Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Kennesaw

"Keep on walking and you’ll eventually hit Piedmont Park, Atlanta’s answer to Central Park. Think: more biking and walking trails, a serene lake, meadows for flying kites and throwing frisbees, and terrific views of the downtown skyline. Just don’t get too comfortable—you’ve got a two-mile walk back to Krog Street Market, where you can dig into puffy tacos at Superica, a buzzy Tex-Mex joint from ATL's kingpin restaurateur Ford Fry, or check out one of the beloved nearby restaurants. Ammazza is heaven for Neapolitan pizza and craft beer; Staplehouse is a decidedly fancier affair, offering both a tasting menu and elegant a la carte options."

"Even better, take a short cab/Uber ride to the Virginia Highland area near Piedmont Park and go over to The Highlander, with classic pub grub, a nice outdoor patio, pinball, air hockey, and pool tables.
