I attended for a gymnastics meet. The facility is nice enough, but the layout is confusing. All drives close to the entrance were blocked off, so there is no convenient way to drop off passengers (or pick them up) close to the building or out of the weather. Lots of convenient bathrooms; one elevator for the whole facility, so more walking. No concessions offered for my event, so I don't have a handle on that.

We live close by and take daily walks on the Big Creek Greenway. There are public restrooms, water fountains, and a small shelter at the entrance off of Bethelview Road. The trail is mildly strenuous except for the sawtooth pass section. It's closed after heavy rain.

Lake with ducks and fish that the little ones can see swimming around. Even a concrete ping pong table ( bring your paddles and ping pong ball). Blacktop trails are very shaded - lots of benches to just sit and watch nature.

My family has been to at least 4 Escape rooms, and in different states. Comparing to other escape rooms, this is on the lower end of the list. The prior escape room I went to had two rooms to look for clues, which made it more challenging and we were able to use a walkie-talkie's. This place also has a 45 minute maximum in the room which under their FAQ on their website it says an hour. All the other places we have been to are an hour. I DID NOT like this at all. One of the hints wasn't helpful because we didn't have one of the items it said we should have and they put what you need on a TV screen, not talking in person. They can hear you though. Once they heard your frustration, they typed on the screen what you need to do. The music that was playing on the TV was very loud and we also had a hard time thinking. Some of the numbers were hard to read on the items (like they had been worn off a bit). With all the escape rooms popping up around the Atlanta area, I would definitely seek out others. It is easy to get to off the interstate though.
5. Southeastern Railway Museum

The Southeastern Railway Museum occupies a 35-acre site in Duluth, Georgia, in northeast suburban Atlanta. In operation since 1970, the Southeastern Railway Museum features about 90 items of rolling stock including historic Pullman cars and classic steam locomotives. Museum hours vary seasonally. Ride in restored cabooses behind restored antique diesel locomotives, stand next to the massive driving wheels of the locomotive that once pulled passenger trains to Key West on the “railroad that went to sea,” tour the business car that helped bring the Olympics to Atlanta, pose in the private car once used by President Warren G. Harding, and step inside a dining car used by FDR on one of his many trips to Warm Springs, GA. The mission of the Southeastern Railway Museum is to provide an educational atmosphere that will vividly bring to life the cultural, technological and historical importance of transportation to our region.

This is a blast from the past of trains particularly from the early 1900's. You can get to see what they were like riding in coach and sleeper cars. They even had the train car that President Warren Harding traveled and eventually died in. We rode the train and caboose to see how they moved along and communicated.

We came here to hunt the geocaches in this preserve. Like others mentioned, the trails are well marked with signs and clearly defined trails. There are great informational signs telling you about some of the spectacular trees here.
My little one loved running along the trails and the boardwalk and admiring the calm creek nearby.
It was a nice way to spend part of a morning and we are glad this preserve is here!

We are within walking distance to The Forum. This shopping center has been very popular since it was built. The Forum is like a Swiss village street. There are many shops to keep the shopper busy for several hours and a good number of restaurants offering all levels and types of food. Our favorite store is the Belk department store. We enjoy several mexican, italian, and american restaurants. Parking is right in front of the stores and there is music speakers along the walkways.
8. River Pines Golf Club

Reviewed By cheryl h - Durham, North Carolina
I found the clubhouse staff were over-the-top awesome. The bag guy was extremely nice and helpful and the rest of the staff were also first class.
On the 18-hole course, the first and last holes have elevation change but the rest of the course is fairly flat. The course is well-conditioned for the winter and the green's were good. A few holes were tricky off the tee so local knowledge is important to choose club and direction. The driver is not your friend on several holes.
The Par 3 course is very nice. This course is a quick 9-hole loop with elevation changes that switches back and forth around a pond, so you need to pay attention to where you are. The greens were in great shape. Most of the holes are wedges off the tee, but it can be used as a practice area or some bonus holes if you have time after your round.
9. Suwanee Creek Greenway

This greenway connects with trails in George Pierce Park and is 6 miles in length and provides great views of undisturbed wetlands and forest where I often see wildlife. The trails are bike friendly, well maintained, and consist of an assortment of boardwalks and paved pathways. There is occasional flooding of trails with heavy rain. Some caution is needed since the trails are not very wide and are often busy with walkers who never seem to know where to position themselves as bikes approach.
The majority of the terrain is fairly flat but there are some moderate hilly areas at each end. Once in George Pierce Park there are miles of trails rambling through forest that provide moderate effort to negotiate. On the north side of the trail there is boardwalk access to Suwanee Town Park that is also bike friendly. Public bathrooms are available at each end of the trail and in Suwanee Town Park.
This group of trails are my favorite go to when I've waited until the middle of the day to ride when it is extremely hot since the majority of the trails are heavily forested and are therefore shady. You can entertain yourself for hours exploring and there are dirt trails through the woods at each end for those looking for easy to moderate mountain bike challenges. I highly recommend exploring this network of trails on bike.

We have been to Infinite Energy Arena many times for concerts (Andrea Bocelli, Paul McCartney, etc) and sport events (basketball, hockey, gymnastics, etc). This arena is simply great! Easy parking , great food courts, friendly support staff, well organized.
Tip: park across the street from the arena and have dinner at Luciano’s before the event. Easier to get out after the event to eithe I-85 or opposite direction towards Duluth.
Tip: if you like high end food, try Frankie’s The Steakhouse next to the arena. Great parking for the event as well if you need to get back to I-85.
