What to do and see in Helen, Georgia (GA): The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

April 14, 2022 Carley Gatson

Helen, a Bavarian Alps replica town in Appalachian Georgia, is home to an Oktoberfest for the ages, overflowing with two-liter beer glasses and Germany's famous bratwursts.  To recover from the festivities, the savviest make their way to Cedar Creek Luxury Cabins on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest.

Anna Ruby Falls

Reviewed By susannet175 - North Carolina Mountains, United States

Love coming here and this time we were very positively surprised that Anna Ruby Falls and the gift shop were open on New Years Day! Loved the hike and the falls were quite full with water and very impressive. The trails are well maintained, the gift shop well stocked and the Trail for the visually impaired is a great stroll along the river.

Bavarian Mountain Miniature Golf

Play 1 18 hole courses or play 2. Come see our 15 and 30 foot waterfalls. Then come and play pool, air hockey or 20 of our other games. Win tickets and buy prizes. Also have a family reunion or Birthday party with us. We have large group discounts .

Reviewed By timthetravelor - Tifton, United States

Clean course. Challenging yet fun. Have choice of 2 different 18 hole courses to choose from. Run by a local owner who was very friendly and did everything possible to make sure we were satisfied with this experience. We played miniature golf at another franchise owned golf course in Helen the previous night. The Bavarian Mountain Golf course was so much cleaner and better maintained than the franchise owned place. And it was cheaper than the franchise. Staff was more accommodating here also. We will definitely return to Bavarian Mountain Miniature Golf Course on our next visit there. One tip: Do take advantage of the free mosquito spray which is provided at the desk for you prior to playing golf. Mosquitos are abundant at both golf courses, but at least this one does provide free mosquito spray

The Lost Room Escape Adventures

The Lost Room Escape Adventures is a unique and refreshing take on the Escape room industry. Featuring completely original escape experiences and equipped with a large conference space to host parties, events, and business getaways.

Reviewed By 264samyag - Jefferson, United States

I have done over 50 escape rooms. I look at rooms from the perspective of immersion, game flow, types of puzzles, and how well the puzzles fit the theme. My family and I recently experienced both rooms at the Lost Rooms Escape Adventures in Helen, GA. Both rooms had excellent game flow. The Final Piece room made excellent use of the space available. The MasterKey room is good for larger groups. For both, the immersion felt pretty complete. The rooms were fun to play. The puzzles were varied and were more than just lock and key. The puzzles fit well with the theme of the room. I would definitely recommend.
