Things To Do
Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park
Native Americans first came here during the Paleo-Indian period to hunt Ice Age mammals. Several cultures occupied this land for thousands of years, each creating their own history here. The Mississippian culture arrived here around 900CE and constructed mounds for the elite members of their society. Today the mounds remain for all to see and explore.
Museum of Arts and Sciences
Looking for something fun to do with the kids? The Museum of Arts and Sciences contains lots of hands on activities for the kiddos, a small zoo, a planetarium, and a it features a fossilized whale said to be more than 40 million years old!
Situation Room
Pick your brain in one of the best escape rooms in Georgia! The Situation Room, location just a few blocks from the wedding venue, has great options for small and large groups. Kaitlin planned a surprise birthday party for Jamie here one year! Their group consisted of engineers, lawyers, and technology consultants, and they barely escaped with only 15 seconds left. Good luck!
