Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center – This hidden gem in Buford brings science and nature to life with exhibits, trails, and outdoor activities the whole family will love.

Take a leisurely hike on miles of trails that surround the site to get a firsthand look at the vegetation and wildlife unique to North Georgia.

Stone Mountain Park continues to be a favorite destination for families across Georgia and the Southeast. For a relaxing day, play a round of golf and walk the one-mile trail around the mountain, followed by a leisurely Southern meal at The Commons restaurant. If you want to let out some energy, hike the treetops on the SkyHike adventure course and get sprayed at Geyser Towers.
