Wonderful theatre! I’ve seen a few musicals here and I’m always impressed by the quality of the sets and performances. I love that they have live orchestras as well!
This place is one of the best theaters in the entire Atlanta area. My wife and I have seen a few shows here and we are always pleased. We caught the last show on the series “Waitress”. It was truly moving and inspirational. Cast was very talented. The theatre staff extremely helpful.
Last night was our first visit to the Aurora Theatre. We went to see a preview of The Wiz and it was absolutely amazing! From the warm customer service and convenient parking to the tasty concessions, beautiful artwork, & outstanding performance, everything was top tier. It’s such a treat to enjoy a Broadway-quality show without having to drive into the city!
I've taken my 8 year old son here to see the holiday juggling show and now the summer break magic show. Both were excellent! He was laughing and enjoying himself the whole time! The venue was clean, the staff at the ticket desk were very kind and helpful, clean restrooms, free parking, and a good, clean, kid friendly show! Will definitely be returning for more children's programs!
Wonderful theatre, always a great show. Buy a season pass, well worth it! Plus, In the Heights is coming back in May 2026
Surprised my sister with tickets to see the Wiz here. Amazing venue, friendly staff and free parking.
Such a gem in Lawrenceville... we saw The Wiz and it made us laugh a couple of times. The cast was great and everything flowed smoothly. They gave the story their own flavor which was such fun. I'd go back for another play.
Stunning theater in the heart of Lawrenceville. It’s big and beautiful, with a cute interior and a small concessions stand. I think just about any seat in this theater would be great…it’s not too big and not too small. A great size and shape for a community theater! Beautiful lighting and sound…wonderful orchestra!!!

Slide 1 of 8
My first visit to Coolray Field in Buford was a truly memorable experience—one that blended community, celebration, and America’s favorite pastime in the most meaningful way. Our group from Mission Agape had the distinct honor of being invited to participate in a special event held in celebration of AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) Heritage Month this May. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just an ordinary ballgame—it was a heartfelt gathering of people from all walks of life, coming together to recognize and celebrate the rich cultural diversity that strengthens our communities. Before the game, we were warmly welcomed at the Duck Club inside the stadium—a VIP lounge offering a great view and cozy atmosphere. There, we enjoyed a beautifully arranged catered dinner, and had the opportunity to meet and mingle with local leaders, government officials, and political dignitaries, along with their families. These meaningful conversations were a reminder of the power of shared mission and cultural appreciation. After a stormy afternoon, the skies cleared just in time for the Gwinnett Stripers minor league baseball game. The fresh, post-rain air and vibrant sunset created the perfect backdrop for an evening at the ballpark. The energy in the stadium was lively but relaxed—a community of fans cheering, laughing, and simply enjoying the game together. The Stripers put on a great show, and even for those of us less familiar with minor league baseball, the excitement was contagious. The whole experience—from the warm hospitality to the inspiring conversations, from the baseball to the clear, post-storm sky—made it an evening I’ll remember fondly. Thank you to Coolray Field and the event organizers for making us feel so welcomed. It was a privilege to be part of this AAPI Heritage Month celebration, and I hope to return again soon—for another game, more great company, and the sense of unity that nights like this create.
Amazing venue! Our Adult Baseball League, has our Annual Banquet there, Atlanta Men's Baseball Association, and Cool Ray hosts it for us. Staff is very professional and courteous! We always have a wonderful time! Beautiful atmosphere!
This is an excellent park to come watch a baseball game without the busyness or hustle bustle of a major league park. Parking is $12 and there are plenty of food and snack options. Great seats can be had for a reasonable price and the baseball action is very fun to watch and cheer on. So glad this stadium is in Buford and recommend you check out a game if you haven't already. 4.5 stars rounded up!
Amazing ballpark to watch a game. High school friends’ son was on the visiting teams so we drove down from South Carolina for the day to see him play! Loved the stadium, atmosphere and the overall entertainment experience! Thank you!
Went for the fourth of july game and it was amazing!! There were plenty of free parking as long as you are willing to wait patiently to get in the lot. Tons of food options including dipping dots, hotdogs, beer, cocktails and anything you can think of. I was here a decade ago and was surprised by all the new apartments built nearby. But it was cool to see people watching from their balconies. Will be back for a game for sure!!
An Awesome Baseball Stadium! A++++ Very clean, plenty of parking, very friendly staff. Plenty of food options and a huge gift shop.
Great game. Very calm and reserved audience. Prices of food is high, most of the restaurants were closed. More than enough parking.
We attended our first game here. It was clean and well kept up. Parking was easy and the food was juat okay. The tickets were a little pricey after Ticket master got their cut, but overall a great experience.

Nature & Parks
700-acre park featuring a lake for fishing & boating, plus horseback riding & biking trails.
Slide 1 of 8
One of my favourite places to walk; beautiful lake views and several trails to choose from. There are also a number of nice, secluded spots to sit on the edge of the lake. Water levels on the lakes seem low at the moment though so large sections were dried out.
Awesome park for walks, runs and photography. Cant wait to see the new projects they are working on. Will definitely continue going to see what else I can capture with my camera and drone.
Tribble Mill Park is a beautiful place featuring a spacious playground and a well-equipped children’s play area. The park also offers pavilions that are ideal for picnics and gatherings. There’s a hidden waterfall, but the narrow, bushy trail leading to it can be a little tricky to find.
Has changed alot since I started going there, was a best kept secret but now everyone knows! Great paths to walk and easier to get to than before. Very family friendly live this place always have!
Slipped and fell on a slippery rock (Ouch!) while gong near the shoals, so be careful! Other than that, it's pretty much like any other Gwinnett Park.
This is a great course for a walk. The river and forest blend together beautifully, making it the perfect spot for a stroll.
Beautiful park. Many trails!! My new happy place!
My new favorite spot! Calm walks, playground, nature connection, excellent for families and dogs!🌱

This vintage wedding venue is beautiful and special. The historic details made our ceremony so unique and memorable. photo credit Erica Aitken Photography
Perfect small wedding venue. Everything was set up beautifully, and it was so nice that pretty much the only thing we had to worry about on our wedding day was showing up on time. The staff were super kind and helpful. The turret balcony was the perfect photo location!
Excellent place to visit! The artwork was amazing. Mr. Ruiz was kind enough to share some knowledge about the Military Displays when he saw us checking it out!
Tour of Venue for Wedding. The high ceilings, and wide hallways were beautiful. I love to look and feel of the places. Hosting the wedding and reception indoors is an option and the Courtroom is large and beautiful. I see so much potential in this place. Unfortunately, the parking is not close by, the venue is open to the public during curtain hours and if your function is during the holiday you'll have to work with or around the decorations that have been put in place. Which could save you a small fortune on decorating yourself. The venue is also very affordable compared to other venues near by. Definitely worth seeing
Took my 10 yr old grandson to see all of the military memorabilia in the Veterans Museum. There were 2 older gentlemen that talked to him about their military careers and explained some of the exhibits. I highly recommend visiting.
Visited the Gwinnett County Veterans Memorial Museum, inside this historic building. There's a lot of history here that you just can't find anywhere else. Not even Google.
Halloween mass wedding was really neat. I attended as a guest and would recommend it. I loved the effort put into the decor, service and costumes. Public parking was right around the corner.
This is a great piece of Lawrenceville history! The woodwork is beautiful and there is so much information inside about our veterans. We went for the lighting of the Christmas tree and during the holidays, the county goes over the top with decorations! There are Christmas trees in each room and each room has a different theme. There is no diversity in the decorations as all of it is focused on Christmas but each tree is classy and gorgeous. It is located in downtown Lawrenceville and free to the public. This is also a beautiful spot for weddings, family portraits and other photo opportunities. I recommend walking through if you have the chance and then continue waking around downtown Lawrenceville because it is a wonderful city to be in!

Fun & Games
Scenic spot featuring a flying-disc golf course, trails, fishing, a horseshoe pit & a playground.
Slide 1 of 8
This park was very beautiful and shaded by large trees. The environment was good and safe for women. It has a separate bike lane. Also you will find pavilions for picnics there.
Alexander Park is a very active and well-kept park. It has great walking trails, open spaces, and a nice pond that makes it really peaceful. Perfect spot for a walk, jog, or just to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
This is my favorite park for disc golf! The course has a great layout. It’s a good walk, not too intense, and the holes are well-designed for solid distance throws. It’s especially beginner-friendly, making it perfect for learning or just having a relaxed round.🌳🥏
I bring my dog there to play with other dogs. This park is usually great for that! Yes, there are people sitting on a bench and on their phones. There are also as many people out in the field playing with their dogs and encouraging their dogs to play with the other dogs.
Alexander Park offers a delightful retreat with its well-maintained grounds and ample amenities. The park's expansive walking trails are ideal for both leisurely strolls and rigorous jogs, catering to fitness enthusiasts and casual walkers alike. The lake, although rather small with only two viewpoints, provides a serene backdrop perfect for a peaceful afternoon by the water. One of the highlights of Alexander Park is its well-equipped playground, which ensures children have a safe and enjoyable environment to play. Additionally, the disc golf course offers a unique recreational opportunity for visitors of all ages, though it is often shared with those picnicking or strolling, which can sometimes lead to congestion. The park also features multiple picnic pavilions, making it a suitable venue for family gatherings and social events. Though the park is generally well-kept, occasional overcrowding on weekends can detract from its tranquility. Nevertheless, the combination of diverse amenities, picturesque landscapes, and convenient location makes Alexander Park a commendable choice for outdoor activities and relaxation.
Great park and I love coming here. But lately there have been cars driving to one particular pavilion via grass and walking path. I literally had a car today (5/3/2025) driving at me while waking on the walking path, and one car right behind me following me! Another time there was a lady driving on the main sidewalk! Is anyone monitoring activity at these pavilions?
It a nice big park perfect for running or walking. Has nice shaded area as well. The playground is nice the bathroom are ok for public restrooms. There is a dog park and alot of picnic places with tables.
I must say, the park truly offers a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The lush greenery and well-maintained pathways invite peaceful strolls and moments of reflection. I find myself captivated by the beautiful flowers and the gentle sounds of nature surrounding me. The park's open spaces are perfect for relaxation, allowing me to unwind and soak in the tranquil atmosphere. Overall, it's an excellent place to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Great fun with the kids. The jousting and sword fighting was really good and the Falcon made some close flying circles. The wife loved the dancing horse while I really thought the food was up to standard!
My family and I went to see The Fantastic 4 movie yesterday. The movie was very good. My family and I always enjoy going to the movies at Sugarloaf Mills. Customer service is good. The food is good. The bathrooms are clean. Buying our tickets online was a breeze. You can watch the movies, and if you want to go play some games inside the movie theater area, they have a little arcade game area for the kids. They also have a bar area as well called MacGuffins, where you can have a drink while you wait for your movie to start. You can also order food ahead of time so that by the time you get to the movies, you can pick it up or have it brought to you... I believe. Overall, we love this location because the tickets tend to be more affordable when compared to other locations, and we can walk around the mall afterward or do some shopping.
It’s hard to believe that Sugarloaf Mills is greater than 20 years old. I used the frequent the mall many times since it first opened back in 2003 when it was called Discover Mills after the Discover credit card. Visited the mall recently during a weekday and even though malls have been on a decline the past 10 years, it’s safe to say that this one thankfully is not in one. Many tenants since opening day are still here like the Bass Pro Shop, Books A Million and the AMC Theater. The food court also has a variety of options to choose from including a Korean restaurant. The Medieval Times location is still going strong after 17 years. Overall, a great location to shop, eat or hangout with family and friends.
This is a pretty good mall. The malls where we are from in Virginia are severely lacking to the point we don't even bother going to them. I'm glad it has a Bass Pro since the kids enjoy walking through there. Almost all the store spots are filled and the food court is great. There are plenty of cheap options as well as the obligatory Chinese. It's clean and the workers keep the dining area clean as well. I appreciate the family bathrooms since that's far easier for us with 5 young kids. We try to come here every time we're town visiting family.
This mall has a Lego store and a small Minido store. My kids love these. It is a Simon Mall, so it is similar to other Simon Malls. It has a nice food court with plenty of options.
I had a great experience visiting Sugarloaf Mills in Lawrenceville. It’s a large, indoor outlet-style mall that offers a little bit of everything—shopping, dining, and entertainment—all under one roof. What I really appreciated was how spacious and clean the mall was, with wide walkways, clear signage, and plenty of places to sit and relax throughout the day. The variety of stores was impressive. There are a mix of outlet favorites like Nike, Adidas, and H&M, along with unique specialty shops and locally owned businesses that add character to the mall. Whether you're shopping for clothes, electronics, home goods, or just browsing, there’s a wide selection to choose from and often some great deals to be found. Beyond shopping, Sugarloaf Mills also offers a fun entertainment experience. There's a movie theater, an arcade, and even indoor attractions like a bounce park and mini golf, which makes it great for families or a casual day out. The mall never felt too crowded or overwhelming, even on weekends. Food options were solid too, with a decent-sized food court and several sit-down restaurants. Whether you're in the mood for a quick snack or a full meal, there’s something to satisfy every craving.
I went to visit my nieces in Winnipeg, Canada and we decided to go and celebrate a birthday at this BBQ joint. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lit.
I always have a great time here! There's great stores, boba tea, I love the movie theater, arcade, and medieval times! Wish there was more vegan food though. The Greek place has a few options and they're very tasty! I hope this place thrives for years to come!
