Whether you’re having an Atlanta staycation or traveling from somewhere else, this list of family-friendly hotels and spa resorts guarantees families will enjoy their stay in the A-T-L. With a metro population of six million people, Atlanta boasts world-class museums, sporting events, theaters, shopping, and restaurants, as well as fantastic hotels and spa resorts. Whether your family desires outdoor amenities, like fully loaded pools and water features, or indoor attractions, like family movie nights, these Atlanta spa resorts and hotels are perfect for guests of all ages.  

We’ve also rounded up kid-friendly spa resorts way beyond the perimeter (still within 90 miles of Atlanta). If you’re looking to play golf, take a horseback ride, sail on a lake, or just relax by the pool, these nearby spots in The Peach State are worthy of a visit. When you book your hotel or spa resort stay, confirm amenities as staffing shortages may disrupt pool, fitness center, and restaurant hours of operation.

Looking for a great family activity to get you out of your comfort zone? Imagine soaring among a tree canopy on an Atlanta zipline or ropes course. Everyone will get a good workout and have fun while improving gross motor skills, balance, and concentration. An added benefit of the ropes course and zipline is the adrenaline rush and boost of self-confidence that completing an Atlanta zipline or ropes course provides.

Whether your family consists of novices or experienced thrill seekers, check out our list of Atlanta ziplines and ropes courses in the area. (Don't worry if the weather isn’t cooperative, we’ve included several indoor places as well.) Book reservations to ensure availability and make sure your group meets any age, height, or weight requirements. Wear sturdy sneakers and save time by completing waivers online.
