Have you completed the classic Atlanta tourism checklist of Stone Mountain, the Botanical Gardens, and the Aquarium? Here are some new ideas for a fun weekend activity with friends.
Zoo Atlanta
The Atlanta Aquarium is awesome, but when you’re ready to look at non-marine animals, head to Zoo Atlanta. You can have a classic zoo experience, and even see America’s only twin pandas. Get more information at http://www.zooatlanta.org/
The Atlanta Food Truck Park
This is a permanent park with every type of food truck imaginable. It’s open from Wednesday to Sunday, and you can find out the exact food truck line up ahead of time at http://atlantafoodtruckpark.com/foodtrucks/.
The Chattahoochee Nature Center
If you loved your walk up Stone Mountain, you will love this next great outdoor activity. Hike the trails, bring a picnic, and wander through the gardens. It’s sure to be a great time! See their special events calendar here: http://www.atlanta.net/detailPages/detail_page.aspx?accountnum=CHATTAH&
Go to a Braves Game
Baseball season just started, and a day at Turner Field is sure to be great. Check out the schedule: http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/schedule/?c_id=atl
So go out! Get off campus! And try something new in Atlanta!
