Stone Mountain Park

We stayed at this beautiful campground and visited the theme park. The campground was perfect. Many tree covered sites, clean bathrooms, several nature trails, a serene lake, a pool, campground store, and nice park staff make this feel like a home away from home. We enjoyed a day at the theme park, as well. Be sure to arrive early in the day if you plan to see all of the attractions. We really enjoyed the sky-rail to the mountain and the train ride. Though, we did not have time to do much else before the afternoon rain.

Our first time coming by to see Stone Mountain. $20 Vehicle Entry, was well worth the drive, literally around the entire mountain. Beautiful landscape, everywhere you look. We arrived very close to dark and were thrilled to find out that they close at midnight! The Lift to the top and Gift Shop were certainly closed by the time we arrived, but we were able to navigate a well-lit sidewalk, to get a bit closer to the carving. Really pretty area, very nice folks. Absolutely worth the stop!

I visited it with my friend's family last June. This place seems to be a park, museum, and amusement park!! You can easily climb to the top of the mountain by sky ride. Reach the top, you can eat delicious ice cream and a cold drink, too. As soon as I stepped on the top of stone mountain, I felt like I had landed on the moon. 🤩

A few good tips:

1. The parking fee is not cheap but if you are planning to visit there twice or more, I recommend buying annual pass.

2. Let the children wear clothes that don't matter if they get wet. There's a water splash attraction that kids really like. Swimsuit? Very good!

3. There is a nice train attraction, too. However, if you don’t have enough time and if weather is very hot, the train is not recommended.

4. Bring a simple lunch box. It's hard to find a good restaurant there.

In closing, Take a lot of great pictures and have a great time! 😍

What a fun evening! It has been quite a while since we visited Stone Mountain Park and enjoyed the world famous Laser Show! What interactions we had with the staff was pleasant. The attractions do require tickets so I’d suggest getting them beforehand or look into the ticket packages if you are considering taking advantage of what the park has to offer! Bring your blankets and chairs and picnic supplies and enjoy a day and evening at the park!
