Ready to get out of the house with the kids? Here are some ideas close by.
Each week, Stone Mountain Patch gives you info on things for the whole family to do in the area. You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance. Here are this week's picks:
When: Ongoing
Where: Crossroads at Stone Mountain Park
Find out what's happening in Stone Mountain-Lithoniawith free, real-time updates from Patch.
Why Go: A 3D film with spectacular 4th dimension special effects such as lights, fog, water, and strobe lights is fun for all! Watch Brendan Frasier and his friends travel below the surface of the earth and encounter all kinds of fearsome creatures and exciting adventures. This intense movie experience is best for older children, as the intense on-screen images & strobe lights may be too much for children ages 5 and younger.
Pricing: Individual tickets are not available for the 4D Theater. You must have a One-Day All Attractions Pass, a Family Value Pass, or a Mountain Membership to visit the Theater.
