Didn’t get through your summer (sand)bucket list? Don’t worry, we didn’t either. We did have some cool adventures, though (even if that time was spent at the expense of regular blog posts). But if you’re looking to squeeze in a few more family outings — with the emphasis on “out” — before school starts, check out our event calendar for fun, affordable options like these:
Pokemon GO – Love it or hate it, it’s getting kids outside and nature venues are noticing… Here are three Pokemon hikes to check out this weekend (and we bet there will be more to come):
- Fort Yargo’s Pokemon Hunt (Northeast Georgia region)
- Full Moon Pokemon Hunt at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia at UGA (East Georgia region)
- Pokemon Go for a Night Hike at A.H. Stephens State Park (East Georgia region)
Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! Or, go exploring for some real-life critters on this bug-hunting hike at Birdsong Nature Center in Southwest Georgia guided by an invertebrate zoologist and his 10-year-old son.
Evening boat tours – Beat the heat with these sundown boat and paddle adventures:
- Twilight Lake Lanier Paddle at Don Carter State Park (check their website for other nights if this weekend doesn’t work for you). Rent one of their kayaks or save money by bringing your own.
- Twilight Pontoon Boat Tour at Reed Bingham State Park – watch how scenery and animal life changes with the setting sun.
