Atlanta—The temperature is rising, beckoning you to go back outside. Instead of heading to the same places you went during winter, why not explore some new places in Georgia?
Thrillist listed about a dozen of the most beautiful places in Georgia, and here are three you might not know about.
Rock City Gardens
Rock City is more than just rocks. The Rock City Gardens in Lookout Mountain feature more than 400 native species of plants and trees, with something blooming all year.
Entry is currently timed in 15-minute intervals, and tickets are $26.95 for adults and $16.95 for ages 3-12. The Gardens recommend buying your tickets in advance, because slots can sell out quickly. Bordering its sister town of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, Lookout Mountain, Georgia, is part of the Chattanooga metropolitan area. If you live in Atlanta, Rock City is close enough that you might want to consider a season pass, which is $53 for adults and $33 for children; or an Ultimate VIP season pass, which is $68 for adults and $43 for children. Don’t forget to bring your four-legged family members, who are welcome….
