Stone Mountain Park

Stone Mountain Park is full of fun and interesting things to do for the whole family. My favorite thing is the classic Laser Show that is shown nightly during the summer. They also have a nice village themed area that is fun for kids and has some cute shops. Climbing the mountain is a fun thing to do as well, but if you aren't in the best shape you can take the cable car up to the top. more

Stone Mountain is a fantastic place to go for a day. The kids love the train ride around the mountain. There is a nice little village of shops to look around too and a kids play area which you do have to have a ticket for. To get to the top of the mountain you have two fun choices, hike your way up or take a ride in the gondola. Out of town visitors enjoy the museums and antebellum plantation houses in the park too. You could really spend a whole weekend there. The laser light show and fireworks displays in the summer are something to look forward to also! more

Stone Mountain Park is virtually unheard of outside of the South but truly a gem. It's one of the first places we take any out of town visitors as we know there is pretty much something to please anyone. First, there's Stone Mountain itself. The huge granite mountain with the largest granite carving in the world on top. It's of civil war soldiers on horseback. At night in the summer, they have an amazing laser show on the mountain that is true family fun. Secondly, there are a million other things to do at the park. There is shopping, miniture and regular golf, an antebellom mansion to explore, water activities, a petting zoo, and a huge indoor park for kids to play around in. You can simply go for the mountain (which you can hike or take a trolley to the top) and pay one price for your carload of visitors or buy passes (individual or all day inclusive) for all the other myriad of activities. A definite must do. more
