Welcome to Georgia’s newest town and newest attraction
New in 2002, Stone Mountain Park has created an 1870s rural southern town, Crossroads. This thirty million dollar themed attraction represents the first new family entertainment added to the park in more than twenty-five years.
Georgia’s newest town is 130 years old and full of family fun. Crossroadssm, brings the 19th century to life through the stories of quirky town characters, including a singing sheriff, a peddler and the Rain Wizard.
Skilled craftspeople and artisans in period dress engage guests with demonstrations of glass blowing, candle dipping, peanut brittle pouring and confectionary production. The blacksmith pounds household and decorative items, while Thompson’s Gristmill & Bakery draws visitors with smells of freshly ground flour and warm cinnamon bread.
The Tall Tales of the Southsm 4-D Theater brings unexpected sensations to creative 3-D imagery as a grandfather teaches his grandchildren the art of storytelling. With special glasses, a frog’s tongue is the first element to stretch into the movie audience from its perch on a swamp log. Each viewing tickles the senses with special lighting, wind, falling rain and aromas from hot chocolate to a wandering skunk.
Miss Katie’s Sideboard Restaurant serves Southern homestyle cooking with moving tables and hot rolls that are literally “thrown.” The Georgia Railroad Burger Company across from the Memorial Railroad Depot offers burgers and shakes.
At The Great Barnsm, an indoor four-story
interactive playscape, rope nets, mazes, and super slides entertain active
children ages 4-12. The creative learning experience uses electronic wristbands
to score points as visitors help the fictional Pickens family harvest their
fruit at more than 65 interactive stations. High scorers are posted by age every
few minutes.
