    Great tourist attraction BUT either employees don't know much or don't care about customers. First night, I asked what time the laser show was, the employee wasn't sure but offered to ask someone. Day 2 another employee had no idea what the cost was for the sky ride and another didn't know if our wristbands were vip or standard access. All this just to say that I think the park has an opportunity to train employees better to assist their patrons. The Christmas laser show is amazing! And so is the warm cinnamon bread.

    Back here again and loving it just as much during cooler temperatures. Again, very well populated ... even when it's ~40 degrees. Today we opted for the paved trail around the park. Great movement and wonderful opportunity for leisure - or a more fast paced - bit of movement.

    Well, we really wanted to have fun, but unfortunately a lot of attractions are closed for the season, currently down for maintenance or just flat out weren't working. We want to the park on Saturday, Aug 22nd. We had fun on several things that were open like the train ride, and putt putt, but Dinosaur Explore and Skyhike were closed. On the website it showed that Dinosaur Explore was open, but maybe the worker who was supposed to be stationed there was not there at the time-no idea, but it was closed when we walked up. Even the Summit Skyride was currently down. When we went into Dinotorium the workers were just sitting around on their phones. We walked in, they greeted us and then we walked inside to the play area. The air for the machines was not working, so our kids couldn't play with any of the balls--couldn't shoot any of the air guns, or drop the balls into any of the shoots. The slides were also closed off, so our kids couldn't ride down those either. I get that it's off season for the park right now, but come on. It felt very disappointing, unfortunately. We pay $20 to get into the park and then full price for 6 people only to find out that half the stuff is either closed, currently down or broken. Would we come back? Maybe. If we did, I guess it would be during the on season when everything is open, BUT then you have to deal with the big crowds. At the time that we went, there weren't that many people in the park which made it feel very deserted. I recommend calling the park ahead of time to see what attractions are currently working and accessible. Last thing that really put the icing on the cake that I want to make sure people are aware of. We ate inside the Marketplace Kitchen for lunch. Their fountain drink(s) is NOT included in their combo meals. No where on their menu does it say the price of the fountain drink, so here it is: One fountain drink costs $5.75 and it is NOT refillable. They don't tell you this until you get up to the cash register to pay. (I have attached a picture of their menu)

    The scenery here is gorgeous!! Lots of activities, including a train ride, putt putt, glow in the dark area, 4D show, skylift, evening light show, etc. Overall great experience, but after seeing it once, I wouldn't need to go back again.

    Beautiful serene views -- October 2025

    Beautiful and serene fishing hole with gorgeous views and successful catch. The catch of the day today happened to be catfish (approximately 10" tip to tail) and did a catch and release.

    I did not get to see all this park has to offer, but it's so big! The one day fee is $20, so it really makes sense to get the yearly pass that appeared to be $60. We did the 5 mile looped walking trail which was very nice. There was even some shade on a hot day and not too many bugs. There was bathroom stops along the way and they were pretty clean for what it's worth. Parking is available and signage was pretty clear. You can climb up the mountains, they have a sky lift as well. There was also a waterfront area and zip lining . Lots to do!

    Fun place to visit and hike around. A variety of activities available for all ages! For most you have to pay extra though and it adds up!

    I had the chance to visit the park in July 2024. I must say that I throughly enjoyed the activities of the park. Our passes included food from the food area. Due to a severe thunderstorm in the area, we didn't stick around for the July 4th Drone show. We rode the train and walked through the park before the storms arrived but because lightning was in the vicinity, many of the activities were stopped. I wished that they would consider offering at least half off admission for weather events such as this. We visited again the next day and rode the Skyride up the mountain. Beautiful views and the hot, southern, summer sun awaited us at the top of the mountain. We lodged in the resort not too far from the park which was convenient and offered shuttle service to and from the park. I would like to go back soon, perhaps in a different season to avoid the summer heat and unpredictable thunderstorms. Pro Tip: Buy your tickets online. They are cheaper by a few dollars. Every dollar counts!

    Pavilions for picnics, walkways, walk trails, lawn for shows, Train ride, 4D shows, souvenirs shopping. Friendly staff, popcorn, ice cream, pretzels, chicken fingers, fries, funnel cakes, snacks, and other food options. September is Fall Festival theme, lots of pumpkin decorations.

    Every year I visit this amazing place. Absolutely a must visit for people who come to Georgia. The Stone Mountain is amazing. You can come up to the top by skyline or hike. You thirsty, they have the cafeteria on top. Loveliest during fall with all the foliage.

    Enjoyed myself there with my cousins. The hike was challenging but the views were amazing. I would definitely go back.

    We had such a great time at Stone Mountain! There's so much for kids to do, and a lot of the areas are completely free -- perfect for letting little ones get their wiggles out. You do have to pay a $20 entrance fee since it's a national park, but if you're coming from far away and it's during the week, they might let it slide (shhh ). On weekends, though, the $20 fee definitely applies. We visited during the Pumpkin Festival, and it was nonstop fun! My little one had the best time -- there were so many cool things to see, activities for all ages, and plenty of food spots for the whole family to enjoy. The Pumpkin Festival tickets are extra (about $35 each), but kids under 2-3 get in free. The ticket includes awesome experiences like a Skyride, a scenic train ride, and so much more! If you plan to visit, definitely bring a wagon because the kids will be tired after such a full day of fun. Also pack some lawn chairs and blankets so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful light show in the evening. Overall, Stone Mountain is such a fun and memorable place for families -- totally worth the trip!

    I came here 15 years ago as a teenager and had a great experience. They say nostalgia clouds memory, and either it really does or this place has gone severely downhill. My wife and I came to town for valentine's day and thought we would stop in for the Lunar New Year Festival. The festival was pretty cool, don't have any complaints about that. I had an awesome Taro milk tea and enjoyed seeing the sights. The mountain in itself is also really great. We are avid hikers and enjoyed walking to the top. We also enjoyed looking at the amazing carving on the side. Now for the bad. First of all, almost nothing about this place is open or operational. Maybe it's where it's the start of the season, but I was extremely dissapointed to find out that the visitor centers were both closed. All of the shops felt cheap and unorganized, like an afterthought. The employees were all very complacent and not very helpful. I am sure they are probably paid very little and there is probably not much management here to speak of, so I don't really blame them for that. With that said, the $20 dollar entry/parking fee is really irksome to me. I think you should be able to enter for free, if only to just observe the natural wonder. Makes you feel really taken advantage of to pay an entry fee only to find most of the amenities closed. Don't go here and expect much aside from looking at the mountain. The final straw for me was being harassed by a rather senior looking employee of the park. My wife and I had walked over to see if the Historic center was open (it wasnt). As we were walking back to the festival, two older men in Stone Mountain park uniforms stopped us and asked if we had wristbands. We were made to roll our sleeves up to prove we had paid entry. This angered me deeply, as we were just picked randomly out of a crowd to show proof we had paid to enter. I'm not sure many people would walk the several miles it would take in order to sneak in, and if they did good on them in my opinion.

    Totally cliché, but I'm going to daringly say that Henderson Park has something for everyone. When…read moreI was there, I observed a kids soccer game, picnickers, hikers, dogs being walked by their owners, Girl Scouts having a meeting, fisherpeople, photoshoots, children playing, birthday parties, and people just chilling by the lake. Seriously, that's nearly everyone who wants to be outside! Regarding hiking, the trails are not marked very clearly. The map doesn't show all the turnoffs, and it gets confusing. Maybe it's this way to give you a sense of adventure? At least it's tough to get really lost since you're often within sight of houses or the road. Beautiful woods! As for restrooms, there was a porta potty in the parking lot adjacent to the playground by Lake Erin, and the map indicates that there are other restrooms in Henderson Park too. Speaking of maps, I might recommend a quick peek at one before you go since the park can be accessed from different roads (Henderson and Livsey). Didn't get to explore the other side of the park with the native plant and wildlife walk this trip but next time!

This is a great neighborhood park. If I lived nearby, I'd take a walk here every chance I could. In addition to the trails, there are athletic fields, a kids play area and a great wide deck where people can look out at the lake or eat a nice lunch. There is a lot of parking and the park itself is well-maintained. I was able to find a map of the park trails online, and it was helpful but trail maps aren't perfect. I tried to walk as many of the trails as I could, but I was turned around a lot. We'd also had a lot of rain prior to my visit so a lower trail path by the lake was flooded. There is a small waterfall in the park, and I think I saw it but I'm not sure. There were a lot of rock formations in the creeks/streams, and none were labeled. I went to Henderson Park with a friend who needed to use the bathroom. The main bathrooms are located on the west end of the park by the soccer fields. On the east end of the park, there are port-a-potties. There are no bathrooms near the kids park which was a surprise and why I mention where the bathrooms are located. Overall, I'm glad that I gave Henderson Park a visit. The people who live nearby are lucky to have it.

This park is connected to a beautiful cemetery with such interesting history and views. It is so calming walking the paved paths amongst the burial sites and seeing the love and adoration of the families caring for their ancestors' resting places over the years. This park also has a tennis court, a public pool, a basketball court, a small baseball field, a general field, a pond, and a playground. It is clean and quiet, and those visiting the park are incredibly friendly.
