The Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail

Atlanta Botanical Gardens
ACTIVITY - We got engaged at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. They currently have the Alice and Wonderland Exhibit up.
Fun Spot America Theme Parks — Atlanta
ACTIVITY - Ashley grew up going to this local "theme park" designed with kids in mind. Fun fact it use to be called Dixieland.
Stone Mountain Park

They have lots to keep busy: Dinosaur Explore | Dinotorium | 4D Theater | Mini-Golf | Scenic Railroad | Summit Skyride Dan, and Ashley hiked Stone Mountain with Louie on the day they got engaged :)
Truist Park
ACTIVITY- Dan is a huge Atlanta Braves Fan. You can tour the stadium, for inside views of the entire stadium, or go see a game (The Pirates are in town!). Friday night games feature fireworks! You can find tickets on Stubhub.com If you go, we recommend eating at Superica prior to the game, or grabbing an H&F burger (an ATL staple).
Topgolf
ACTIVITY- Top Golf features fun golf games with a full service bar and restaurant (although Ashley doesn't recommend the food).
Owens and Hull at Grand Champion
FOOD- This is Ashley's Brother's BBQ restaurant. We may be biased, but we do think its hands down the best. Try to go early, or let Ashley know you going as he tends to sell out early in the day. (No reservations) $$
