1/8/20 - By James Smith

The holiday season has come to a close in Atlanta. But that doesn't mean the fun has to stop.

The city is brimming with activity on the first weekend back from holiday break. Enjoy snow tubing and more in Roswell, a museum afternoon in Atlanta, or perhaps a fun, family portrait session right in the downtown.

Back in Roswell, kids can enjoy a nature walk or perhaps a stage presentation of Schoolhouse Rock. (Who could ever forget "Conjunction Junction"?) A few holiday events remain if you just can't let go of the season, including train rides and light shows. 

Whatever you do, know your friends at Mommy Poppins Atlanta will be with you all through 2020.

Need more inspiration? See our rundown of 35 must-do things with kids in the Atlanta area. And remember, our events calendar is loaded with fun, family events through January and beyond. Sign up for our FREE newsletters to receive posts such as this right to your inbox.
