Even as we enjoy fairly mild winters in Atlanta, most of us Southerners tend to hibernate rather than brave the not-quite-freezing temperatures. But for those of us who get cabin fever, there are some outdoor activities this winter that are sure to keep kids active and engaged. 

From snow tubing at Snow Island in Margaritaville to MLK Day events, outdoor entertainment, and light shows, even in these COVID times there is something for everyone this winter in Atlanta. We've handpicked our favorite Atlanta winter activities, so bundle up, gather your crew, and prepare for some wintertime fun. 

Easter is a special time to get dressed up and enjoy family time. With the weather (hopefully) favorable in early April, it's also a great opportunity to dine al fresco at some of Atlanta's restaurants that serve up a festive Easter Sunday meal. 

Families who prefer takeout have plenty of options, too.  Either way, we can still gather around the table to dye Easter eggs or perhaps another holiday craft; enjoy an Easter egg hunt in the backyard, balconies, or living rooms; and dress in our Easter best to share a special brunch or dinner with our families.

After weeks of coronavirus lockdown, only seeing each other in car parades and 8pm howls, giving our kids at-home haircuts for virtual birthday parties, and only buying gifts via pick-up or delivery, Georgia paved the way as one of the first states to allow businesses to slowly open doors. Phase one of the reopening began May 1, with more restrictions removed each week since. Governor Kemp's decision has been met with mixed feelings; while some patrons and businesses are eager to restart something that resembles pre-pandemic life, others still weigh the risks and choose to remain mostly at home. Whichever your perspective, there are options now for getting out of the house, and we've pulled together some that interest families most.
