Stone Mountain Park

Stone Moun­tain Park in Geor­gia is voted the num­ber one for fun things to do in Atlanta and the best bet for fam­ily fun! Dis­cover 3200 acres of raw beauty in Stone Moun­tain Park and its his­tory along with its many rides and attractions.

Stone Moun­tain is open year round and is cen­tered around the perime­ter of the largest out­crop­pings and most incred­i­ble masses of gran­ite in the world.

One of our favorite kids attrac­tions is the new Sky­Hike where you can test your hik­ing skills on dif­fer­ent lev­els from 12 to 40 feet above the ground. You can test your bal­ance skills while cross­ing a sin­gle rope bridge high up while secured by an over­head safety sys­tem. Sky­hike in Stone Moun­tain Park is one of the coolest and fun things to do with your kids in Atlanta!

Take a high speed cable car ride on Sum­mit Skyride to the top of Stone Moun­tain. Here you will not only get a spetac­u­lar view of the Con­fed­er­ate Memo­r­ial Carv­ing of Jef­fer­son Davis, Thomas A. “Stonewall” Jack­son and Robert E. Lee. It is the largest bas-relief carv­ing in the world. Ini­tially, upon reach­ing the sum­mit, one gets the feel­ing their on another planet. On a clear day vis­i­tors can see Ken­ne­saw Moun­tain, the Appalachian Moun­tains, and majes­tic views of Down­town and Mid­town Atlanta.

Won­der at the 40 minute long Laser­show Spec­tac­u­lar– the world’s longest run­ning laser­show. With­out a doubt, the Stone Moun­tain Laser Show is one of the most enter­tain­ing attrac­tions in all of Atlanta and a must for every­one. This musi­cally chore­o­graphed state-of-the-art graph­ics show­case starts around dusk everynight dur­ing the sum­mer on the “great lawn”. The show ends with an impres­sive fire­works finale.

Out­door entu­si­asts can enjoy the largest camp­ground in Geor­gia with fif­teen miles of hik­ing trails, boat­ing, fish­ing, bicy­cling and golf. If camp­ing is your style, Stone Moun­tain Park Camp­ground offers 441 wooded sites includ­ing 247 par­tial hook-ups(with water and elec­tric­ity), 147 full hook-ups and 47 prim­i­tive tent sites .

Other fam­ily fun attrac­tions include a five mile ride on the Scenic Rail­road, the 1800’s town of Cross­roads, and travel the River­boat Cruise aboard the Scar­let O’Hara on Stone Moun­tain Lake. In the win­ter be sure to check out Stone Mountain’s newest and coolest cre­ation “Snow Moun­tain”. Excite­ment, adven­ture, lots of activ­i­ties and nat­ural beauty for the entire fam­ily is why Atlanta­GA­To­day states that Stone Moun­tain Park is the Num­ber One Attrac­tion in Georgia!
