Planning a trip to Atlanta, Georgia with kids? Great choice! Atlanta is a city bursting with family-friendly activities like theme parks, gardens, museums and popular tourist attractions like the World of Coca Cola and Georgia Aquarium. With such a wide variety of opportunities, everyone can feel welcome in Atlanta – even your dog!

When deciding where to stay in Atlanta, first think about your itinerary. Do you want to visit the popular tourist attractions? Choose a downtown hotel that’s close to the action and has a balcony to take in the views. Active family? Consider staying at a hotel with free bikes in Midtown near Piedmont Park. Or stay in a pet-friendly hotel and have fun together as a family in the dog-friendly areas of Atlanta. Ready to splurge on a bucket-list trip? There are plenty of luxury hotels in the area as well.
