Why Camp Near Marietta?
Things to Do Near Marietta, Georgia
Marietta Square anchors one of Atlanta's most walkable historic downtowns, ringed by restaurants, shops, and museums including the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art and the Marietta Museum of History. History runs deep here — Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park preserves a major Civil War site with hiking trails woven through the battlefield, and the William Root House Museum & Garden adds a preserved 1840s home to the mix. Marietta also has a lighter side: The Big Chicken is a genuine only-in-Georgia landmark, Six Flags White Water offers a full day of water park fun, and Smith-Gilbert Gardens gives visitors 16 acres of landscaped grounds to wander.
