Take the Kids to Atlanta!

Whether you're from the Atlanta area or just visiting, you'll find a wealth of fun, family-oriented activities around Atlanta. Being a major metropolitan city, Atlanta offers a wide variety of activities for the whole family. Check out these HOTlanta activities:

Georgia Aquarium - www.georgiaaquarium.org

Forget about the last aquarium you visited. If you haven't seen the Georgia Aquarium, you haven't seen anything yet. At this aquarium, visitors are treated to rare sights all at very close proximity to the exhibit animals and thrills. Various sections such as the Georgia Explorer delight children as they (shh!) learn by touching sea light indigenous to Georgia. Moving on, the natural flow of the layout of the aquarium will take visitors around to the Cold Water Quest. Have a seat and enjoy watching the beluga whales as they skim next to the towering wall separating them from their human visitors. After thrilling to the whales and the sharks, take the kids upstairs to the 4D Theatre to watch the educational and entertaining show, Deepo's Undersea 3D Wondershow.

Stone Mountain - www.stonemountainpark.com

Needing some space for the kids to burn off energy? Then head over to Stone Mountain Park. Over three thousand acres are centered around the world's largest piece of exposed granite. But that's not the park's only attraction. Kids can enjoy a variety of fun activities including the Treehouse Challenge of dueling tree houses, the Summit Skyride where a high-speed cable car transports guests more than 800 feet to the top of the mountain, and The Great Barn where kids can bounce, slide and jump on super slides and trampoline floors and play over sixty-five interactive games. Stone Mountain park offers laser shows, festivals, and holiday events, most of which happens all year long.
