Callaway Gardens

Callaway Gardens is an outdoor recreational area outside Atlanta, Georgia, that has activities for the entire family. The extensive property of the gardens includes several lakes that have boating, fishing, and watersports facilities as well as beaches for relaxing, along with lots of natural exhibits. There are a number of dining outlets at Callaway Gardens but feel free to bring your own picnic. Dining and shopping options are also scattered throughout the territory for easy access to the fun. However, what really draws the crowds to Callaway are its many natural exhibits.

The gardens have a dedicated azalea garden, a historical pioneer log cabin as well as hydrangea and holly gardens. The azalea garden is particularly beautiful when in full bloom. You can walk through the gardens, see the historic pioneer log cabin or go about exploring the LEED-certified Butterfly Center where there’s a light show going on during the holidays which is really popular. Its LEED-certified Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center is a place where more than 1,000 butterflies from 50 species make their home and welcome guests throughout the year. Also on the grounds are two excellent golf courses and in December, Christmas at Callaway is the south's most spectacular display of Christmas lights.
