I have to admit that I was told by someone back home that, while visiting the Atlanta area, Stone Mountain was a sight to see. I was skeptical, but I went, and was amazed by it. Maybe I'm not your typical tourist, but I enjoy natural history and seeing geologic formations, so even though it was a cold, wet, misty day, I enjoyed it. The short tram ride is not for those affraid of heights, though, since it's very steep. The carving was interesting. The mtn. was the only thing I visited at the park. We went off-season.
Pros: kids will love tram, unusual, a sight to see
Cons: pricey tram ride
