Splash Pads
We live in the water during the summer. If we’re not in the
pool, we can be found at any one of Atlanta’s many splash pads. Children can
make a splash for free at the Fountain of Rings, located in Centennial Olympic
Park, Historic Fourth Ward Park Splash Pad or Piedmont Park Legacy Fountain.
For just $2 per person, you can visit one of our personal favorites -- The
Spray Station at East Roswell Park.
Summer Movie Series
Catch all your favorite movies in Central Park at Atlantic
Station during free summer screenings every Thursday night at dusk. Pack a
picnic or enjoy to-go options from many Atlantic Station restaurants that
provide a discount for movie-goers. Mention “Movies in Central Park” or present
a Movies + Dinner card (available at concierge) to receive special pricing.
Prefer air conditioning? Check out the weekday summer movie series at
participating Studio Movie Grill theaters, where you can escape the summer heat
to watch $3 screenings of recent and popular children’s films.
Kids Bowl Free
Kids Bowl Free is a national program designed by bowling
centers to give back to the community and provide a safe, secure and fun way
for kids to spend time during the summer. Through this program, registered
children can bowl two games per day for free, all summer long. For
participating bowling centers, visit Kidsbowlfree.com.
Go for Ice Cream
Visit any of Atlanta's popular ice cream shops to indulge in
America's favorite sweet treat. Here are a couple of our favorites: Jake's Ice
Cream, located in the Irwin Street Market; and Morelli's Gourmet Ice Cream on
Moreland Avenue and at the Edgewood Retail District.
Catch a Puppet Show
Enjoy family performances at Center for Puppetry Arts. For

Arts Center.
