There's Fun Around Every Corner with These Attractions in Atlanta
Build Something Grand at LEGOLAND Discovery Center
If you’re looking to escape the heat or cold, depending on the time of year you’re visiting, the LEGOLAND Discovery Center (3500 Peachtree Road) puts a roof over the California and Florida LEGOLAND parks. It’s one of the best things to do in Atlanta with kids as they can enjoy a pair of rides, as well as dedicated building zones.
They’ll get to test their creations at shuddering earthquake towers, see pint-sized re-creations of cities, and race their own LEGO cars against other kids. There’s even a factory tour so children can see how their favorite building blocks get made. Parents may not find the kid-centric grub at the onsite cafe quite to their liking, but they can take heart knowing their little ones will love it.
