trickykittySo, Mom and the boys are asking about going somewhere besides San Antonio this year for our annual summer vacation. Since we have Six Flags passes, we're looking at other cities with Six Flags, and the roulette wheel has so far settled on Atlanta, GA.
Now I'm looking at things to do while we're there. Feel free to provide suggestions.
One thing I found just zooming in on Google Maps is The Vortex, but of course it's just a bar with coronary bypass burgers and 21+ age restriction. (At least in San Antonio our hotel is right next door to a Brick House that is kid friendly until 10pm.) I just got a kick out of the facade, and with middle nephew being a huge Rick and Morty fan....well, maybe we could at least do a drive-by for a photo-op.
Mom mentioned the Coca-Cola museum, I found the Center for Puppetry Arts, and bossman recommends Stone Mountain Park, which looks huge, and I know the boys and I all like the high ropes jungle gyms.

Places the family visited when I was a kid:

The gifted teacher took the class up to Atlanta to see this and we got locked in behind the gates after closing time in the forest walk area. There were lots of elevated wooden walking platforms, so this seems most right.
Something I'd recommend but is way further down south: I-75, exit once you hit Cordele, and head west down US 280 until you get to Americus. Then go north on 49 following the signs to get to the Andersonville National Monument and see a Confederate POW camp. One time we went and found it was closed down since the federal government couldn't agree to a budget. Really, though, any Civil War museums in Georgia should be okay, including Atlanta's, but here with all the walking and the tours were more real somehow here. Also the gift shop had cool pocket knives for sale.
