Top 10 Things To Do, Activities 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."

"Often called the Central Park of Atlanta, Piedmont Park provides a ton of lush green space for whatever weekend activity you can think of. Conveniently situated near Midtown with stunning views of the city skyline, our first pick is a familiar spot for many locals. Filled with various restaurants, basketball and tennis courts, a pond, a swimming pool, and picnic areas with grills, this is the park that has it all."

"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. The people are cool and the food is great, especially the the excellent Southern Slam Burger with a loaded baked potato on the side."

"This historic site includes several buildings, including the boyhood home of this civil rights leader, as well as the church where his father, and later King himself first came to preach. The firehouse that was once a main community center in the sixties, a civil rights walk of fame, and the “I Have a Dream” international world peace rose garden are also a part of this historic park. Opposite the visitor center, a large mural depicts scenes in Dr. Martin Luther King’s life."

"Learn about civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at this 35-acre complex that includes an interactive visitor’s center (look for the Junior Ranger activity books), the Ebenezer Baptist Church where King was a pastor, his gravesite, and even his birth home a few blocks away."

"This museum explores the history of civil rights movements, with particular emphasis on African-American civil rights. The Center shows three permanent exhibitions: Voice to the Voiceless: The Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr Collection, with rotating exhibits of Dr King’s documents and personal effects; Spark of Conviction: The Global Human Rights Movement; and Rolls Down Like Water: The American Civil Rights Movement. Rotating art works and displays are also shown on a temporary exhibit wall."
