Sunday doesn’t have to signal sadness.

There are plenty of ways to have fun throughout the work week in metro Atlanta.

This week, our five suggestions for things to do involve plenty of family-friendly fun.

Lanier World

Lake Lanier's LanierWorld opened for the season over the weekend. Located less than an hour outside of Atlanta, this attraction offers a wave pool, splash pool and more. It's perfect for some family-friendly fun this week! Daily hours will resume on May 26, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Admission is 41.99 per attendees over 42 inches tall and $30.99 for attendees under 42 inches.

Interactive experience for kids
