; it's a nostalgic trip back in time, and an experience of pure, unadulterated fun. I will most definitely be back! #ashsaidit #80sKid #CabbagePatchKids #80sNostalgia #RetroToys #VintageToys #BabylandGeneral #ClevelandGA #TravelGeorgia #WeekendGetaway #FamilyFun

Carolyn was our tour guide and she was fantastic! The tour was very fun and educational. At the end of the tour, we got to pan for gold. The staff were very helpful and informative. We were able to take home the gold we found in small vials. We also did a gem bucket. The staff frequently checked on us to make sure we were doing well and they answered our questions about the rocks we found. All of the staff were just so friendly and helpful.

Very cool and educational tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and added some humor into the tour. My advice would be if you’re cold natured bring a long sleeve shirt or jacket to wear on the tour- it’s chilly. Also would wear close-toed shoes, it’s wet and rocky. Just about everyone had mud on the backs of their pants legs from walking down the narrow stairs, so wear some pants and shoes you wouldn’t mind getting dirty. Overall would highly recommend!

This was easily one of our favorite experiences on our trip to Dahlonega! It was so cool and educational for our entire family. Our tour guide was great both informative and funny and we really enjoyed every part of the tour. Then we did some gem mining after and I highly recommend adding that as part of your experience especially if you have little ones. They get to keep their gems and my boys are already planning to put them in a cool cabinet when we get home! Everyone was super nice and they have a TON of cool stuff in the gift shop.

This was our first time checking out a gold mine, and we had such a great time! The tour was really informative, and our guide was awesome—he made the whole experience super enjoyable. We also got to try gold panning, and we even got to keep a little bit of the gold we found. Overall, a super cool experience and totally worth the visit!

This tour has a very interesting history, it also highlights the unfortunate exposure of past workers to hazardous working conditions. It is not ideal for individuals with mobility issues due to the presence of stairs and steep pathways that can become extremely slippery. It is essential to wear non skid shoes and hats for protection, as water drips from the ceiling. Notably, other cave tours ( other states )provide helmets for added safety.

Wow, what a fun experience for kids and adults alike. Our tour guide, Rusty, was absolutely amazing in his explanation of stories, involving the kids, and attention to detail of the tour. He has the best personality for being a guide. All the staff was also very friendly, making it a welcoming atmosphere. It’s been one of the best highlights of our Georgia trip so far. The gold and gem mining at the end was so fun!

This was a great experience going underground, and the guide was really good, knowledgeable, and explained everything very clearly. Kids really enjoyed this activity at ages 12 and 14. Got the history of what it was like during the gold rush and being a miner. Kids enjoyed panning for gold afterwards and they enjoyed the store and we even got to see and meet the man in the pictures with the long beard which was cool. 10/10 recommend. I only took a Star away because the cashier lady in the overalls took tickets which were for crisson gold mine AND consolidated gold mine, so when we went to go to Crisson afterwards the only tickets I had left were one for crisson and one for consolidated (for one person), but I handed over 3 tickets for each consolidated and crisson (they come attached), but I had my receipt showing I just purchased the tickets earlier from the Dahlonega visits center, and we were able to enter without an issue, however if I didn’t have my receipt from the visitors center, I may of had a issue entering.

We didn't stay overnight, we just visited the water park. Park was clean and well maintained. Staff (early twenties age group) were nice, helpful and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Buy your ticket at the gate if you are eligible for a military discount, price will still be right at $100 for two people, but worth the savings.

we stayed in the campground and it was wonderful. it was during the off season so the water park wasn't open. Our site was very nice and clean. The wifi worked wonderful. We would recommend this place for camping to anyone. We drove up to Helen for Octoberfest.

Amilya was amazing. Always made sure we were taken care of all week. Great bartender. Awesome service with the Margaritaville golf cart stopping at our campsite. And great server. Definitely made our experience worth while

We recently visited Margaritaville lol, and it was a fun and relaxing experience from start to finish! The combination of lakeside views, beach vibes, and family-friendly activities made it a memorable outing. The water park was a highlight—clean, well-maintained, and full of attractions for all ages. The slides were thrilling, the wave pool was a blast, and the lazy river was the perfect place to unwind. We also appreciated the variety of food and drink options throughout the park. The frozen margaritas lived up to the name, and the beachside grill offered solid options for both kids and adults. One of the best parts was the laid-back, island-style atmosphere. Music was playing, the staff was friendly, and everything felt very well organized. Renting a cabana by the lake made our day even more enjoyable and gave us a comfortable spot to cool off and relax. Parking and entry were smooth, though it's worth arriving early on weekends to avoid crowds. The prices were reasonable for a full-day experience, especially considering the range of amenities. Margaritaville is a great summer destination whether you’re visiting with family, a group of friends, or just looking for a mini getaway without leaving Georgia. We’ll definitely be back!

Fun slides. Not very long lines. Food was meh. I didn't have any cocktails, but there were bees buzzing around the bar anyway. Kids had a great time, so that's what counts. Parents might be a bit disappointed with the food and drink, though.

Just beware of the waterpark especially if your family has dietary restrictions. We called in advance to ensure we can bring in safe food for our family with allergies and they said no problem. At the gate our cooler with lunch was denied entry altogether. Very frustrating miscommunication. They’ll also make you pour out waters for children, and adults, despite it being 100 degrees.

Listen if you live close and I’m gonna come more than a few times during the summer by the season pass. If you just go with a daily pass, you’re gonna pay an arm and a leg. This place is a lot of fun once you get in but for my family of four for one day we spent $350-$400 for about six hours. Honestly, if they just made the prices reasonable, you’d probably have a lot more people coming.

If you’re looking for a quick escape from the city without driving too far, Stone Mountain Park is a must-do. The walk-up trail is about 2 miles round trip and gives you a surprisingly good workout; it starts easy, then turns into a steep granite climb that will get your heart racing. It’s short enough for beginners but rewarding enough for regular hikers. The views from the summit are spectacular, on a clear day you can see downtown Atlanta, Kennesaw, and even the Appalachian foothills. The exposed granite top has a strange, lunar feel that makes the climb feel otherworldly. If you don’t want to hike both ways, the Summit Skyride cable car is a fun option. It’s a glass-enclosed gondola that glides over the mountain and offers panoramic views. Many hikers take the cable car down after trekking up - it saves your knees and lets you soak in the scenery without effort. Just note that the Skyride ticket is separate from the $20 park entry fee, and lines can get long on weekends. The only downsides: the trail can get crowded, especially late mornings, and the granite gets slippery when wet. Bring plenty of water, good shoes with grip, and go early to catch sunrise or late evening for cooler weather. Overall, Stone Mountain is one of Atlanta’s best quick treks, a mix of natural beauty, light adventure, and a cable car view that feels straight out of a travel ad. Whether you hike, ride, or do both, it’s absolutely worth it. ⭐ Rating: 4.6 / 5 📍 Best Time: Early morning or sunset 🎫 Tips: Bring water, sunblock, and take the Skyride down for the best combo of effort and ease.

Day trip to Stone Mountain Park. Good experience exploring the sights of Atlanta, one of it being this amazing and natural attraction. Walked around the park, took the cable car up to the “summit” and soaked in the views at the top of the stone. The views at the top were fantastic and the whole experience was fruitful. The attraction can be a bit far from downtown Atlanta, you can expect a USD 30-35 Lyft ride one way from downtown if you plan to visit this attraction. A 5* trip, and will recommend to experience once if your travels passes by Atlanta.

Hi everyone! My family and I visited this very interesting park. It was nice to climb up that mountain. If you have the chance, be sure to go up and look from above! You can see everything around you, the forest is very beautiful, and the panorama looks beautiful. I think climbing the mountain is good for your health. If the walking is difficult, there's an escalator! There's a large parking lot and plenty of entertainment. The kids really enjoyed it, and so did the adults. If possible, we'll come back here again and climb it again. There are also toilets (clean). There are trash bins along the way. There are places to eat and stay. Everything is great!

Beautiful today because ....FALL! The leaves are beautiful. Everything is set up for the light show tonight and the winter wonderland. Seems a little pricey for the tickets but everything seems to be about 50 bucks a piece at places. Get a map for sure. There is so much to see other than the mountain. Grist mill, lakes, trails, waterside.

We had beautiful weather. All we need was camp and hike. We did not go on the mountain. There are a number of hiking trails and we loved the campground. It was nice to see the changing of the trees as well

I haven’t taken the scenic skyride, but I usually go hiking instead. For those who enjoy hiking, this is a very easy trail, and for beginner hikers, it offers just the right amount of challenge. Once you reach the top, you’ll get a full 360-degree view of Atlanta — it’s beautiful! Parking is $20 for a one-time visit, and $40 for a season pass. Hope this helps!

The Best Fall Festival Ever! Stone Mountain Park truly outdid themselves with the Pumpkin Festival! We went as a family and were completely blown away by the "Play by Day, Glow by Night" experience. Everything was fantastic: the glowing jack-o'-lanterns, the parade, and the sheer amount of family fun. It's magical, well-organized, and worth every penny. Highly, highly recommend this for anyone looking for the perfect fall outing! Go make those memories!

Wonderful experience. You may want to see the sunrise and sunset here. Amazing place for self and family visitors. Highly recommended.

Went on Saturday morning 7/5/25 felt so good out there with a nice breeze and low humidity that morning. It was a good hike, with it being my very first hike at Stone Mountain. I normally go to KENNESAW Mountain but that day I decided to go to Stone Mountain to hike over there for the first time and I will definitely be coming back more often I enjoyed it. I was expecting myself to make it to the top within 45 minutes to an hour, but nope I got there sooner. I got there to the top in 30 minutes and 24 seconds from the walk up trail parking lot With 4 stops along the way to catch my breath lasting at least 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Pros: - Parking is relatively cheap inside the park; $20 a car per day, or $40 a car for a whole year. Access is also technically free if you can find parking within the town of Stone Mountain and then just walk into the park. - The natural landscape is pretty beautiful and peaceful (aside from a rather hideous carving on one side of the mountain's face), especially on a sunny day with blue sky. You might even get a close look at some interesting wildlife, like deer, owls, and hawks. - The hike up the mountain poses a good challenge for hikers, runners, or just anyone looking to get in a workout. Took us about 40 minutes from parking lot to peak moving at a steady pace with a couple rest stops. I would rate the difficulty somewhere between 6/10 to 8/10. It is filled with smooth rocky steps that can be a bit slippery and there are sections that get REALLY steep. - At the peak, offers some spectacular views of the surrounding park and lake. On a clear day, you can also see the Metro Atlanta skyline from Downtown to Buckhead to Sandy Springs. I also appreciated the wind and breeze at the peak since this was in the middle of summer. Cons: - A lot of areas on the hiking trail don't have much tree cover, and the mountain feels like one giant smooth slab of concrete, which means on a hot sunny day, the heat can be pretty brutal. Plan and pack accordingly! - I found the Welcome Center at the top to be a little disappointing. Refreshments seemed expensive. At least they had bathrooms and AC.

Amazing experience. We have been there twice, in winter for Christmas and in summer for the 4th of July. I strongly recommend this place. A lot of activities most of them for kids but not only. The nature is amazing and there is also a camping site by the lake. Magical ambiance at night with the Christmas decorations and it is even if it snows. The 4th of July show with drones and fireworks is also amazing. I would go again for a weekend retreat.

Climbed it for a sunrise mountaintop experience, very much worth it. Brought my 3 year old daughter and she was able to walk up most of it only needing help in the very steep parts. Legs were burning but the air was clear and the sunrise was beautiful. Would recommend.

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.

Wanted to hike while visiting one of my close childhood friends and we ended up settling for this place the day before I had to head back home. For parking it was $20 so just keep that and mind and it was also $20 for the sky ride if you would like to experience that as well. We had a really good time and are glad we went when we did because we got to watch the sunset which made this hike 10000% better. You can see the whole sky and trees from all different parts of this mountain so makes it cool for a couple different stops. For sure should at least check this place out once if you haven’t been there before..

I super love this venue !! We have seen multiple shows here, HALSEY, GOD IS A WEAPON, and their first concert ever back in 2009 to name a few and it’s gotten even better over the years! Great acoustics for an outdoor venue, great drinks, and friendly staff!! Except for ONE staff member that stood out for all the wrong reason. The staff member stationed at section 101, older lady, who took her job way too damn seriously. Who thought she was the gateway to protecting innocence. The last defense from protecting the artist and the precious venue. Whose job she thought was to be rude to anyone who talked to her 🫡🫡🫡🫡 My wife l, me, my friend, anyone she saw. You take away from the experience BY YOURSELF. That’s not an easy feat.

Second time @ this venue. Staff is friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean. Try to pay close attention to the bag policy specifics, but if you don't, it's ok, there is a coat check type station at each entrance. If you're a drinker, I'd go heavy on the pregame, drinks start at almost $20. Definitely will return

Great place for a concert! We have seen several shows here and they all rocked. We just saw Collective Soul here and it was great. The acoustics here are awesome even though its outdoors. Our seats were just okay considering we had a tree view. I also dont like the fact that the place is cashless. Still though this is a cool venue

First visit to Ameris and was very pleased. Very organized. Easy to navigate. Merch, bathrooms, food and drink were all visible and close to the seating area. The box office staff were friendly and helpful.

Venue was awesome! Lawn seating with chair rental for $1. Box seats. Private seating. Regular seats are under the pavilion. Big fans keep air moving. Seats upgrades were available moving us from 104 to the orchestra, dead center stage! Sound was amazing. 2 large screens. Food lines were short and moved quick. $11 refillable sodas. $2 hotdogs. Bring in your own cups with ice and they have filtered water stations. Restrooms were easily accessible and clean!! Staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

We attended the Rod Stewart concert here, our first time visiting this venue. We were very impressed. We elected to sit in the grassy area and it was perfect. A light breeze kept the summer heat from being unbearable. The line to get in was long, but it moved quickly. There were lots of vendors to buy food, drink, souvenirs, etc. Vendors came around offering drinks during the concert. Several people came up to the Will Call window looking for tickets and upgrades. The event was sold out, so I recommend getting your tickets in advance. I hope we get a chance to come back here again soon.

The best venue for a large rock concert in the greater ATL area. The show was amazing! Security was absolutely wonderful. They gave us water when we needed it. They were excellent with pulling crowd surfers over the barricade without injuries. The security was also very fair with distributing items the band threw that missed the crowd. That speaks volumes that they care about keeping the patrons happy and wanting to come back. Thanks for a great show!

This place is truly a refreshing escape into nature. The moment you arrive, the sound of rushing water and the crisp, fresh air instantly create a calming atmosphere. The waterfall is absolutely beautiful as it cascades down the rocks, surrounded by lush greenery and seasonal colors that make the entire view feel alive. Standing near it, you can’t help but pause and soak in the serenity it brings.The trail leading up to the falls is well maintained, marked clearly, and lined with tall trees that offer both shade and stunning views. The gentle breeze, mixed with the earthy scent of the forest, makes the hike enjoyable and relaxing. Even in the fall, the play of golden and red leaves adds a magical touch, making every step of the journey worthwhile. What I love most is how peaceful and energizing this place feels. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect from the busyness of everyday life and simply be present in nature. Whether you’re hiking, taking photos, or just sitting quietly to listen to the water, every visit leaves you refreshed and renewed. This is one of those places you’ll want to return to again and again. 🌿💧🍂🍁😇

Amicalola Falls is absolutely breathtaking! The views are stunning from every angle — whether you’re looking up from the base of the falls or hiking to the top. The sound of the rushing water and the mountain air make it such a peaceful escape. We enjoyed exploring the trails, and the steps to the top are definitely a workout but completely worth it for the view! The park is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for all ages. There are plenty of picnic areas, beautiful overlooks, and friendly staff throughout the park. If you’re planning a visit, take your time to enjoy the scenery — it’s truly one of Georgia’s most beautiful spots. Great for a day trip, a weekend getaway, or just a little time in nature to refresh your soul.

Beautiful park to visit when the leaves are changing in mid October to November. It was nice to have the option to drive to different parts of the park or hike. This makes it convenient for families that may want to split up amd experience the park in different ways. A walking stick and water bottle is helpful if your planning to do more hiking than driving. There are a lot of steps! Great for exercise.

Amicalola Falls is an absolute must see! The waterfall is stunning, and the trails offer amazing views and fresh mountain air. The visitor center and gift shop were great especially the mini wildlife display! A huge thanks to Carla, who was so knowledgeable and friendly while helping us plan our route to the falls. The stairs up and down were a fun adventure with breathtaking views. This park is truly a peaceful, beautiful Georgia jewel. Can’t wait to return!

A really nice state park centered around the tallest waterfall in Georgia. The waterfall itself and the staircase section are the stars of this park. The easiest way to view the falls would be to park at the West Ridge Parking Lot and walk over about 0.25 miles. The staircase section, starting from the reflection pool and going to the top of the falls is a great workout and has great views. I was slightly disappointed with the other trails I used to make a loop while parking at the visitor center. The Creek Trail and East Ridge Trail were just okay to me. I would try the AT approach trail starting from behind the visitor center if I visited again.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Very nice around early to mid-Fall, but I'd watch out for wildlife, such as snakes and bears! Also, if you're planning on hiking, I'd recommend parking, then taking "the arch" up, then the stairs down and back into the parking lot.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at this park today. It was $5 to get in and it had a ranger station which was pretty impressive. They had information centers plus they had the souvenir section which was very well stocked. The rangers were very knowledgeable and friendly. There was a ATM on site and purified water stations by the toilets. They also had three Park stamps instead of one hours of collect patches in the wife collects postcards and magnets as well. Drive across the street from the ranger station up that road and come to your first parking space on the right. Then go down the walkway, not the stairs and about .3 mi you'll come across the middle of the falls. Then you get back in your car and go up to the top. Behind the ranger station is access to the Appalachian trail which is kind of neat. I would have liked to have hiked that but I'm too old for that now. The restrooms were very clean and we had a wonderful time.

Plan to spend at least 3 hours here and wear comfortable shoes. Beautiful scenery and wide variety of well cared for plants. My visit was in late September, but there were still a lot of blooms around. I'll have to come back for the daffodils next year in the spring!

My visit to Gibbs Gardens was an absolutely refreshing and memorable experience. Surrounded by beautiful seasonal flowers, vibrant fall colors, and peaceful landscapes, the garden felt like stepping into a living painting. Every corner offered something unique, from colorful roses and hydrangeas to water lilies floating serenely on ponds. The changing fall leaves rich shades of red, orange, and gold added an extra layer of charm and perfectly framed the floral displays.The design and layout of the gardens made the experience even more enjoyable. Clear signboards and maps were thoughtfully placed throughout the property, making navigation simple and stress-free. I could easily find each themed garden, whether it was the Japanese garden with its stone lanterns and statues or the wide flower fields bursting with color. This attention to detail ensured that I could focus fully on the beauty around me without worrying about directions.The staff at Gibbs Gardens were another highlight of my visit. They were consistently friendly, approachable, and helpful whether offering guidance on trails or simply greeting visitors with a warm smile. Their presence made the entire visit feel welcoming and well-organized, showing that guest experience is clearly a top priority here.I was also impressed by the balance between natural beauty and careful landscaping. The wooded areas, with tall trees and filtered sunlight, offered rustic charm, while the manicured flower beds and artistic sculptures added elegance. Together, they created an atmosphere that was peaceful yet energizing, making it easy to spend hours just wandering, relaxing, and taking photographs.Cleanliness and maintenance were excellent as well. The walking paths were tidy, rest areas were spotless, and benches were thoughtfully placed for comfort and photo opportunities. Every detail seemed designed with visitors in mind, which made the day even more enjoyable.Overall, Gibbs Gardens is not just a place to see flowers it’s a sanctuary for the soul. It offers peace, joy, and inspiration in every season. Whether you are looking for a quiet escape, a spot for photography, or simply a way to reconnect with nature, Gibbs Gardens delivers an unforgettable experience. With its helpful staff, clear organization, and breathtaking scenery, it truly deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful gardens to visit. 🌺🌸🌹🌼🌻😍

Breathtaking Fall Colors and a Perfect Family Outing! This was my second visit to Gibbs Gardens, and it was just as magical as the first! I took my in-laws to show them the beautiful fall colors, especially in the majestic Japanese Garden — it was absolutely stunning. 🍁 They also loved exploring the Wildflower Garden, which was full of vibrant colors and peaceful views. The gardens are so well-maintained, and every corner feels serene and picturesque. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy nature and spend a relaxing day with family. Highly recommend visiting during the fall season!

Absolutely beautiful! Such a peaceful and well-kept garden — everything is so nicely maintained and full of life. A perfect place to relax, take a walk, and enjoy nature’s beauty. Highly recommend visiting!

I went last week for the 1st time! I went out for the 2nd time this week. We've all got a yearly membership. The Manor house is beautiful. The Japanese garden was amazing. We will be going back next week. Just a peaceful gorgeous walk to take with friends and family.

What a spectacular way to spend an afternoon. This was my wife and my first time visiting. Mr Gibbs love letter to his passion is nothing short of amazing. I look forward to visiting many more times! DONT FORGET YOUR CAMERA!

This was our first visit to Gibbs Garden. The grounds are in great shape and the employees are so friendly and helpful. Christine was a rockstar, giving us so much helpful info! The butterflies were loving the wild flowers and I can't say enough about the Japanese Garden! We became annual members the same day, well done Gibbs Garden!!!

I would say that it was a pleasant experience for a date night once inside the park, though I found the price to be somewhat high. Certain areas were indeed very beautiful and tranquil, and the lighting was quite lovely. However, there were some aspects that were unfortunately quite disappointing and warrant mentioning. I had anticipated more based on the website's photographs, but as expected nothing is in bloom during the winter months, which I believe should be reflected in the pricing, especially since many attractions were closed. Regarding arrival, we were advised to arrive 15 minutes early, which we did. However, we were then informed that we needed to wait until our precise arrival time. This led to a rush of people trying to enter, which took an additional 10-15 minutes. The odor emanating from the restrooms was quite strong and the conditions within were unacceptable. The main entrance also had a noticeable smell of urine and other improperly disposed or uncleaned items from the restrooms. Furthermore, there is an additional charge for parking on top of the ticket price, and the parking garage was quite crowded. Despite these less favorable aspects of my visit, I would still be interested in returning during a time when everything is in bloom, hoping that improvements have been made to the issues I encountered. As i believe in second chances. Overall, it was an acceptable experience, but I had simply expected a bit more.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a true gem and a fantastic escape right in the heart of Midtown. This 30-acre urban oasis beautifully blends stunning horticulture with world-class art, offering a dynamic experience for everyone. ​Highlights You Can't Miss ​The Earth Goddess: The centerpiece, a massive, living topiary sculpture, is an absolute showstopper. ​Kendeda Canopy Walk: Stroll 40 feet above the Storza Woods on this unique treetop suspension bridge for incredible views. ​Fuqua Orchid Center: Marvel at one of the country's most extensive collections of orchids, including rare high-elevation varieties. ​Art and Exhibits: The gardens are peppered with impressive art, including beautiful glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly and fascinating seasonal exhibits. ​A Garden for All Seasons ​The Garden is wonderful year-round, with diverse exhibition areas like the Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, and the tropical Fuqua Conservatory. It also hosts popular seasonal events, such as the colorful "Atlanta Blooms" in the spring and the enchanting "Garden Lights, Holiday Nights" in the winter. ​Whether you're a serious plant enthusiast, looking for a tranquil date spot, or seeking a fun family outing—especially with the award-winning Children's Garden—the Atlanta Botanical Garden is a well-maintained, lush, and inspiring destination that's definitely worth a visit.

🌸 Atlanta Botanical Garden: A Whimsical Wonderland in Bloom This was truly something I enjoyed! The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a lush, enchanting escape nestled in the heart of the city. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with a refreshing cocktail and a sense of magic in the air. The “Alice in Wonderland” theme added a playful, storybook charm—giant mushrooms, whimsical sculptures, and floral displays that felt straight out of a dream. Even with the heat, the beauty of the gardens and the creativity in every corner made it worth wandering. It’s more than a park—it’s a living gallery of nature and imagination. A perfect spot to slow down, sip something sweet, and let your senses bloom.

This was our first time visiting Atlanta, and the botanical garden was on our bucket list. My wife and I really enjoyed walking through all the different themed areas, the whole place was super clean and well taken care of. They gave us a map at the entrance that made it easy to find our way around, which helped a lot since the park is pretty big. The highlight for us was the indoor garden area. It was full of unique plants, facts, and displays—definitely our favorite part and something we’ll remember. We saw plants we’ve never seen before and learned a lot too. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d for sure come back again in the future. Note: save $4 by buying ticket online but processing is $2.50 per ticket. You have to pay additional for parking on site. Date: October 2025 Fee: $33+ tax online per person Parking: $13 (4hrs) Time: 3-4 hours Clean: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crowd: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Interactive/Education: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved my visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden! It’s a large and beautiful place to walk around and explore. Depending on the season you visit, you’ll get a different experience. I went during Halloween, and everything was perfectly themed for fall — such a lovely atmosphere! One of my favorite parts was the Fuqua Orchid Center, absolutely stunning! Still, every area of the garden is worth admiring — the flowers, trees, and plants from so many different species make it a magical place. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some frogs in one of the sections! It’s a wonderful and family-friendly spot to enjoy nature and relax. I truly recommend it! 🌸🌳🍁 Also I’m visiting from Florida.

Went in Halloween season for the 🎃 carving contest; Variety of beer, food is ok for the price you pay, 2 bands playing live music really good. Wanted to see the famous “lady covered in green” but I guess it wasn’t the season. Went in a week day so the parking was Great and zero lines.

Just spent the day wandering through the Atlanta Botanical Garden, was there for a wedding, and honestly? I’m convinced I accidentally stepped into a fairytale and no one bothered to tell me. 😌💚 From the moment you walk in, it feels like Mother Nature hired her own glam squad. The lush greenery, towering sculptures, and colorful blooms are basically Instagram filters in real life. And don’t get me started on the Canopy Walk — I felt like a mildly adventurous forest elf, 10/10 would frolic again. 🧝‍♀️🌳 The Orchid Center? Pure magic. Like someone took every shade of "wow" and convinced it to grow petals. And yes, I absolutely pretended I was in a tiny jungle documentary while strolling through. Narration voice included. 📸🐒 If you need a peaceful escape, a cute date spot, or the perfect backdrop for pretending you’re living your soft-life dreams, this place is it. 🌸✨ Rating: 5 out of 5 enchanted leaves. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 Would recommend: Anyone who likes plants, pretty things, or pretending they’re royalty in a botanical kingdom. 👑🌼 Go. Wander. Take too many pictures. Your camera roll will thank you. 📷💚

Catching Back to the Future at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta was an incredible experience! The Fox itself is a show before the show—the Egyptian-themed interior is breathtaking, unique, and every seat offers a great view of the stage. The production brought back so many childhood memories. The acting was spot-on, and the stage effects were seriously impressive. You could feel the joy in the audience the entire time. If Back to the Future makes a stop in a city near you, I highly recommend going. It’s nostalgic, fun, and a true crowd-pleaser!

⭐️⭐️ As someone who adores a historic Atlanta landmark and loves a good spooky story, I had high hopes for the Haunted History Tour at the iconic Fox Theatre. The idea of exploring one of the city’s most beautiful venues definitely sparked my curiosity — I was ready for ghostly tales, eerie legends, and maybe even a peek behind the velvet curtain. Unfortunately, the experience fell a bit flat. While the tour was rich in historical detail, it didn’t quite deliver on the “haunted” side of things. We weren’t able to access many of the areas I’d been hoping for — no stage, backstage views, or even the mysterious hospital room I’ve always heard whispers about. I was secretly hoping for a ride in what I’m convinced is the original freight elevator, but that didn’t happen either. For $25, I expected something a bit more immersive or exclusive — something that would make me see the Fox in a new light beyond what you’d experience attending a show. Instead, it felt more like a standard history tour with light spooky seasoning. I still think the Fox is one of Atlanta’s most magical spaces, and I’d love to come back next year to try their Ghost Tour, which I hear leans more into animated storytelling and atmosphere. But as for the Haunted History Tour — once was enough..but definitely at 1/2 the price.

Super venue! Saw Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson in the VIP Orchestra section. Stayed for a Q & A. The architecture in the Fox is a magnificent Moroccan classic style. The bathroom lighting is ancient and it could use an update. Otherwise it is a fabulous venue

This is my first time at the Fox. I could never find a show that was suitable to my liking. But long and behind, The Rock Orchestra arrive! This experience was the upmost needed. The Fox Theatre is beyond beautiful. I love all the original features. The seats are spacious. Didn’t feel like I was sitting on top of anyone and plenty of lag space. Plenty of vendor cashiers stations. I will be looking for more shows in 2026 just to come back and visit The Fox

Amazing! Wonderful staff. I couldn't get tickets to see ludovico einaudi while he was in MD, but snatched up pit seats at the fox. Beautiful venue.

Saw John Fogerty. Awesome show. John's voice sounds like it did when he played at Woodstock with Credence in 1969. If you have the opportunity to see him this tour, do it. He's 80 years old, but still plays those guitars like a spring chicken. Fox Theatre is a great venue. Acoustics are excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful.

My favorite Atlanta venue. EVER. I've seen concerts, comedians, and shows. The best acoustics in the area, I think. I've NEVER been disappointed. Awesome venue. Awesome staff. My only negative comment is the double jack is smaller than a normal shot. Really? If I pay $24 for a double shot, I expect 2 shots. That said, I'll be back. But I won't drink there again. 😂

The World of Coca-Cola was a fun experience overall, though definitely more about the brand than the history behind it. There’s a little bit of nostalgia and storytelling sprinkled in, but most of it feels like one big advertisement — which, to be fair, is kind of what you expect when visiting the home of Coke. My favorite part was easily the picture scanners that morph your face into vintage Coca-Cola ads — such a clever and entertaining touch that makes for great keepsakes. The soda tasting room, on the other hand, was a bit too crowded to really enjoy. It’s fun in theory, but hard to savor the experience when you’re shoulder-to-shoulder with people. Still, it’s worth a visit if you’re in Atlanta and want a lighthearted, bubbly stop full of photo ops and brand nostalgia. Also please note you can find a cheaper ticket if you purchase from a third party.

A fun visit overall! The exhibits were engaging, and the atmosphere was lively and well-curated. The Coke tasting room was definitely the highlight—it felt like the most interactive and entertaining part of the experience. That said, most of the foreign soda options weren’t very good to our taste, but it was still fun to try them all. Great for families or anyone curious about the brand’s global reach. Worth checking out at least once!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! There were many exhibits and things to see. We especially liked being able to taste all the different flavors from around the world. On the downside, there were several from here in the states. I mean, I guess when you're visiting from another country here, it'd be nice, but just something we noticed. My daughter's favorite was from Germany. My favorite was from Thailand. If you know when you plan to go, save yourself a few bucks and purchase tickets on the site.

They make you sit through two terrible movies, the first time just to enter into the place, really didn't add anything to the experience. You just had to stand around for 6 minutes to wait to go in. Then you sat there for 6 minutes and hoped it ended. The movie looks like it was filmed on a go camera tied to a Jack Russell, it was so jumpy and you were so close up it was making me ill ( motion sickness) same with the vault video, pictures racing around your head, then tadah!!! You get to see the vault with the only written copy of the recipe (they don't actually use any more) Not much on the history just wall space. I did like saying some of the old advertisements they had on the walls before you went in to see the first movie. You basically pay $20 per person to taste and drink all the soda you can handle. Gives shaps a lot of expensive t-shirts and some other Coca-Cola stuff, the shirts on sale and you can get souvenir t-shirts anywhere from $15 to $40 on sale. The lab is where the soul of your shoes get sticky and you get to taste their new experiment. Sprite from Germany was the best. the different fantasy, and vitamin waters were good. Sour plum from Korea was the worst, it actually tastes like liquid smoke YUCK 🤢 Warning Wednesday seem to be couple school field trips. We saw probably a couple hundred kids waiting to go in. You don't want to be in there on those days so make sure you haven't made it in at that time with all the kids.

More of a CocaCola tasting experience than a full attraction. You start with a display of vintage Coke ads and characters, followed by a short intro video before entering the main tasting area. The highlight is sampling flavors from around the world as much as you like. Loved the dramatic door opening into Coke World and my favorites - Fanta Melon Frosty and Royal Watermelon. Labs aren’t necessary; the main draw is the tasting and the merchandise store. Not really worth visiting if you’re not particularly interested in tasting cola flavors.

Had a few hours off and went to the Coca-Cola museum. Had only around 1.5 hours, but would advise to spend at least 2 hours to see and experience everything. Quit interesting history, fun to mix your own drinks and challenge how good sense of smell you got!

If you're a Coke fan, it's great. Lots to see and taste. I'm just a standard drinker who was there for an event. It was interesting to try variants from other countries for sure, and I'd make it a stop if you have time but there are more interesting places to see in the area. For me personally I'd give it a 3, but I'm rating it for the target audience. :)

Beautiful aquarium with a great variety of creatures to visit! The lighting was really nice! We had a great time. Especially enjoyed the interactive activities. I appreciated the water fountain in the aquarium. The bathrooms were really clean as well. Souvenir store needs some improvement to get more revenue. Need to reserve sea lion and dolphin shows well in advance! We didn’t know and didn’t get to see them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience! The Georgia Aquarium is incredible! The exhibits are beautifully done, and the marine life is just stunning. The Ocean Voyager tunnel with the whale sharks and manta rays is a must-see — truly breathtaking. The dolphin and sea lion shows were super fun and well put together. Everything was clean, well-organized, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or anyone who loves the ocean. Highly recommend spending a few hours here — you won’t be disappointed! 🌊🐠

We had a great day at the Georgia Aquarium. Staff were friendly and the place was spotless. The dolphin show was a blast, and I wish we had time for the sea lion show as well. My favorite part was standing in front of the huge Ocean Voyager window and watching the whale sharks and manta rays glide by. The tunnel and that massive viewing window make it feel like you are inside the tank. The shark exhibit was another highlight. Parking is paid in the deck next door, which makes sense downtown, just plan for it. Food is on the pricey side, so consider eating before or after. My only gripe is the layout, which felt a little awkward, but once you settle in it is easy to lose track of time in front of the big tank. Tip if you go: reserve seats for the dolphin show and arrive a little early so you are not rushing. I would absolutely go back. It is surprisingly relaxing to stand at that main window and let everything else fade out.

Georgia Aquarium is the best aquarium in the country. There are so many areas to explore, learn, and to be amazed at oceanic life. The shows are spectacular, engaging, and phenomenal. The tanks are massive and inspiring. There are so many undersea creatures to see in every tank. It’s truly amazing to watch the fish, sharks, anemones, and all the rest co-existing. There are beluga whales, giant turtles, otters, penguins, jellyfish, and so many more species. The performances are all top-notch. You get to be entertained while you learn about oceanography, marine biology, and other scientific topics. We splurged on the backstage tour option and it was magical. We met a few performers, got to hold some of the props, and learned even more about the amazing animals in the aquarium. We suggest at least two days to truly explore and appreciate the grandeur of Georgia Aquarium. It’s a huge, sprawling campus dedicated to education and awe-inspiration, as well as raising awareness about our oceanic friends. Everyone should visit at least once.

Definitely a great experience! Don’t miss the Dolphin and Sea Lion presentations - especially the Dolphin show, which was absolutely captivating. The presentation is entertaining, engaging, and beautifully showcases the Dolphins in an intuitive way. Beyond that, you’ll get to see a wide variety of marine life from around the world. The aquarium is well-maintained and easy to navigate, making the visit enjoyable for all ages.

Well kept and safe. We visited during a weekday afternoon and found affordable parking just a few blocks away. I do not recommend visiting this area with young children after dark unless you are well escorted. Inside the aquarium you'll find first class accommodations for guests. As you would expect, this is a wonderland for young children to learn more about marine life and explore another part of our planet that might not otherwise be available to them any other way. The aquarium can be fully explored in just one day and in only a few hours if you aren't attending any of the special programs that are offered in addition to the general admission. The venue provides clean restrooms and a cafe area to take a nutrition break or just to sip a beverage and catch your breath. The kids were having a blast and there are hands-on areas as well as many walk through opportunities that allow little ones to crawl through caves for a fun and personal experience made specially for the little tykes. The gift shop is quite expensive, but if you're well funded and looking for a pleasing way to support the aquarium, I'm pretty sure that you'll find quality gifts to share with the members of your family during your visit. Across from the Aquarium is the World of Coca-Cola nostalgia museum, giving those who still have leftover stores of energy and want to move on to the next venue a chance for additional exploration time.

Definitely big enough to make a day out of it. Kids love getting to see so many fish from so many angles. There is places to buy food too making it nice not having to go somewhere to eat then come back. Kids love getting to touch the stingray. Highly recommend going .

This is a really nice place to bring your family or pets to take a walk! There are lots of shops and restaurants around. I came here for the Taste of Marietta and May-Retta daze festivals to work at the Renewal by Anderson booth. The Marietta square is great for events, shopping and just hanging out with your friends or family, I'll probably be coming here again!

This was a nice place to have a seat right by the fountain relax and talk. A bunch of shops right around for snacks or treats. When we were there they were having an Juneteenth event with a live musicians and poets. We had a good time. This place had great atmosphere and a mix of people all vibing together.

Nice square park with fountain surrounded by great shops, bars, and restaurants. Recently I’ve noticed an increase in homeless wandering around digging in trash cans, hope this place doesn’t go down hill. For the most part a great place to visit.

Quaint little southern square. Clean with plenty of interesting vendors and shops. Places for photo opportunities. Great place to purchase locally grown or crafted items.

A great town square full of a variety of restaurants and shopping, with a very pretty park in the middle. The park has a beautiful fountain, along with benches & mature trees throughout.

Marietta Square is such a charming and peaceful place to visit! It has that perfect small-town feel — quaint, quiet, and full of character. The fountain in the center adds a lovely touch, creating a relaxing spot to sit and take in the scenery. This time of year is especially magical — they went all out with the Halloween decorations! Everywhere you look, there’s a festive, spooky touch that makes the whole square come alive. It’s the perfect place to stroll, grab a coffee, and soak in the seasonal atmosphere.

This is my favorite historical downtown in the Metro Atlanta area. There are wonderful restaurants, art galleries, and local shops galore! There are tons of parking spaces for a small fee. There's always something going on through the warm seasons of the year. There's a farmers and artist Market every saturday, free concerts in the middle of the square, and many festivals such as the taste of Marietta and Chalktober. Marietta Square is set up very well for people to park and walk around. All of the crosswalks have lights for people to cross safely. There are also places such as the wine bar, art museums, and the theater in the square that has delightful and affordable plays year round. Don't forget historic Johnny McCracken's on St Patty's Day!

What a great experience!! Make sure you come on the weekends if you want to see the first stop with out hiking, otherwise the hike up is beautiful!! I enjoyed this park it had some many pieces of history all over, I also enjoyed seeing all the mansions that are in the middle of the park as well

Absolutely loved the Kennesaw Mountain trek! The trail offers a perfect mix of scenic beauty, easy challenge, and historical significance. The views from the top are stunning—especially at sunrise or sunset. It’s well-maintained, safe, and great for both solo hikers and families. Plus, the sense of walking through history adds an extra layer of depth to the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to reconnect with nature without going too far from the city!

Well-maintained trail! AllTrails rates it as moderate, but I’d say it’s somewhere between easy and moderate. A few sections are slightly challenging, but they’re very short. Most of the trail is flat. There are no restrooms except at the visitor center, which is really nice — they show a short movie every hour, the gift shop is lovely, and the museum is informative. Water refill stations are available. Parking is $5, and finding a spot on weekends can be tough, even early in the morning. Still, I definitely recommend this trail!

It was a heck of a hike. Be prepared, that thing is steep all the way up. There are benches along the trail. It's beautiful there. Rangers and staff were great. Great adventure and history.

Kennesaw National Park holds a special place in my heart. It’s where I go to find peace, breathe deeply, and let the worries of the world fade away. Hiking the trails helps me clear my mind, reconnect with nature, and feel grounded again. As a psychotherapist, I even bring clients here for holistic sessions, and it’s incredible to see how the natural surroundings ease anxiousness and help them reconnect to the present moment. This park is truly a sanctuary for the soul — for myself and for those I work with.

Beautiful wooded area with nature and history galore. Beautiful hike over granite and quartz stone. Soooo many different types of fungi I have never seen so many at one place. It rained when I went but I did it anyway and it took everything that ailed me that day and filled me with such aww.

A little bit of a hike to the top. The view of ATL was pretty. A little slippery on the way down. Careful on the wooden steps.

This is a place you should visit if you haven’t visited at least once. They have rotating exhibits that keeps it interesting and the show was great, but I left really feeling like I wanted more- but not entirely their fault since they had construction for part of the area too (which is why I didn’t take off a Star). We went specifically for the dinosaur exhibit and it didn’t disappoint, but it was smaller than other museums we have visited- except for the rock and fossil dig, which was the highlight of our trip and where we spent most of our time (they were not busy and this wasn’t during peak times). The show was challenging for me to watch, but that was just because I wear glasses and it hurt my eyes a little- my daughter loved it and talked about the volcanoes from the show through lunch, so worth it! Lunch was pretty good. I had the sandwich with chips and a drink. My daughter had a kids meal. The prices were typical for museum food. The best part here were the staff members. They were very kind and sweet to my daughter- the interaction was very positive! It was unexpected for a museum, but with the size of the place, I really did like the personable quality of those interactions. Would I return? Yes, but for their star gazing or the telescope event, not so much for the rest of the museum. We live about 2 hours away so going back for one of those events was very appealing to my daughter.

Absolutely love this place!! This is a wonderful place to visit, and an amazing place to take children. The displays are amazing and up close. The staff is more than helpful, and extremely knowledge in every aspect of this museum. You must take make this a family outing for a day, I promise you won't regret it!!

I love this museum, as do my children. They staff is always friendly and helpful, there is a variety of interesting exhibits, and it's not overpriced. They also have a lot of events that we like to attend. The geology wing is great, with interactive elements and lots of displays. The fossil exhibits have interesting dinosaurs and mammals. The technology area has a good selection of old and new cars, planes, and space vessels. In addition to that, the planetarium is fantastic! The night sky and shows are always interesting to observe. They also have an observatory (which is awesome) a planet walk, mining and digging for the children, and other fun encounters. I do recommend visiting.

Tellus is Awesome! We have been members for years and can say with confidence that the memberships are worth every dollar. The kids love every exhibit every time. They have many interactive exhibits such ass gem mining and fossil dig. They also have a new Interactive Space Exhibit! The booths were all very cool and there is a 5 Minute tour thay simulates being on the space station.

Wonderfully designed museum with fascinating exhibits! We learned so much about rocks and minerals, the periodic table, and prehistoric animals. They also have gem mining and fossil digging which was so cool! The souvenir shop is reasonably priced and had a great selection of gems and other interesting gifts.

Came this past Sunday while visiting my friend. [came around 1pm and it wasn’t crowded at all and we really weren’t tripping over other visitors at any exhibit] It’s small compared to other science museums I’ve been to and didn’t expect to be there long but we were there for over 3 hours!!! If we had kids, probably could have spent at least another half hour in the children’s area. We breezed through it but agreed we would have enjoyed it if we were little. Well worth the money and the planetarium program was interesting. I’m sure we will come back again during a future visit! Also want to mention it was very clean, including the bathrooms. We ate lunch and the food was better than expected in terms of size and quality especially for the price. Would highly recommend this!

I recently visited the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia on a field trip with my daughter’s class, and we had such a great experience! The museum has an incredible collection of rocks and minerals, including many that are local to Georgia, which made it even more exciting and educational. One of the highlights for my daughter was the gem mining activity—she loved getting to sift through and take home her own bag of gems. The exhibits are very interactive, engaging for both kids and adults, and the guided tour was full of fascinating information that really brought science to life. The Tellus Museum is such a wonderful place for families, school groups, and anyone interested in geology, fossils, space, or hands-on science. We left with so much knowledge and great memories. Highly recommend visiting the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, GA for an educational and fun day trip!

Warning visitors center is closed on Monday’s and has very short hours on other days. The visitors center is located on a University campus, not adjacent to the scenic drive. Nice little scenic drive. However, my one big complaint is the scenic pull offs are very poorly maintained. Highly suggest a four wheel drive SUV or truck for this trip.

Awesome!!! You can swim too! We took a trail down to the rocks and had an awesome time. You will find a swimming hole/area if you keep going down to Little Falls.

Bob and I recently went on a 3-day camping trip to Desoto State Park in Alabama and visited the Little River Canyon National Preserve atop Lookout Mountain in Alabama. Nearly the entire length of the Little River flows along the middle of Lookout Mountain from Georgia to Alabama. The National Canyon Preserve protects a 25-mile stretch of the river that runs through a deep canyon carved by the river over millions of years. A must do is The Little River Canyon Rim Parkway a scenic drive that runs the length of the canyon, beginning at the falls and ending at the Canyon Mouth Park, is a scenic drive with several overlooks. There are also some hiking trails that go to the bottom of the canyon. We begin our trip to the National Preserve at the Little River Falls. An ADA-accessible boardwalk overlooks the 45-foot-high falls and a hiking trail to the water. Visitors can swim in the Blue Hole, a beautiful pool of water above the falls, or, when the water is calm, in the deeper pool below the falls. The size of the parking lot near the falls suggests that this place gets very crowded on hot summer weekends. The overlook offers a beautiful view of the falls and the pool of water below, while the view from the Highway 35 bridge between DeKalb and Cherokee counties showcases the top of the falls and the beginning of the canyon. Before embarking on your drive along the Little River Canyon Rim Parkway you can use the restrooms here, as the next facilities will be at the other end of the parkway.

What a hidden gem! Highly recommend for views and waterfalls!

I recommend this part to everyone. From the office to the scenic drives, to the waterfalls, to the hiking on the side of the mountain, to the incredible steps that take you down into the bottom of the gorge. There is something for everyone.

This place is amazing!! We could easily spend all day here and then some! It was very unclear if they allowed travel trailers/rvs so we took a chance and it was great! There was plenty of room in their visitor center parking lot for us. We could have easily unhooked and done the whole loop if we had time. We did the junior ranger here and an amazing kid friendly trail behind the visitor center. The visitor center itself is really extraordinary - so many kids activities I was so impressed! We were able to see the water fall right near the visitor center before heading out which did have RV parking. We didn’t try the loop as we didn’t have time unfortunately! What a hidden gem!

Absolutely beautiful waterfalls. Our girls trip was wonderful. Easy walk to the falls.

Great RV Park. It's laid out well with nice roads and level concrete pads. Great location to see the water fall and walk all the trails. This was the first time we saw the waterfall so slow. We've been here several times over the years. If you ever get a chance to see the Christmas Festival at night in the park, you must do so!

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! 😡😡 This used to be one of our favorite little stops — NOT ANYMORE!! Called to check on prices and about fell out of my chair… $70 for ONE night WITH a senior discount?!? Are you kidding me?? That’s just ridiculous!! 🤬 And don’t even get me started on the so-called Christmas lights — I’ve seen better decorations driving through my own neighborhood! 🙄 I honestly feel SO bad for the staff because they were super sweet and helpful (bless their hearts ❤️), but they deserve WAY better than this. They’re working hard all year just for management to turn around and run this place like some kind of money trap 💸💸 It’s honestly just sad. Shame on whoever’s in charge!! 😤

This is definitely a place you want to stay at. When we first got there I was greeted by Whitney, she is very nice and welcoming. We got to our site it was very clean and everything was nice and new. We had Sonya, Jason, Whitney and Tru all come by our camp site and check to make sure all was good. You cannot find a better bunch of folks to be a part of a campground. My wife and I felt like we gained some new friends for life. So much to do, hiking, visit the park, go into Gadsden for shopping and get a great meal. If you are looking for a great place to stay go to Noccalula Falls Campground. It was great stay, and we can’t wait to go back and see our friends.

This is an awesome day trip (closes at 5 pm) for the whole family. Falls and train trip costs $10 (adults), $0 <3 years and $8 for 6-12. Has camping site. Also houses some animals- skinless pig (so cute- you'll be surprised!), axolotl, kangaroos, tucan among others. Has a park outside for kids. You got to taste the Popsicles at the ice cream shop.

What a great visit to this campground. A lot of work was completed to make this park one of the better places to visit. Very quiet yet close to interstate access, the campground is nestled in a quiet and clean campground. RV sites are more than sufficient to accommodate any size RV and plenty of space between sites.

We stayed at the campground ( first time) and we will definitely be back. The staff is friendly, very clean grounds. Over a couple of days I met one staff member because he was always cleaning or picking up around the grounds… early and late. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Shout out to Tommy!

My husband and I were viciously attacked by hornets about halfway through our hike, and it was a terrifying experience. There really needs to be clear signage warning hikers about them. Thankfully, a doctor happened to be behind us and was able to help, it’s a good thing neither of us is allergic because it could have been much worse. I was stung over 30 times and could barely walk out of the park, and my husband was stung more than 10 times. On our way out, we learned that another family had also been attacked, which makes it even more concerning that there were no warnings posted. Please, for the safety of others, put up signs or temporarily close that section of the trail until it’s safe. I’m sure it’s normally a beautiful hike and I can see from photos that the falls are lovely when flowing but during our visit, it was dried up and, unfortunately, overshadowed by the awful experience.

I heard about this place on TV somewhere years back and finally was able to visit. I went on a Monday so it wasn't busy at all. It's a cute concept of selling the unclaimed baggage from all over the place from bus, train, and plane travel. Plus unclaimed cargo and I believe closeouts and liquidations from various stores like Old Navy and TJMaxx type stores. Lots of clothes for men, women and children. Ton of jewelry and headphones beyond belief. Luggage and purses. Plus a whole section of books.  I personally didn't find anything to purchase but enjoyed browsing. Took advantage of the photo ops and liked the various displays of unique items they've acquired along the way and the museum is cool to see.  I also walked across the parking lot to their Bargain Basement which is 3 levels of discounted items. First floor women's; mostly clothing, then  a ramp down takes you to the men's section and onto a room with shoes and socks, through there you reach miscellaneous items a bit of hodge podge of items, travel mugs, more headphones, travel pillows, and a bunch of stuff that reminds me of Big Lots.  This is also where you'll find the fitting rooms. If nothing else, it's worth a stop if you're in the area or driving close by to just stretch your legs and look around at all the fun things. It's a pretty neat place.

So, I think I first saw anything about this place while watching CBS Sunday Morning. I was pretty captivated by it and decided I had to go someday. It is pretty interesting especially all the history they have posted behind it. I felt the prices were pretty high. I feel stuff would fly off the shelves if they reduced their prices. It was definitely worth stopping at and checking out at least once.

My favorite part was the tiny Museum that they have been left unclaimed. From a store perspective we went on a Thursday evening and it was so busy. I definitely recommend going on a weekday during the day so you don't have to deal with crowds. The crowd made it to where I didn't enjoy it. A lot of the clothes were really cool and the jewelry too, but you have to go when there isn't a crowd to be able to actually look through.

Really unimpressed. Purchased online and the number of “excellent” and “good” condition items I received that arrived with stains, snags, spent or twisted elastics, holes, or significant wash wear is absolutely unacceptable—especially for the high price point. I’m picky about condition, which is why I trusted this company in the first place. I returned a portion of the order that I could tell was a lost cause but chose to keep some of the items that arrived not as described hoping I would be able to stain treat them. That was a poor decision on my part. Going through the items again and there are more stains I didn’t even see on the first pass, which is what has prompted me to write this review. Not so much as an apology from the company when I reached out about the issues originally, which would have gone a long way. Instead I just feel sad and extremely disappointed in the waste of money and will not be shopping here again. Highly recommend more thorough training for people inspecting condition of items and responses to emails that don’t feel completely cold and sterile. Really cool concept, terrible execution. I thoroughly enjoy spending my money on secondhand products but will be finding other places to shop after such a negative experience.

Well organized luggage, clothing, accessories, electronics, jewelry, small selection of Halloween costumes, household odds and ends, all with varying prices. Plan on spending a couple hours minimum. There’s a small cafe and a museum with some very interesting finds.

Very interesting experience. There are 2 buildings - 1 is their "bargain basement." The place is huge and has almost everything you could want. Fun to check out whether you buy something or not.

The store is very well laid out and has an unbelievable amount of clothing in men's and women's as well as children's sizes from luggage that was lost or unclaimed at airports around this country, there is also some jewelry and lots of electronics such as cell phones and noise canceling headsets. If you like previously owned clothing at some markdown prices this is the place for you

Absolutely an experience! Had allot of feelings about this place but I can say it was really fun. I won't be going back because of the long horns scratching my car I buffed out what I could but it's not worth getting more. Also the long horns were very aggressive and the horns got a little too close for comfort once coming in the car window about half a foot from my passengers chest. Would love to do it again but the scratches from the long horns is not worth it. All that being said I'm glad I went because it was truly a real up close experience with exotic animals!

Had an awesome time here with the family. The kids loved feeding the animals. We're sorry It took us as long as it did to check this place out. We'd definitely recommend paying them a visit!

I took my daughters and their friend here for the first time and we had an awesome time. I definitely recommend checking it out. We fed the animals and even got to pet a few. With Covid, we weren’t allowed to get out of the car and explore but we still had a great time. The staff was super nice and explained everything when we arrived. I will be visiting again very soon.

We visited the 4/5/21. We’ve always made this a priority stop when traveling because our family always has such a great time and the barrel of laughs that come when the animals put their head in your vehicle. It truly is priceless. However this trip was different. The young lady at the window when entering was rude. EXTREMELY disrespectful and downright rude. If she doesn’t like her job she should find a new one. We were totally bummed about not being able to get out and explore at the end and the animals looked terrible. A lot of them were under weight, missing large patches of hair and some even seemed to weak to even get up and come to our van. We’ve had many years of fun coming here, but afraid this year will have been our last.

So much fun!!! I loved that they let you drive around as many times as you'd like!!! My girls LOVED IT! If you buy food to feed the animals--prepare for your vehicle to get messy... It's all worth the clean out afterwards in my opinion. If you havea sunroof it's easier to feed the giraffe, the camel will take your cup of food, and the ostriches are hilarious eating out of your cup. So fun!!!

Pretty cool place to visit. The animals are used to cars feeding them, so they will swarm your car and if your windows are down they will be all up in your car. Was hoping for more variety of animals, it's mostly deer and emu. There are some variants of cattle, a few miniature horses and a bunch of pigs. There is a giraffe, which is cool, but he stayed pretty close to his pen. The animals with horns/antlers did a great job of minding their closeness to the car. They got super close, but didn't have any issues with them scratching the paint (I was super worried about that.)

Great Experience. If you are looking for a great quarantine friendly activity this is the one. We drove 2 hours and absolutely loved the safari. Price is 10.00 per person over 2 y/o and feed is 1.00 a cup. Bring cash cause they only accept cash or check. The animals are super friendly and very funny. I would recommend getting there early as we did sit in line for about 45 mins just to get in. You are able to go around as many times as you'd like so definitely worth the money.

Amazing!!! It was so much fun! I think a little more emphasis should be placed on what the rules are instead of just being handed a piece of paper. We bought the bucket of food and had a great time! Only thing we would do differently is RENT one of their vehicles! The animals will jump on your car, slobber etc. Renting a car would have been less of a hassle. Also the camel is pretty aggressive so watch out for that.

A bit smaller than expected, and with fewer animal types than we'd hoped. Still a nice time - lots of laughter, squeals of delight, and excitement. We didn't even have any kids with us on this trip yet still had fun. Definitely worth the price, even with slightly expensive animal feed. I mean, how often do you get to interact with llamas / alpacas, exotic deer big & small, cows and bulls with enormously long horns (red, long haired highland cattle & Ankole - Watusi breed)...And many others!?!

We love the outdoors. What a beautiful outdoors this place is! We bought membership for 2 and plan to visit often during the year. The walking paths are both paved and unpaved and all are great for just meandering through a lovely garden.

Always a relaxing walk and something is always blooming. The humongous lily pads at the water garden are worth the visit but don't miss the pitcher plants garden near it. Buy the annual pass as every season has it's own beauty.

It is a nice place to visit! I've been here for 4 years and this was my first visit. My son enjoyed it, my fiance enjoyed it, too. We ended up getting the membership to visit as often as we want to. Plenty of benches to sit down at for those who have limited walking capability/need frequent breaks. A lot of shaded areas.

Would have been 5 stars but it was a little pricey. 100$ for family of 5 to look at some flowers. Granted they were gorgeous flowers. There were lots of nice places to take pictures. The troll garden was a very fun thing.

A friend got us a membership for my son’s birthday and we’ve already had several great trips to the garden! Absolutely gorgeous blooms and so much to look at! I love the new Mama Zelda installation and the butterfly house is my son’s favorite.

10/10 this place is amazing. We stopped in the afternoon early August - was pretty warm. Shortly after arriving the nicest lady (Michaelle Goforth) saw my son's knee brace and offered to drive us around on a cart - we spent a solid 1.5 hours with her and she showed us all kinds of things - A+ on customer service! Sprawling campus, I could spend days there taking photos. Very well maintained. The butterfly house has some beautiful specimens. Captured an Indigo Bunting and Goldfinch along with a bunch of great butterfly shots. Highly recommend!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Huntsville Botanical Garden is an absolute gem! The serene atmosphere and stunning landscapes make it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Every corner offers a beautiful backdrop for photos, making it an ideal spot for a photo shoot. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy nature's beauty!

We stopped in here on a road trip. Incredible collection of space history. Would recommend getting tickets in advance if you want to do any of the simulators - that's the only thing that had a really long wait. Sprawling campus - we were there in August and it was pretty hot, but you can get into shade or inside easily. Everything super clean and well maintained. Friendly staff. Glad we stopped here - amazing showcase of American technology and accomplishment. Nice gift store.

The place is huge, a map is provided so be sure to go to each building, some are not marked very well explaining what is inside. Plan to spend most of the day there as there is so much to see. Wear comfortable walking shoes/sneakers and if you have children, a cart or stroller is necessary. Awesome exhibits and staff was available for questions, even Rocket Scientists to talk with. General Admission doesn't include any extras like the planetarium or simulators/rides and they don't offer any senior or other discounts normally. Food was overpriced at 10.00 for a hamburger but you can bring a picnic lunch and eat outside at the picnic tables. All in All, a fantastic place to visit!

First time visitor here- I went solo and I would 100% recommend!! Seeing the rockets to scale was incredible. The entire facility inside and out was extremely clean. So much to see and learn about you could spend days here. I enjoyed the planetarium show and would highly recommend getting additional tickets for it. Was fun to end the day with a show and popcorn. The G force ride and moon shot are included in GA tickets and were both fun!

I hadn't been for many years and it was very much updated! The museum as a whole is very educational and informative about all things space. Not only does it go into the natural wonders of the universe, but also the history and present of space technology, looking into the future via the space camps. I liked the show in the theater as well as all the interactive exhibits. Be sure to grab a map, as there are exhibits in two buildings as well as outside. Even if the weather is not good for touring outside, there are still plenty of things to look at inside the buildings. The staff were extremely pleasant, helpful, and passionate about their work. The food in the restaurant was very delicious. The gift shop also has lots of neat things for sale and you don't even need admission to shop there if you just needed a quick unique gift for someone. This is by far one of the best things to do in Hunstville. I reccommend this experience for all ages.

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is absolutely incredible. We had an amazing time exploring the exhibits—there’s so much to see that you could easily spend the whole day. The rockets and spacecraft are breathtaking up close, and the interactive displays kept both kids and adults totally engaged. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about space exploration. Whether you’re a space nerd or just curious, this place is an unforgettable stop.

Great place to learn about the US space program. Big bonus were the volunteers that had worked at the Marshall Center. Impressive collection of rockets. Good place for all ages to visit

I visited here with my wife. It had been years since I was here, but I was not disappointed! The displays were awesome and I could have spent days here, rather than a few hours.

This is an homage to Elvis and gives his fans an insight to what his early life as a child was like. The museum and grounds are well done and very well maintained. Its a very serene and peaceful experience. The visitor center is well stocked with Elvis memorabilia and has just about anything you can think of related to his career for a souvenir. It'll take you about two hours to tour the ground and museum. The museum is located close to downtown Tupelo and if you're food you will enjoy your time here.

Although we arent Elvis fans, we stopped here on our way through the area. We had seen the great reviews and decided to give it a shot. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and it's obvious they work hard to keep them that way. Seeing the old buildings was nice, but the fee to go in seemed excessive. It's $12 for one attraction or $2 for all three. The 4 star rating is because ofvthe high price for entry. There is ample free parking on site, along with five spaces for RVs. Our truck and 26' travel trailer fit easily into their space, but it would have been tough backing out of it, had the lot been full. We visited on a Tuesday, so it was mostly empty. There's also an overflow lot that is at the top of the property.

As big Elvis fans, we stopped here on our way through the area. We had seen the great reviews and decided to give it a shot. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and it's obvious they work hard to keep them that way. Seeing the old buildings with big history was nice Fee is $12

Loved going there. Didn't have enough time to go to the top of the hill so will have to go back to see that part but enjoyed what I got to see. I think the vine on the fountain needs to be moved off the dates some so you can see them better but I loved the look and idea of it. It was a nice museum and a good selection in the gift shop.

I love coming to see the Humble beginnings of the King Elvis Presley. From his small home his dad build, To the outhouse they used... Man how lucky we are to have modern plumbing! 😆 🤣 But seriously, Great place to visit.

Got love the King. They have done a wonderful job preserving his birthplace and documenting his rise to King of rock and roll! It's not just a one room home. It's the whole history of his rise to Memphis and Nashville fame.

It was really cool to see where Elvis lived and there is a beautiful mural on the wall that is breathtaking, but if your a true Elvis fan the little store there is amazing, I did not know there was that much stuff with him on it, I mean everything lol super cool place to visit, very clean well taken care of and pretty

A very nice visitor center and museum that covers the entire history of the Natchez Trace Parkway. The drive down the parkway is very picturesque and has numerous scenic pull offs to take pictures. Saw numerous motorcyclist enjoying the nice winding slow drive down the parkway.

If you've never taken Natchez Trace Parkway you are definitely missing out on an adventure. You know me, I'm always up for one. I was on a road trip to Fulton Mississippi with a friend. We took Natchez Trace. There was a slight downfall. IT was dark and on HALLOWEEN. HOLY CRAP. They have campgrounds where you can camp free for up to 14 days. We were tired and wanted to rest. This place is cool in the dark. They have plenty of bathroom facilities, of course, it's a the tourist attraction. Lots of history here. I saw an old graveyard. It was dark, and Halloween so NO, we didn't stop there. We got our camp site. We never exited the truck. 🤣🤣🤣It was so dark you couldn't see around you. We followed the beautiful moon all the way thru. The Trace is a historical site for ancient Natives. Hiking trails, Roadside stops with views, swimming, hiking... Lots of creek water but I'm not sure your allowed in the creek. I definitely know YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE ANY ROCK OUT OF THIS PLACE. You're being filmed, and will be arrested. You can look at the artifacts, but I wouldn't touch em if I were you. It's a beautiful place to go. It's best to go in the daylight. Night time is scary.

Fantastic drive, (444 miles from end to end) and informative, friendly visitors center. Absolutely take the time to watch the 15-minute film that explains what the Natchez Trace actually is. Many stops along the way with historical and scenic significance. One of America's true hidden gems.

Closed due to government shutdown. We were there with three bikers to ride the 440+ miles of the Trace but had no access to any of the Visitor Centers. Exterior bathrooms were open and reasonably clean. Thanks for that! FYI, if you are deciding which direction to ride the Trace, definitely start at the north (near Nashville) end and travel south toward Natchez unless you are a very strong rider. The hundred miles, give or take, on the north end, are killer if you chose poorly like we did and started in Natchez. They call it 'hilly'. 😐 Clever. Unsolicited opinion - Also, plan on staying in better hotels while in Mississippi. We found that the budget priced ones ($85-100/night) can be really dirty. When I told the desk clerk that our room was dirty, she said to me, and I quote, "ALL of our rooms are dirty. There is only one person here, other than me." 😑🤢 I had to pass on that one and go to higher end places to find a clean room.

Very informative and interesting visitors center highlighting the different time periods throughout history and how the trace was used by each group. They also have an interesting 15 minute video talking about how the Trace was preserved. The on-staff rangers were quite helpful. There is also a small gift shop with a good selection of items. Worth a stop, especially since there is a gas station right down the road.

A great starting point to explore the Natchez Trace Parkway. The visitor center is well maintained, and the staff is friendly and eager to share the park’s history and routes. The exhibits are informative, covering nature, culture, and the historical significance of the Trace. Perfect place to get oriented before your trip or enjoy a peaceful stop.

The Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in the history of the roadway. The park rangers are friendly, super knowledgeable and go out of their way to be helpful. Inside is tons of information and displays and even a nice gift shop.
