Halloween is still a few weeks away but many local haunted attractions have already opened their doors. Enter if you dare and see what freightening creatures await at popular haunted houses such as Netherworld and House of Horror Hill.
You never need an excuse to go to the museum, but we have a pretty good one just in case!
Visit the Woodruff Arts Center and play their newest installation. A public piano named “Carly” was recently installed by Play Me Again Pianos, a Georgia nonprofit organization that permanently maintains pianos that are accessible to the public.
