Summertime and family time just go hand and hand. So, naturally, it is the time of year for meaningful family outings at some of the city’s favorite attractions.

This week's Best of Atlanta poll explores the best family attractions our city has to offer.


There's nothing like a family dip at the pool, so stay cool in the heat with some of metro Atlanta's best family-friendly public pools.

And no need to sacrifice your child's interest over your own this summer. These five outdoor activities that kids and adults can share give you some pleasing options for everyone.

Have older ones in the house? They will appreciate these unusual things to do in Georgia.
