Definitely check this one out if you're in Atlanta ! It's fun, family friendly , you can get a train ride and it offers spectacular views over the city . Oh, and stick around for the lasershow after dark

HISTORY

Stone Mountain was first used as a meeting place for members of the Cherokee and Creek Nations.

The hike up the mountain is somewhat strenuous in places but still a quick hike . It took us 37 minutes with a few rests in between to take in the surrounding views . Take the skylift!

Nicole Rovig

A Beautiful, Natural wonder! Park in the grass on the side of the Inn to avoid the parking lot traffic after the laser show . Grab a great dinner at the Golf Club .

Majed Alashari

Great park to walk and to have picnic . Many beautiful places to spend the day on. Admission ticket is 20$ per vehicle. Cable car is 15$ per person.

Thelocaltripper

This is just a 30 min drive from downtown Atlanta ! What an awesome place, full of activities that you probably won't be able to do in one day. Great place for pictures and I spotted some deers!

The Ritz-Carlton

Whether you hike or take the cable car , get the best views of Atlanta from the top of Stone Mountain. Look southwest for grand views of Atlanta and north to where the Blue Ridge Mountain range begins.

Sarah Miller

Great place to take kids and teens. With lots of attractions , this Park is fun, historic, and family friendly . But be cautious when visiting during holidays or on the weekends due to big crowds.

Cat W.

The best part of the park is walking up the mountain . And the gum tree , of course! (Even though we all know that it's just a telephone pole with a lot of gum stuck to it.)

MsTiffany_

You can hike the mountain or go around it, either is a good workout. Beautiful trails and lake and lots to do. Get there early for parking .

Anjali Mirchandani

 Take the skyride and enjoy the views from the top of the mountain or take the train ride. The laser show in the evening attracts large crowds.The flame cannons add more sizzle to the show. 

Tigerlilly

it’s very nice to walk up, but I’m pretty afraid of hights, but when you get to the top the view is beautiful. :)

Payal Patel-Malbari

Buy the annual pass. Hike up the mtn. It is windy on top so wear appropriate clothes . Do NOT try to hike when it's raining/sprinkling. It gets SOO slippery. Bike riding is also fun and challenging.

Na Na B.

I love a good historic site , it was fun for the whole family, Laser light show, kettle corn , sausage and onions , and much much more... this will always be the best park to chill out at.

The Ritz-Carlton

Stone Mountain Park is home to the world’s largest piece of exposed granite, and offers an array of fall festivals for families to enjoy.

J.W. Moeller

If you're in the Atlanta area, this is definitely a great place to check out. The largest bas-relief in world (bigger than Rushmore!) plus a LOT of other fun things to check out!

Atlanta

As the weather gets warmer, enjoy a beautiful day outdoors. Take your family to Stone Mountain Park for hiking , picnics and other fun adventures.

kyle rogers

Free to get in and see the monument . Bring your own snacks ! Events require admission. Long wait a for sky hike (worth it). Barn is great for all ages. Loved the Duck boat (ask for Capt Herald) !

Joshua Herring

Wonderful and beautiful place to visit. Always has something going on other than their regular attractions . A must go for everyone!

Serhii Lutsko

Cool park , really worth to visit. Attractions are mostly for children but skyride , train and trail are good enough for adults as well

Thomas Corrao

Took the tram to the top of the mountain and hiked back down. A good two mile walk down hill . Loved this place.

Occupy My Family ATL

This weekend's Yellow Daisy Festival is FREE to attend once you've paid your gate admission! It's consistently voted one of the top five arts & crafts shows in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine.

Rodrigo Charnichart

This is an awesome mountain ! If you go to Georgia, you must explore this beautiful place !

Nicky Smith

Loved this place. It was nice to get away from the city and spend some time at this park .

Jimmy James

Created a scenic 7.6 mile loop around the mountain today, Left out of walk up parking lot , Right on road to evergreen, Left @ the main entrance, Left @ Plantation Road , Right back to walk up lot. :)

Pat Rudolph

Family friendly day at Snow Mountain . The lines moved surprisingly fast. Everybody left tired and happy.

Jermaine Johnson

the view on top of the mountain at night is beutiful. Make sure you bring a flashlight when coming down. And take the gravel trail to be safe.

Jeremy Fischler

Laser show , Christmas Town , and the mountain trails are awesome! Careful of the funnel cakes , though... The whole family got sick ????

Veda

Go to the museum at the bottom of the hike up trail ! It's very informative and fun for the whole family. You learn history and there are interactive activities for the youngsters....a real treat!

Sean Norton

Thr climb up was great exercise. The ride back down was cool. Great lookouts all over the mountain .

Nicky Smith

Wonderful park ! Love the view from the top of the mountain and the drive around the lake .

Alfred Kateeb

A place for family & individuals to spend a nice time and relaxing weekend ... must visit if you are in Atlanta

Scott Murphy

Check out the view from the back side of the top. It's public, and accessible, you just have to walk around the end of the outside walkway on the west end of the building!

Zipcar

The perfect Ziptrip destination for nature lovers and lasershow enthusiasts alike. (Take the Summit Skyride to the top of Stone Mountain for a spectacular view of the Atlanta Skyline.)

Mary Namestnik

Pow Wow was amazing! The gift shop was a bust.

Benjamin Szweda

Top of the mountain views are worth it but except long line . Buy tickets online. Buy express/skip the line passes.

Jacquelyn Clair

You only need a pass if you go on attractions (climbing gym , lift to top of stone mountain etc.) otherwise, just pay for parking $10 and explore.

Michael Brookhart

A relaxing place with lots of things to do if nature just is not your thing. Try going to Crossroads, see the Laser Show , or hike the mountain for a spectacular view .

Explore Georgia

Visit the Stone Mountain Museum to learn more about the mountain 's carving, the Civil War and the open air Antebellum Plantation and Farmyard.

Andrea Grawey

Taking a walk around the base of the mountain is quite a beautiful experience make sure to get next to the water :)

Victor Scott

The park is amazing. A must go! Enjoy all day and stay for the laser show !

Nikki Foster

Great for a walk, run, or hike . Plenty of wildlife around and very scenic nature.

Mary Allen

Had a fun time we went up to the top of the mountain and it was amazing 1600 something feet above sea level

Joy Thomas

Just finished the 5-mile loop! Go early before the crowd gets in:) Best run there is with just the right amount of hills :)
