New York City has Central Park. Not to be outdone, Macon has Central City Park. This lush, expansive swath of greenery is a true haven for city-dwelling nature lovers. While the park is a popular lunch destination for the many nearby cubicle-bound office workers, it also offers urbanites a great place to enjoy some quality time doing fun outdoor activities. Central City Park features various ball fields, basketball courts and big expansive areas to just play and throw the frisbee around. Designated picnic areas, a good variety of playground equipment for the kids, and a winding walking path only add to the park's appeal.

Theatre Macon offers some of the area's best theatrical productions that include an impressive entertainment schedule of comedies, dramas and musicals in an appealing and intimate setting that draws the audience into the action in a very special way. Established in 1985, Theatre Macon produces six major productions a year that range from classics to recently written work. When you're here, it isn't just to see a show--it 's more like meeting up with a group of long lost friends!

Explore some of Macon's most dramatic history when you take the kids out to experience the stories and conflicts that make the Ocmulgee National Monument such a compelling place to visit. This attraction is an incredible slice of history that documents over ten millennia of Southeastern Native American culture. Features of the monument include major earthworks built over 1,00 years ago, a great temple and other highly impressive structures that the kids will love learning about.
