Best Family Vacations Around Atlanta January 16, 2019
Ya’ll have requested this for a long time and I am so sorry it’s taken me so long. Here are all the place I recommend for a family vacation just 5 hours outside of Atlanta.
Best Family Vacations Around Atlanta
30a– Only 4.5 hours from Atlanta and a fantastic family getaway. There are 3 hotels, as well as houses for rent. Fantastic restaurants, outdoor concerts, fun shopping for all… Click on the link above to read all of my recommendations.
Winston-Salem– a 5 hour drive from Atlanta. There are wineries, delicious farm-to-table restaurants, and a super fun petting zoo.
Opryland in Nashville- We’ve been several times, but weirdly I haven’t written about this yet. It’s a one-stop shop for families- there’s several restaurants, an indoor water park, shopping, and plenty of kids activities.
Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island– My favorite. The service, the island, the kids activities, and the food. All SO good!! If you haven’t been yet you have to go.
Ritz-Carlton Lake Oconee– Only a 2 hour drive from Atlanta and a one stop shop for the whole family. It’s the perfect “staycation”.
We are planning a trip to 30A this summer! I cant wait! We’ve never been!
ive been wanting to get to 30A asap- it looks so gorgeous!
I’m so glad you included Amelia Island! It’s the only one of these I’ve been to but I love it there. I used to have a friend who was from the island so when she was really sick we would go visit her there (when we lived in Orlando) and it’s so gorgeous!
I love love your stair picture. Looks like so much fun. I haven’t been to any of these places, but one day I hope too!
Great ideas for family vacations! We love to travel to Florida but we are from Wisconsin so we always have to fly in. But these ideas sound so great and will add to my list for future travel places!
These pictures are all stunning! Thank you for sharing this great list. I am always looking for new places to visit with my family!
We are heading out to Atlanta for a family reunion this summer.I am going to have to check out some of these places as we will be in the area for a month. The Ritz Carlton Amelia Island sounds perfect since we will have our 4 kiddos with us
Amelia Island caught my eye, and that fantastic photo you took at Lake Oconee made me smile. The Ritz-Carlton is a superlative brand so I know the experience was amazing. I’m adding those two spots to my bucket list. 🙂
I haven’t spent time in any of those locales EXCEPT Atlanta, but they all sound/look fun. And that spiral staircase photo is absolutely stunning!
I live in Atlanta but I need to do a better job exploring. Lovely family photos and lots of fun and great tips for family vacation
This is a great list! I love Amelia Island. It’s such a perfect vacation spot.
Gahhh it looks so beautiful there. I just realized how much I NEED a vacation. The pictures are beautiful by the way! I love the staircase one!
I have only been to Atlanta once and it was when I was a teenager. I would love to go back again and experience it as an adult!
We are planning a trip to 30A this summer!
