The Greater Atlanta area is full of attractions for all ages. Rising from ashes after its Civil War-era torching, this vibrant Peach State capital gracefully blends cosmopolitan sophistication, high energy, and traditional Southern Hospitality.
Just East of the city, Stone Mountain is the largest piece of exposed granite in the world. On its face are giant carvings of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. It is also the site of impressive laser shows in the summer.
A few miles West of Atlanta on I-20 is the Six Flags Over Georgia Theme Park, which opened near the city in 1967, and was the second theme park in the Six Flags chain.
