Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.
We list 5 nature and gardens within 81 miles of Atlanta, GA. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.
3 of them list an age range starting at two or under. Check the age line on each card, because a place that suits a six-year-old does not always suit a two-year-old.
We list every one we have within 81 miles of the center of Atlanta. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. None of the places on this page publish a price, so call ahead before you rely on a figure from anywhere else.
Rarely, though parking fills early at weekends and a few gardens cap visitor numbers. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
Water, sun cream, insect repellent and shoes that can get muddy. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
