Marietta Cobb Museum of Art

On hot summer days, you should look for activities that help beat the heat, so visiting the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art fits the bill. The museum offers an eclectic mix of exhibitions, classes, and events that everyone in your party can enjoy. During specific times of the year, the museum features work from local artists for visitors to enjoy, so be sure to visit their website to learn more. 


Marietta Square Farmers Market

While only open on Saturdays, the Marietta Square Farmers Market is the place to be in the summer, especially if you’re looking for fresh vegetables. The farmer’s market is open year-round, so visitors can stop by any time of the year and select from various options like homemade soaps, local honey, and much more. 


Six Flags White Water

If you’re into thrills and action and love getting wet, then the rides at Six Flags White Water should be a weekly destination this summer. Featuring 69 acres of refreshing water-filled activities, visitors can relax in the ocean wave pool or try out the Python Plunge or Dive Bomber, each featuring drops over 50 feet. 


Sope Creek Loop

Being outdoors is what makes summer in Marietta so exciting. While we’ve touched on different activities, sometimes getting back to nature is as good as it gets. The Sope Creek Loop is up to three miles long, depending on which trail you take, and wanders along the Chattahoochee River. Hikers can explore Sibley Pond, home to various wildlife, and meander past ruins from an old paper mill destroyed by Union forces during the Civil War. 


Eat at Mac’s Chophouse

There are many ways to cap off an exciting summer day in Marietta, but if you’re looking to feed the entire family, you’ll want to check out this Marietta steak restaurant. Mac’s Chophouse, in the heart of Marietta Square, has something for everyone. From steaks to seafood, Mac’s uses locally sourced ingredients to keep things fresh and offers a complete lunch and dinner menu. 


Try one of our classic cocktails or choose from our premium wines to pair with dessert. Our brunch is the best in town, so be sure to give it a try! Visit us at Mac's Chophouse today! We can’t wait to see you!
