An old fashioned drive in that is still fully operational. Located in nearby Blue Ridge GA. Went to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in summer 2014. Bring cash. Well behaved dogs on leash permitted. Ours got too restless—probably should have tired them out earlier in the day.

Sightseeing

A real hidden treasure, this place has only been open to the public for a few years. Definitely worth the price. Located in nearby Ball Ground GA. Read all the details on their web site. Most people will need to spend the extra money for the shuttle within the grounds. Even then, there is a good amount of walking so be prepared for that and the weather.
