Rock City is a famous landmark located in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, just outside Chattanooga. If you’ve driven across the south you’ve probably seen “See Rock City” pained on the side of a barn and this is the attraction they’re all pointing towards. Rock City describes itself as, “where gardens, hidden gnomes, ancient rock formations, and panoramic seven-state views unfold like a living storybook.” This is descriptive, but it doesn’t really do the place place justice. A simple review is that Rock City is a beautiful place filled with whimsy, story and fun, sort of like the most beautifully landscaped theme park you’ve been to, but without the rides.

The Blue Ghost Arcade is located in Woodstock, Georgia, a northern suburb of Atlanta. Their motto is, “Connecting an old generation of games with a new generation of players” and that couldn’t be more true. The Blue Ghost Arcade is a retro arcade featuring classic 80s/90s video games, pinball, consoles and board games. There’s a full bar, but it’s also totally kid friendly. The arcade uses a “pay-one-price” model with daily passes for unlimited free play on all games and complimentary popcorn. This is a great place to have a nostalgic video game experience with decor that matches down to a wall made completely of old VHS tapes! This is a review from a theme park fan of all the fun you can have at the Blue Ghost.
