Stone Mountain Park Sightseeing Tour is one of the famous tourist spots situated in Stone Mountain, Georgia, on the outskirts of Atlanta city. This park is named after a huge dome-shaped granite mountain, which is the largest exposed granite dome in North America and its height is 825 feet tall. The park is spread over an area of 3,000 acres and houses multiple attractions, activities, and events, making it a great place for family outings, outdoor enthusiasts, etc.
Stone Mountain Park’s history dates back to the early 19th century when the area was used for quarrying granite. At the beginning of the 20th century, the mountain became a famous tourist spot and the scenic railroad was developed. Presently the park offers a variety of activities and attractions, including hiking trails, a golf course, a ropes course, a Skyride to the top of the mountain, and the popular Laser show that takes place in the evening and features a beautiful display of lights, music, and fireworks.
This park also houses multiple historic sites and also displays the memorial carving of a massive relief sculpture on the side of the mountain displaying the Decorated leaders Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. The park also organizes a number of events throughout the year, including festivals, concerts, and holiday celebrations.
About the activity
I recently took the Stone Mountain Park Sightseeing Tour and it was fantastic! The highlight of the tour was the Skyride, which provided breathtaking views of the mountain and surrounding landscape.
The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing interesting facts and stories about the park and its history. The laser show was also a great way to end the evening.
It’s not mandatory to book the tickets in advance but one can book it online in advance to avoid long lines at the ticket booth and some of the attractions like Skyride require advance reservation.
