This seems like it must have been pretty nice when it originally opened, but they've taken no effort to maintain the building, let alone refresh to displays. Empty tanks and broken apparatus were sprinkled throughout. The paint is peeling and I spotted mold in multiple locations.
I went on what I expected would be a busy weekend afternoon. There were more employees sitting around than visitors. If the locals won't go, why would you?
I suggest that if you really need to see an aquarium in Georgia, suck it up and go to Atlanta. The Georgia Aquarium isn't that great, but it's at least worth paying to enter.

Chehaw is a great place for a family outing. Have a picnic with family and friends, or get a pavilion and have a family reunion. The playground for kids is great. The zoo is fun and relaxing.Thanks for taking the time to share! Hope you'll visit again soon!

We were traveling through this area and decided to stop and stretch our legs. This area is a great place to stop and explore. The welcome center next to this area is very clean. We walked from the welcome center across the road to this area and again a great walk to break up a long ride. My favorite was the statue and the large piano keys.
4. Tift Park Community Market

I've been the Community Market many times. I always run into old friends and have also met new people. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The vendors vary from week to week but there is almost always several folks selling local produce and honey. You can also find jewelry, photography, homemade soaps, paintings, pottery, etc. Often times there is live music. It's also pet-friendly. Great way to spend a Saturday morning. If you haven't been in a while, it's time to go back and see what's new.

We had this on our list to see for our quick trip. We did not stay very long the gnats were pretty bad. Bring a hand fan it helps. We noticed it was hit by the tornado and was sad to see the damage. It was still a pretty place to stop, the water was blue in some areas and covered in green slime but it was still worth the trip.

A fun, live action game where you and your friends are placed in a story-themed room and are given 60 minutes to search for hidden clues, solve puzzles, and work together to escape the room before time runs out.

Reviewed By Tlbeneveds - Gainesville, Georgia
My husband and I did this trip last August. We saw an abundance of wildlife while on the river. It was a nice trip down the river. We pulled over and camped a couple places before heading home a couple of days later. Great for families or a quick couple get away. Bring your kayaks, canoes, tents and the family. The Outpost also offers rentals on the kayaks and canoes if you don't have one. This was our 2nd or 3rd trip and we plan on returning soon.
