5.0 out of 5 stars Around Atlanta with Children - Excellent!, August 19, 2000

This review is from: Around Atlanta With Children: A Guide for Family Activities (Paperback)

This handbook is the most extensive information I"ve found in one place. I refer to it all year when I want to plan activities for my child. It is a wonderful resource, and every parent should have one. I've lived in Atlanta all my life, and I had no idea that there were so many fun things to do that I didn't even know about. It also had a list of great free things to do. Definitely a must for all parents!

This review is from: Around Atlanta with Children: A Guide for Family Activities (Paperback)

Are you about to spend the summer with the kids?

Is Dad about to have the kids by himself for a week?

Do you know DINKs (Dual Income No Kids) about to become SITCOMs (Single Income, The Child, Oppressive Mortgage)???

GET THIS BOOK!!!

This book has been a staple of Metro Atlanta area parents for over a decade. This 6th edition (2001) was well researched and updated. There is even a section on future things to do (i.e. the Atlanta Aquarium and others). The authors share lessons from their experiences in taking kids to Atlanta attractions and share stories that others have shared.

You will find out things you never knew about the Atlanta area (did you know one of the largest Kangaroo Reserves outside of Australia is just north of the metro area?).

As picking our own produce was a cherished childhood memory, I would like to see more in the "U-Pick" Farms section. They made minor references to one web page, but left out many of the staple U-Pick and kid friendly farms in area. More on the North Georgia apple country would be great too.

Janet and Denise, keep up the good work!
