Stone Mountain Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Located just 15 miles outside the metropolis of Atlanta<\/a><\/strong>, Stone Mountain Park<\/a> offers families a variety of activities, attractions, natural beauty and fun!\u00a0 The park is located on 3,200 acres of beautiful, lush terrain, just perfect for something as small as an afternoon picnic, or a full day of attractions and activities.
\nThe park\u2019s newest attraction, Geyser Towers, offers families a chance to beat the heat while traveling through an aerial obstacle course made up of ropes, suspension bridges and climbing features.\u00a0 A geyser shoots water and mist up into the air:\u00a0 stand in its path for a refreshing cool spray.\u00a0 There are plenty of places for observation that don\u2019t require you to get wet.\u00a0 If you aren\u2019t interested in getting wet, head to the Sky Hike, a rope suspension course boasting over a quarter mile of track.\u00a0 Three courses at varying heights provide opportunity for both the timid and the brave to take a swing at this family-friendly hot spot!
\nFor a cultural look back in time, head to the Antebellum Plantation and Farmyard, which takes you and your kids back in time a few hundred years.\u00a0 The Plantation consists of 17 original 18th and 19th century Georgia homes and buildings, an extensive collection of furniture and decorations, and a petting zoo.
\nBuilt just for families with kids under 12, the Great Barn is a family\u2019s go-to spot!\u00a0 Explore the 4-story barn (equipped with a refreshing air-conditioner!), slides, trampolines, climbing structures and more than 65 interactive games.
\nLive shows, boat tours, a Summit Skyride taking guests 825 up to the top of Stone Mountain, a Scenic Railroad, mini-golf and many more attractions, including the famous Lasershow Spectacular (seen by over 25 million people!) round out an amazing family-fun experience at Stone Mountain Park.
\nIf you need a place to stay, you have plenty of options:\u00a0 the Marriott Stone Mountain Inn and Evergreen Marriott resort are located within walking distance of the above attractions and offer numerous deals and ticket plans for traveling families<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 If roughing it is more your style, make reservations at the Stone Mountain Park Campground<\/a>, Georgia\u2019s largest campground, starting at just $25\/night.
\nAll day attraction passes start at $22 for kids and $28 for adults.
\nAttraction hours and openings vary by season.<\/p>\n
