Centennial Olympic Park was built less than two decades ago for the 1996 Olympic Games. It’s a great legacy of a fantastic event and a fantastic destination for families. April kicks off two FREE music programs, the Wednesday WindDown and Music @noon. For a list of musicians, visit the website.

There are lots of other things to do while you are at the park. If it’s a nice day, bring a bathing suit and towel so the kids can play in the Fountain of Rings, or just watch the water show (although I warn you, children cannot help but get wet, so bring a towel). The Fountains are a lot of fun in the spring before it gets too hot and all the school groups appear.

Wander to the other end of the park and play on the two Centennial Olympic Park Playgrounds. If you’re looking for more excitement, visit the Georgia Aquarium, National Museum of Patriotism, World of Coca-Cola or the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. All of these attractions are located across the street from the park. For more information, see a post I did for Travel Savvy Mom on Downtown Atlanta: Five Family Favorites.
