Stone Mountain Park

Stone Mountain, an 863-foot-high granite outcrop with a bald dome that stands out dramatically from the surrounding area, is virtually devoid of trees or plant life. The bas-relief on the mountain's north face is the world's largest. It has a sculpture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General Robert E. Lee, and General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson called the Confederate Memorial Carving.

The top of the building stands 825 feet (251 meters) above the surrounding surroundings, providing a stunning perspective of Atlanta. A 1940s locomotive transports visitors through the park on a five-mile track, and a land-and-water tour aboard a 1940s Army DUKW highlights local history.

The Antebellum Plantation and Farmyard, an open-air museum with farm animals that guests may pet and 19 historic structures that mimic a pre-Civil War plantation, is also worth visiting. The dinosaur park, which has 20 life-size ancient monsters that move and roar, is popular with families.
