This is a magical place to visit especially this time of the year you can slay down Snow Hill's walk through the shops that are all decorated in Christmas lights. If you need a start on the holiday season Stone Mountain park is the place to go. The hotels and restaurants there are really good and its such a good family setting. They even have a snow angel that flies across the little village and it will delight your children. Have a very happy holiday season at Stone Mountain

Some of my favorite memories happened here. Most of the time I just climb the mountain and that alone makes the trip worthwhile. However, I also enjoy the laser show and I have find memories of swimming and camping here when I was a kid. There's a railroad around the mountain. On the trip a tour guide narrates a history of the area. In the 35 plus years I've enjoyed the place they have added more attractions than I can mention here. If you're in the North East metro Atlanta area don't miss this golden opportunity.

Beautiful place, but Beware of Sexual Harasser
I live in Stone Mountain and used to walk my dog on Indian Island at Stone Mountain Park every day. it is a beautiful place, and lots of people walk their dogs there.
Last year, I met an eighty year old man who also walked his dog there. He seemed like a nice person, like everybody else who I had met in the park. I knew him for a few weeks and we walked our dogs together. I told him about an experience I'd had there with a man approaching me and saying something very inappropriate (of a sexual nature). I thought he understood. He said that even though he (also) found me attractive, that he could restrain himself because he was an older man. He said: "As long as you don't do anything to make me believe that you want
otherwise." (This sounds very creepy as I write it. I should have been way more careful.)
I agreed to be friends with this person who is married and has children and grandchildren. After I had exchanged phone numbers with him, he (almost immediately) said: "If we became lovers I wouldn't want you to get hurt."
I was too shocked, but the next time I met the man, I told him that I could not be friends with him. He kept calling me, and once he stopped his pickup truck in the middle of traffic to say: "Hi! How are you?".
I reported all this to the police, but was told that they couldn't do anything because the man had not touched me. I was told that the man had not done anything illegal and that he had as much right to be there as I did.
Over the past twelve months, I have complained about him to the police because he does not keep his dog on a leash and when his dog approaches me, he believes that he has the right to smile, and say: "Hi." and walk by me.
I don't walk my dog there anymore. I write this review to warn other people, families with children, and older women like myself. Women have to be careful wherever they are, but beware of the eighty year old man who doesn't have his dog on a leash. He drives a silver colored pickup truck. He thinks he owns Indian Island.
Description: Eighty year old male of European descent, walks a little bit stooped. Height: 5 ft 10 in. Looks like a normal (friendly) person, but has very little shame, and an extremely high sense of entitlement.response / report this review -

Stone Mountain is a great activity. The one mile hike is both challenging and fun (it gets really steep at the top), and the views are beautiful. I also once saw a velociraptor up there, so that was cool.
I haven't really done much of the historical stuff or the rides, but they look fun albeit expensive. The laser light show and fireworks is a good time.
I'm not sure what the admission price is because I always park about a half mile away and then walk to the park.
Definitely worth the drive!response / report this review -

Went for "Stone Mountain Christmas" and found the experience very well done! My kids had a great time on the train, 4D theater (minus 1D for Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer) and sky lift. As the sun goes down, you can really see the expansive lights and colorful decor. All that said, I would not say it was over done. Just the rich experience.

This park is a tourist trap - exorbitant prices and ticket packages that include too much or too little. This place is catered mainly towards children, which is disappointing since this is a historical sight. The small "museum" was not well maintained - burnt bulbs in cases made it hard to read. Food was incredibly expensive for dry burgers and stale fries. The pick up counter at the marketplace cafeteria was not being properly monitored while patrons touched and returned food. We tried to eat at one of the sit down restaurants but were turned away due to closing at 6pm! Why close so early? The train ride was mediocre with hardly any views. The whole ride was focused on finding dinosaurs. I would have preferred to hear about the history of this place or to just enjoy the quiet/take in the nature . The best part was the skyride to the top with great views. The laser show was a major disappointment as it was just a laser projected animation with lights. The fireworks were good. Overall, this place lacks a connection to its historical roots and is more of a second class children's park. Save your money and carefully choose where you want to go. Bring your own food and have picnic.

Concessions TOO expensive. Ridiculous. $9 for pulled pork on a bun. $10 for overcooked burger and stale fries. Soda machines not properly maintained. No benches for elderly to take breaks while walking. Yes, the skylift and top of mountain are fantastic. More for little kids here than adults. $7 for a little fridge magnet, really?!?!

A beautiful place with something for everyone. The annual pass costs 40$ and if you live within a 50 mile radius of this place, it's well worth the investment. The walk-up trail is strenuous but the view from the top is amazing. You can see the downtown Atlanta skyline in amazing detail from up above.

BEAUTY, HISTORY & NEW BEGINNINGS: this site was chosen because of how well it is preserved as one of our natural areas and it's historical significance. Aside from the people when times require a helping hand or more, this country has some rich and significant natural resources that need one should continue to appreciate, explore and protect. The Sierra Club Military Outdoors partnered with their sister organization Inspiring Connections Outdoors to host a group of young immigrants and Veterans on a hike through/around Stone Mountain. The total trail was about 6 miles during which the group took the opportunity to share experiences, field questions from the young hikers, and learn about their life stories as they talked about their journey to the US and their aspirations to one day become citizens. This was a wonderful exchange between different global cultures, generations, and economic backgrounds; all held atop and within the beautiful outdoors of Stone Mountain. The "ROCK" yielded tales of centuries past long gone but remnants still remained as we passed old chimneys and granite stone formed as a part of the mountain's beginnings. Trails rained from medium to rugged as you hiked along the mountains wall at a steady vertical climb. The hike ended with a lunch and circle round up of more sharing and discussions about future opportunities to ensure that these (as our leader noted) future leaders are successful and walked away with a healthy respect and understanding of the responsibilities ahead. Supporting organizations like the Sierra Club Military Outdoors, International Rescue Committee, or local grass roots organizations i.e. Operation Stand Down in there efforts to lead the charge in protecting areas like Stone Mountain, providing essential assistance to Veterans and others in need is vital. Become an active member, DONATE, or volunteer!

The cost was hard to even understand.It costs $15 to get in. All that covered was parking and sight-seeing - and the gift shop. Then it costs more money to get into to the museum. The only way to get in close was to pay more money for a tram. I'm not opposed to paying money to see sights, but this felt like a bait and switch.
Even with a $15 entry fee, they did not provide a map that was understandable and could get you around. It was nearly impossible to even find the area with the visitor center. So I searched for a Web site. They had one with a map, but before you could access it, you had to get to the visitor center (the place we were looking for and couldn't find) to get a code.
This is a beautiful place, but the 3rd party company that runs it for the state should be fired.

I did not stay here but picked up one of the managers from our job who was staying here. It looks like a great place and Id like to stay. Driving around the place is clean, golf course looks well maintained. The camp sites have plenty of space. Not sure about the price and I didnt go up the mountain.

Enjoyed a really nice day here with my brother in March. We took the sky ride to the top of Stone Mountain and then hiked down, which was a good decision. Then we walked around the outside of the mountain for a bit on the trails. We also enjoyed walking around the historic homes and buildings, that's a highlight for both of us because we're really into history.

Nice historical park a must see if you are in the area. Nice long trail for walking, running or biking plus the walk or run up Stone Mountain it self. You could easily spend the whole day here maybe more. Lots of info online to help plan your trip here.

Avoid the weird mini-Six Flags unless you have small children.
The hike up the mountain is fun and challenging, but also super crowded if the weather is nice. I highly recommend the hike around the base of the mountain for something different. It's longer and there is a lot of variation in the terrain and views throughout it. It's also much less crowded. Like 1/3 the amount of people who hike to the top.response / report this review -

Fun for the family or even to just hike up Stone mountain to relax by yourself. They have a laser show at night they do on Stone mountain while you sit on the big lawn in front of it, that is a lot of fun for everyone. It is a state park so you do have to pay to get in but it's not expensive and it's by the car. It's fun for hiking and they have a train ride and if you don't want to hike up Stone mountain, which is fun, they have a trolley thing that you can ride to the top. There is a lot of fun things to do here!
