Fun in Atlanta, GA (with kids)

[miTunes75]

Hey mac-fans. We were planning on hanging out at Disney this year for vacation. TO make a long story short, life happened, and it has cut our vacation budget in half. Atlanta is only about 4 hours from here and I was there only for a quick overnight, once.

We'll be bringing our 3 kids (6, 4, 3) with us. Aside from Zoo Atlanta and Georgia Aquarium, what other things would be fun for the kids?

There's a good variety of stuff at Stone Mountain park - take the cable car up to the top. Ride the train. There's an auto museum.

There's fun to be had in Atlanta? Who knew.

This is all I thought Atlanta had.

Amy: So, Fry, Atlanta was an American city in your time?
Fry: I think it was just an airport. They had a place where you could buy nuts.
Umbriel: No! Ancient Atlanta was more than just a Delta hub. It was a vibrant metropolis, the equal of Paris or New York.
Fry: That's right, honey! Whatever you say.
Umbriel: Look at these fabulous ruins. Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant, the, uh, the airport.
