Fall Weekend Vacation Ideas From Atlanta

Fall's weather rejuvenates the soul and gets our family excited about traveling. The heat of summer is behind us, and the holidays are not yet here. It's the perfect time to get on the road. Here are four ideas for you and your family to enjoy the season.

Camping at Great Smoky Mtn National Park Nothing says Fall quite like camping! Head only a few hours away to escape it all, with waterfalls, trails and affordable family fun. Need a little more excitement? Take a trip into the nearby city of Gatlinburg and explore! If you want to camp without heading to Tennessee, try this list of North Georgia's best camping spots.

Great Wolf Lodge If you just aren't ready for summer to end, then extend the fun at this indoor water park in North Carolina. And keep your ears peeled for more information about the new Great Wolf Lodge opening in LaGrange, Ga in 2018!

Callaway Gardens Not too far from the city is a heavenly escape for all ages. Sleep in comfortable and spacious cottages, but enjoy the perks of the great outdoors. There is hiking, zip-lining, bird shows and so much more. And this is one place you don't want to miss at Christmastime. Fantasy in Lights is our families favorite holiday adventure!

Atlanta Staycation If you want to stay in town, but still enjoy some 'time away,' then head indulge on a suite at one of the city's best hotels, such as Hyatt Regency. Explore the museums you haven't seen since you were a kid, throw a Frisbee at Piedmont Park, or take the kids to Legoland for some educational fun.
