29 Apr School’s Out: Marietta Activities to Kick Off Summer Break
May is upon us, which means summer break is just around the corner. This break in school often means an abundance of free time for many. Luckily enough, Marietta is the perfect place to make the most of that free time. Here are just a few ways you can enjoy your summer in Marietta.
Throw an Axe
American Axes is a fun way to release energy for anyone ages 12+. Located just off Franklin Gateway SE in Marietta, American Axes is fun for the whole family. With multiple lanes divided by barriers, axe throwing is safe and enjoyable. All axe throwers between 12-17 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Take a Hike
Check out the natural beauty of Kennesaw Mountain and its extensive trail system. When you are done there, see more sides of Marietta on a stroll down the Mountain to River Trail. Along the 1.8-mile path you can stop at Marietta staples like Sessions Stand or the Marietta Welcome Center.
