Theme Parks and Mini Golf
Just a short day trip away is the Wagon Master Adventure Ranch, a fun way to spend the day amid creeks, mountains and forests as the backdrop. Play Gold Rush Golf, free volleyball and badminton, paintball, and horseshoes. There's a playground for the kiddies, arcade-style target galleries, and the Salty Dog Gem Mine. Admission into the park is free, but the extras like paintball and the bounce castle will cost you. There are always specials and deals going on, however, so you can save a few bucks.
In nearby Dawsonville, check out Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch. It's great in the fall, when you can pick out your own pumpkins, snack on caramel apples, or take a hayride. Stay cool with some ice cream while visiting Alpine Mini Golf in Helen, featuring an 18-hole mini golf course, flower gardens, picnic areas and shops. Dalton Falls Golf and Laser Tag in Dalton, Georgia also has an 18-hole miniature golf course, arcade room, refreshments, and outdoor laser tag. These all provide fun family activities you can do together.
