1. MARTA Adventure to Downtown Atlanta or Sporting Event:

Step into the beat of downtown Atlanta or cheer on your favorite team at a sporting event—all just a MARTA ride away. The energy is contagious, and the possibilities are endless.

Steve and I find, Marta a great way to get to nearby sporting events and downtown entertainment.

Feel the thrill of outdoor adventures along the serene Chattahoochee River. Kayak, paddleboard, or simply stroll along the riverbanks.

Not sure what to do in Sandy Springs outdoors?  My recommendation is to book a fly fishing experience with River Through Atlanta.  No experience with gear is needed.  Your tour guide will take care of gear and first-time instructions.
