GGA Dwarf Goat Yoga

Our goat hike with GGA Dwarf Goat Yoga was absolutely the best!  We wanted a unique,  memorable experience for a birthday, and it couldn't have been better.  Our guides Brandon and Spencer are caring, careful, compassionate people who really gave their all to make the day special.  And of course we will always remember Glitch and Grandaddy, our goat friends.

Highest recommendation.

Had the best time here! We signed up for the sunset yoga as first timers who had never done yoga before. The setting was beautiful and idyllic, and the instructor was so accommodating for all experience levels. Of course the stars of the show were the incredibly adorable baby goats, which we got a lot of time to interact with and take pics of. Hoping to come back really soon!

I went with a friend two days ago for yoga with goats in Tucker, Ga. It exceeded my expectations! The dwarf  goats were so cute, friendly and interacted delightfully with us! Sage was the perfect yoga instructor for this setting! GiGi was the best host and a wealth of information about the goats. The farm was a special home for the goats and their mothers. I recommend yoga with goats to everyone no matter what their yoga level is!

We had a wonderful experience. There was more goat time than yoga but we were fine with that. The baby goats were absolutely precious. The vibe of the whole place was very relaxed and comfortable. Young was our instructor and he was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely visit again.

I was here yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the goat yoga experience! We learned about the goats and their sanctuary while stretching and doing yoga poses. The goats are sooo friendly and cute! You get time to pet and take pictures too. Definitely will be back!

Wild Animal Safari - Pine Mountain, Georgia

Visited here for my daughters birthday because she loves animals. She had the best time of her life. We rented a vehicle so we could travel at our own pace. I would recommend renting a car, very long lines for the buses.

On the vehicles there are bars on the windows so the animals can’t stick their heads all the way in. Do not drive your own car, if it is an option.

It took us about 2 hours to go through the entire ride. We ran out of food by the end because we couldn’t tell any of the animals no. Definitely worth it, if you’ve never been.

Our tour guide, bus driver, I think his name was chase? Or Jackson? The Canadian guy... Super cool, hilarious, great with kids, & was full of interesting facts and a lot of knowledge. The 1 hr drive thru was full of animals. Our favorite part was the giraffe. 1 bag of food lasted us through the walk about feeding the goats & the Safari. The walk through portion with the small zoo was pretty neat, and very small. The lady in the gift shop also had a sense of humor, had patience with all the small children in there running wild in the toy section, and was very nice. I will say, $5 for 1 jerky stick, $8 for a magnet, was a little pricey in my eyes, but that's just me squeaking.. it was a good time, and I can't recommend the bus driver tour guide from Canada...

Awesome for a trip with the family! I recommend getting there close to when they open and getting a ride on the bus early. The information is good and the drivers are amusing.
After the ride through, the food court has a nice if limited selection so it's a solid option.
The walking park is short, but we enjoyed the walk through before we took one last ride on the bus tour before leaving.
It was a great day trip and the whole family enjoyed it. I'd absolutely go back again.

We had a marvelous time for my wife's birthday at Wild Animal Safari! They have so many animals and they're all incredibly friendly. Would highly recommend taking the kids here, or even just go on safari by yourself with a real nice camera. Make sure to buy extra animal food. We bought FOUR bags and ran out of feed before we even made it halfway through the driving tour.

We absolutely loved the Wild Animal Safari! Our family of 5 rode on the free bus tour and I think it's the best way for everyone to enjoy it. I love that 99% of the animals are able to roam freely on the 300 plus acres (might be more than that!). The ones that are not free are animals you would not want loose. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the young lady who gave us our tour. Our kids really loved being able to feed the animals and pet some of them too. Definitely worth a visit!

Creation Kingdom Zoo

This Zoo was a very enjoyable experience. The animals were very active and healthy. We enjoyed interacting with them and found the grounds clean and natural. There are hills and requires a good bit of walking but trails are well kept and easy to follow. Great place to take kids to learn about animals and nature. We had a great time and recommend this zoo highly!

This place is awesome. I would recommend bringing your family. The workers here are extremely friendly. The selection of wildlife to see is good as well.

Please do NOT let any of the negative reviews on here stop you from checking this zoo out. I have been to so many zoos in my life and this is truly one of my favorites. I have been here 4 or 5 times now within the last year. It’s not huge, but it’s perfect. I have brought my stroller every single time that I’ve come to this zoo and yes it may be a little “hard” to climb up some of the spots with a stroller but it’s great exercise and well worth it. My favorite part of this zoo is how it’s very “hands on”. I LOVE getting to feed the primates and it’s neat getting to feed the hoofed animals too. And of course Tucker the giraffe is the absolute best. He’s so cute and full of personality and I love that you can get up close and interact with him. I went today to this zoo with my husband and daughter and we had such a blast! Parking was great and the staff was great and the bathrooms have always been clean, I love the little hand washing station  outside of the bathrooms! Oh and the gift shop is great too. I can’t say enough about this zoo, I truly love it and I’m so thankful that I’m only an hour away from it. Can’t wait to visit again. 😁

We absolutely love visiting here! This was our first time bringing our daughter and she had a blast! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and plenty of animals to keep you entertained. Thank you all!!

Great little zoo,  enjoyed being able to get close to animals and my kids really enjoyed the experience.

Stone Mountain Park Campground

Beautiful park, comfortable and pleasant places.  Very friendly staff. We were in the Blue Sites. Beautiful views on this edge.  There needs to be a little renovation to the bathrooms however they were kept clean.  And also on the road.  We couldn't climb the stone mountain due to a family mishap and we had to leave early.  We will surely return and enjoy its natural beauty and attractions even more.  Here I share some photos.

The laser light show was really good. The kids loved it. The drone show was awesome. Not alot to do at the amusement park but still a lot of family fun. Campground was perfect I felt. Easy to set up. Easy to find the campsite . Had a good view.  I have a 38 ft camper and had plenty of room to set up in camp site with plenty of room around camper.

My husband and I  have been going to Stone Mountain  Campground  since 2018. It started out just a one-time visit. But  the first visit, my husband had two grandma seizures and ended up in Atlanta Trama Center for a week. When it came time to leave the camp ground. They took me in like family.  I was staying in a yurt. They made sure I was safe until I  could take my husband home just like family. We come back every year and are still treated the same. Nice, quiet, family oriented, There are sites for tents, small and large campers, and yurts. Also, there are fire pits and charcoal grills. On site, there's  a small store  for things you might have forgotten or drinks ,wood, etc. A big screen TV on site to watch and a swimming pool. It sat right off of Stone Mountain Lake beautiful view. Right beside the Camp ground is is Stone Mountain.  If you like to camp, this is a must. You won't  regret it.

One of our favorite campgrounds! Beautiful views, friendly staff, clean shower and restroom facilities. Close to many restaurants. Great hiking and kayaking

We stayed here for about 5 days in late July, and the campground itself was peaceful, and next to the lake. It wasn't like some campgrounds that have a water park etc. It was really peaceful and comfortable. The park, including the mountain, the lake, the kayaking and scenery have more than enough to keep a family with kids very much occupied and happily entertained. Each site had a fire ring, and it was a really great experience for us. Would recommend if you're looking for a peaceful and beautiful camping experience with plenty to do. 👍🏼

Pine Mountain RV Resort

Thanks to Jade my husband and I had an amazing weekend. When I called to make reservations for camping  she went above and beyond helping me plan our trip. She was such a joy to meet when we checked in. She was very quick to catch my sense of humor and we connected instantly. Thank you Jade for making my birthday getaway so special.

We visited our cousins who were parked here. Love the area and the laid-back atmosphere.  Loved the festival they had ,music awesome,  loved the band. People are very friendly and easy to carry on a conversation with. The park is very clean and well kept. The sites are spacious and staff nice. The town is close so doing some sightseeing and shopping is easily accessible.  Loved it all!

Very low value for the price. We paid 150.00 a night for a yurt...no refrig, no microwave, shared bathroom facilities, no towels, no aesthetics in the yurt. We will be staying at Calloway Gardens in the future. That would be a much better value for your money.They also charge u "dynamically" when u book, not according to when u will be staying at their property. Pool and spa not accessible in Nov.

The campground has great amenities and is close to several beautiful parks and gorgeous hikes. The spots are, for the most part, very easy access and pull through. Wifi is slow, but we didn't care.  I heard others complaining about the streaming, but we like to be outside, and they have cable available.  Nice for kids and pets.  I do wish they monitored people who didn't leash their dogs.  We had several people's dogs run up to our leashed dogs, so just be alert.

One of my favorite local spots close to home.  Everything is super clean & I love the new paved roads.   Such a treat the pool was open in October.  The front desk person was super friendly and helpful.   The grass could have been cut in some areas but, over all it’s super nice.  20 minutes away from Nutwood winery and super close to Callaway gardens.

Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary

What a wonderful place to visit for adults and kids. The old Game Ranch had really gone downhill. The new owners have done a fabulous job of creating beautiful homes for happy animals. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.  We bought cups of lettuce leaves and carrots and had so much fun feeding the animals, especially the beautiful deer. There’s a very friendly turkey who will follow you around too. We spent 3 whole hours there and it was so much more fun than the zoo. Would definitely recommend.

I love coming here with my kids so we can see all the amazing animals. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. We were excited to see the bears and the wolf cubs on our most recent trip. Love all the work this family does to make the sanctuary an enriching experience.

We had a great time here. Wonderful staff and the sanctuary is neat with good signage and walkways. You can feed many of the animals and the space is so open and natural. Pet a deer while feeding it, lots of firsts including a peacock taunting a serval. Highly recommend

Had a FABULOUS experience. Have been wanting to see sloths in person for years and finally got the opportunity through the sloth encounter with Sid and Sue. We were able to feed and touch them while learning so much about them with their guide. Beside the sloth house, Marvin wanted attention and is the absolute cutest/sweetest. Just wanted to be petted like a dog.  Loved all the exhibits. The “baby” wolves, coyotes, rabbits, Alpacas, cow, donkeys, etc. we loved it all! The staff were really kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We went during the weekday (early afternoon) and we saw one other person so a great time to go.

Fantastic sanctuary for children and animal lovers!

All of the animals are rescues who can no longer be introduced into the wild and are very comfortable around people. Turkeys and peacocks are on the loose and all the animals (bunnies, goats, alpacas, bulls, bison, etc) were VERY happy to be fed with the purchaseable treats.

We went on a rainy day and it was still such a memorable time!

F.D. Roosevelt State Park

Loved this park! Clean bathrooms, great showers. Easy check in and helpful volunteers. Loved how the Campsites were spaced out and not stacked on top of each other. Great, well maintained trailed. Beautiful views. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful park. We love the scenery. We camped there for a weekend and our site was lake front. Full hook ups, spacious and they have a picnic table and fire ring. Is dog friendly. Have nice bathrooms and showers available and they were clean. I saw a lot of primitive campers here too and the sites for the tents are huge I really liked them. Near this park there is a lot of things to do. We visited the Liberty bell pool with the kids, which is a public pool that you need to pay to use it, but it’s really nice. We also went to the Little White House museum -spectacular history- and we saw the fishes near by this museum. We ate at the little downtown in a small Jamaican restaurant, we really enjoyed it here.

Field trip with my granddaughter ... loved it!!!
The park rangers did a great job keeping the children active and entertained while teaching them. Awesome nature program! Beautiful area!!!

My husband and I were looking for a quick getaway to celebrate our son's 11th birthday. We love to camp as a family and we're looking for a new spots to pitch our tent for a few days. We found FD Roosevelt State Park in pine mountain Georgia and absolutely fell in love! It's nestled at the foot of the mountain with plenty of hiking trails for all levels.  Beautiful Delano lake is situated on the property and great for kayaking, paddle boating, and fishing.

As far as the camping goes...

First and foremost, when I'm camping I need clean bathrooms. The bathrooms were exquisite and maintained throughout the day. So if you're like me and that's important, you're good to go.

We stayed in a standard campsite and it was outfitted with water, electricity, a large fire pit with a grill, picnic table, and a camping pad that was perfect whether you have a tent or a RV.

There was plenty of room to hang our hammocks and stare off into the forest. There is of course wildlife but mostly squirrels around the campsites.

This park is also dog friendly which was great for us because we brought along our little Chihuahua mix.

My favorite part, quiet. The campsites are spaced out enough where if you're looking for a quiet serene getaway you can definitely find it here. We also took a little bit of a tour around and noticed that there are some pioneer campsites that are back in the woods. Well they need a little TLC when she first get there they look like a great option if you're on a budget.

Overall, great stay! We will definitely be back soon and hopefully in the summer so that we can enjoy their large Liberty Bell pool.

Key point, Callaway gardens is just around the corner. If you were interested in visiting there this is a great way to stay on a budget and get to enjoy the gardens as well!

This is one of my favorite parks! We come here to hike the trails in particular. The Pine Mountain trail runs for 23 miles through the park. The trails are well maintained, have a lot of elevation changes, beautiful scenery and amazing views. We especially enjoy the hike to Cascade Falls. I definitely recommend this park if you love the outdoors!

Panola Mountain State Park Office and Visitor Center

I visited the park with my kids, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's like a hidden gem. The park is beautiful, quiet and clean. There is a playground, restrooms, lots of picnic areas, gym area, trails, etc. My kids love it and want me to take them back every day.
There is also a park fee. You have the option of doing a daily pass for $5 or an annual pass for $50 with various ways of paying.

There's a $5 fee to park at the Archery Center location, but there is ample parking.  Activities include archery practice in the designated area, picnicking at the covered picnic area, fishing at the lake, hiking, biking and running the paved trails, or exploring the unpaved trails. If you have the energy to go the distance, you can travel the paved trails all the way to the South River trails. There are restrooms in the parking area; the ladies' room smelled as though it had been freshly cleaned when I visited.
Pro Tip: State Park parking passes are available to check out for seven days at the library.

Always a great place to hike. Questions answered, decent view. We went recently for the 4th of July event. If you are looking for a relaxing evening after a short hike, then this event is the place. Lots of fireworks in the distance, but not in your face. Very informational! Just remember to watch where you step!

It’s a pretty good place to site see and walk or bike the trails. Camping 🏕️ here is nice but the walk to the campground is like WOW 😯. You need to be prepared to walk at least 3/4 of a mile to get there. I’d do it again 😊. I’m enjoying my visit here.

Enjoyed the day. Only took off a star as the staff didn't really want to assist us as this was our first time to visit. But it didn't stop the enjoyment of the park.

Krul Lake

Very nice place fun safe clean swimming hiking camping our just take the family are yourself and have lunch and be at real peace

Beautiful trail, went and attended the Munson Festival, was a beautiful day

Nice place to camp. No Verizon phone service, not even with a WeBoost 65. (We did get just enough signal to send emails and text, just no internet or phone service) Lake was drained when we visited in Jan. No dogs, which was nice. You can hike to the other campground where dogs are allowed. Clean bathhouse with a good shower. Sites were a little unlevel, but not too anything like WV or other mountainous states. Phone service was 15 minutes away either south or east. Interesting that you have to call or reserve online, yet there is no phone service🤔. We would stay here again, just cause it was dark and quiet at night.

Found this place driving on the way back home from Orlando, FL. It is beautiful! The water is clear in the shallow ends and then gets darker the deeper you go into the water. You can see minnows swimming around in the clear end, though. There are picnic tables and bathrooms. We stayed at the front end of the park, but it did look like there was more to it the further you went down. There is also a hiking trail from Krul Lake to Bear Lake. It is located in the Blackwater River State Forest. There are some other lakes located in this forest that we did not go to. You do have to pay a small fee to help the park. There are directions at the entrance, but it would help if you don't have signal, that there be another way to pay the fees.

Great place to take the kids. Lake to swim, picnic tables, campground. Bathroom facilities on site

Ethel M Chocolates Factory & Cactus Garden

Went to Ethel M for their 30th Annual Holiday Cactus Garden Lights and it was incredible. The staff at the gift shop were incredibly kind and accommodating and so professional. Explained the operating hours when we arrived to stay in line for the christmas lights and that they would be closing at 8pm on Christmas Eve. We got chocolates, hot chocolate and cupcakes beforehand standing in line which went very quickly and all staff from inside to security outside were incredible. Highly recommend to go. We got a lovely chocolate when entering the factory as well. Absolutely stunning and we felt really looked after.

Halfway through the gardens they also had a food truck with the drinks and sitting area in case you went to the garden first instead of gift shop 🥰🥰🥰

Fantastic FREE tour of the chocolate making process, along with a couple of samples. The chocolate is so rich, creamy and decadent. But what made the time for us was the super-knowledgeable, super-enthusiastic greeter (Vic, I think?). He was so friendly and welcomed everyone who entered. But for those wanting a bit more history, he was happy to oblige. He was a great storyteller and we loved learning the story of Ethel M. We came on a Monday morning and it wasn’t busy at all.

The tour itself is self-guided and very short, but so cool how you can see them at work making the chocolates and candy. If you come on the weekends, the factory isn’t operating, but they do offer chocolate tastings (book ahead and there is a fee). I was sad my kids weren’t with me because they would have loved it!

The real delight was the cactus garden. Absolutely beautiful and full of a variety of cacti and other dessert plants.

There is an excellent cactus garden outside.  The chocolate factory self walking tour is very interesting. The free samples upon entering the gift shop were very tasty.  The prices of the chocolate are way beyond expensive.  They are priced even higher than imported French, Swiss, and Belgian chocolates, which are superior.

My family and I enjoyed the holiday lights. Took lots of photos & videos. Had a hot coco drink for $8, & to enter is $2 each person. They do have a security checkpoint at the front. I went around 5pm. Parking wasn’t so bad. But it would have been more nice to hear better holiday music while walking around.

We came at 8pm on the Christmas weekend. There was a line for the entrance but it moved fairly fast. We got to the entrance after ~15min and it was $2 per person entrance fee for the Christmas lighted Cactus garden. It is a one way loop with many decorations, lights, drink shops, photo spots and more.  At the end of the loop, you can enter a chocolate shop with a factory demo. You can buy hot chocolate and other gourmet chocolate, but be prepared they are pricey. Overall a great experience!
