SkyHike/Geyser Towers

Stone Mountain Park is home to one of the largest family adventure courses in the country. On  SkyHike, families can challenge themselves and each other on suspended bridges and vertical climbing features. And, for an optional get-wet adventure, Geyser Towers rope bridges and net tunnels connect to platforms that overlook a gushing geyser. Geyser Towers is temporarily closed.

Summit Skyride

Ride the Skyride cable car 825 feet above ground to see wide-ranging views of Atlanta and the Appalachian Mountains. Kids love the journey as much as the destination. Walk back downhill, which is much easier with little ones than climbing up.

Historic Square and The Farmyard

Restored historical buildings from around Georgia are situated in the Historic Square at Stone Mountain Park. Check out the working garden and cookhouse on a self-guided tour and learn more about the lifestyle and habits of 18th and 19th century Georgians. Don’t miss the Farmyard, where kids interact with animals and their trainers, who explain the roles livestock played in the early years of the state.
