Six Flags is an action packed way to enjoy the holiday. With over 30 rides, the entertainment all over the park including performances, and food galore, Six Flags is a choice that the entire family will love. Until July 8th, the park is offering season passes for as low as 21.66 a month for 3 months. So even after the holiday has passed, your family can still enjoy the fun of summer whenever they want and invite friends along too!
The Children’s Museum of Atlanta
Imagine It! The Children’s Museum of Atlanta will give children the chance to make their own American flags and decorate funglasses to wear at the firework show that night at Centennial Park. Take your children to the museum at the beginning of the day so you and the adults can celebrate later. There is no age limit plus all children under 2 are free and general admission for adults. Since the museum is located downtown, a stop at the World of Coke can be added to the day’s festivities as well!
