“They all come together and they enjoy their passions, and one of the things that all of those groups of people love to do are sit and play games together.”

When it comes to entertaining outdoorsy dad’s for Father’s Day, 2024′s best Atlanta place to visit isn’t any different from most years — Stone Mountain . The iconic park’s “Music Across America Drone and Light Show” will be in full swing Father’s Day weekend, and it’s going to be bigger than ever.
“Stone Mountain Park invested in new Light Show technology that boasts 10 times more lumens, 10 times larger video projection, and 10 times more laser beams than the classic Lasershow (sic),” according to the park’s website.
“This summer’s show promises to be bigger, and more breathtaking than ever with completely immersive lighting, more fireworks, lasers, and flame effects, new music tracks, and a Drone Show with 250 color-changing drones synchronized to music.”
While the light show won’t begin until 9:30 p.m., Stone Mountain has a full weekend of fun in store. The Summit Skyride offers guests an opportunity to soar 825 feet in the air from inside a high-speed cable car, revealing horizon-spanning views of the Appalachian Mountains and Atlanta skyline.
Rock walls to rope bridges — Camp High Outpost , Dinosaur Explore and the Dinotorium are great ways for children to enjoy the day with dad. Fathers can get their golf on at the Great Locomotive Chase Adventure Golf putting course too.
Though reservations are sometimes required, SkyHike is one of the nations’ largest family adventure courses and features a chance to trek through the treetops. And those interested in something more scenic can hop aboard the park’s 1940-era locomotive for an open-air tour around the mountain.
