Large mall that is very spread out, including outdoor shopping and restaurants. Check the store directory online to see what’s available. Dillards, Belk, and Von Maur are there. Von Maur is located where Nordstrom used to be. Lots of restaurant options, aside from food court. Plenty of stores that teens will like. Not upscale if that’s what you’re looking for...need to drive into Atlanta to Phipps or Lenox for that. Overall a good, basic mall with lots of choices in fashion and food.

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.

This park has amazing trails for all levels of hikers and walkers. The paths are through forests, through meadows, around lakes and mixtures of all three. You can choose paved or unpaved, and sunny or shaded. There's also an equestrian trail for those who enjoy trail horseback riding. There are several docks for fishing, pavilions for gathering, and playgrounds for playing as well as animals for wildlife viewers. I have seen all types of birds and water fowl, turtles, frogs, deer, snakes, and squirrels. Most of the animals (except the squirrels) keep their distance, but they'll be close enough that you get to enjoy seeing them.

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.

This is one of the most family friendly venues you can take your kids to. The tickets, food, and folks make it easy to bring a family and not break the bank. There is always something happening out on the field between innings. When they announce "Chopper " as the hardest working mascot in baseball, they aren't kidding! They truly love the fans here. Be sure to go on a Sunday. The kids get to play catch out on the field before the game!

Our visit was interrupted twice, as small children vacated their bowls within the splash area, causing it to be shut down for 20 minutes, for cleaning and water testing. So, when very small kids are around we usually pass on the experience.

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.

Attended a birthday party here for a small child. The family rented one of the sheltered places for the gathering near the covered playground. The playground offers nice variety or different toys for the kids to play on...spiderweb, large bridges and climbing things, drums, and all levels of swings. They keep it well maintained! The sheltered area also had a plug-in which was nice. :)
