Georgia Aquarium
One of the world's largest aquariums, the Georgia Aquarium houses over 120,000 animals representing 500 species.

SCOUT LOGISTICS
Atlanta traffic is non-negotiable. If you are arriving with a group of 20+ in Sprinter vans or a motorcoach, do not use the main parking deck. The Aquarium offers a dedicated "Group Arrival" entrance on Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd. Secure your group tickets 4 weeks in advance to access private hospitality suites.

SCOUT LOGISTICS
The highlight is the tasting room, but it becomes chaotic for groups. Pro Tip: Do not buy general admission. Contact their Group Sales department to book the "VIP Guided Tour." This secures reserved group tasting times and grants bypass access to the famously long lines.

While the park is free, tours of the actual Birth Home are strictly limited to 15 people per group on a first-come, first-served basis. If your reunion is larger than 15, you must split into staggered groups. Send an advance team at 9:00 AM sharp to secure your afternoon time slots.
Atlanta Botanical Garden
A stunning 30-acre oasis adjacent to Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta. It features beautiful themed gardens, a dense tropical rainforest, and the famous Canopy Walk. The garden provides a serene, highly accessible environment that serves as the perfect backdrop for legacy family portraits.

This is the most ADA-friendly outdoor excursion in Atlanta, with paved, flat paths suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. If you plan to hire a professional photographer for a large group shot (20+ people), you must apply for a commercial photography permit via their website 14 days prior.
Piedmont Park
Atlanta's premier green space offers 185 acres of beautiful parkland perfect for family reunions. With playgrounds, walking trails, sports facilities, and open areas for picnics, it's an ideal location for outdoor family activities. The park also hosts festivals and events throughout the year.

Stone Mountain Park
Located just 15 miles east of downtown, Stone Mountain Park is Georgia’s most visited attraction. It offers a massive array of activities for all ages, from the scenic railroad and Skyride to the Summit to the nightly Laser Show.

Vehicle Entry Fee: Every car in your reunion caravan must pay the daily parking fee (currently $20). For groups of 15+, it is significantly cheaper to arrive in a single motorcoach, which pays a one-time commercial entry fee. Book the "Lasershow Terrace" for your group to have guaranteed seating and a catered buffet during the show.
Zoo Atlanta
Located in historic Grant Park, Zoo Atlanta is famous for its giant pandas and one of the largest great ape populations in North America. The zoo’s Scaly Slimy Spectacular and African Savanna habitats provide immersive, accessible experiences for families with young children and seniors alike.
