Atlanta’s neighbor in the greater metropolitan area, Cobb County is a sweet spot for travelers: you get the Southern charm of suburban Georgia while being a half-hour away from a major city. With attractions like Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, and Six Flags, Cobb County is a particularly great place for family vacations. But there’s a little something for everyone, from historical sites and outdoor spaces to great restaurants and breweries. These are some of the best things to do in Cobb County, plus where to eat, drink, and stay.

About 10 miles outside of downtown Atlanta, in Cobb County’s Cumberland, Truist Park is the proud home of the Atlanta Braves. If you’re in town during baseball season, you’ll appreciate the 41,000-seat ballpark’s timeless charm, modern amenities, and wide array of concessions. It’s worth a visit in the off-season, too, thanks to year-round Truist Park Tours.

Before or after taking in a Braves game, head to The Battery, located right next to Truist Park, where you’ll find 22 bars and restaurants. Walk the plaza with a cold one or grab a bite at PH’EAST, a food hall that was inspired by Asia’s hawker markets. There are a variety of Asian street food vendors, including Lifting Noodles Ramen, 26 Thai, Fan T’Asia, and Poke Burri. You can eat indoors or on the 1,500-square-foot covered patio. You can also stay right by the action at The Battery’s Omni Hotel. The hotel has its own drinking and dining venues, including the National Anthem restaurant and the 582 Waterside Lounge & Bar.

Vinings Jubilee is an outdoor mall in Vinings that houses a community of Cobb County merchants. It’s the perfect setting for a family outing, a good meal, or a shopping spree. I had a great cup of coffee at Read Shop by the Merchant while pursuing its book selection, then enjoyed the sunshine as I walked by restaurants like SOHO and Stockyard Burgers & Bones and workout studios like Pure Barre and Orangetheory Fitness.
The Vinings Jubilee Farmers Market is a weekly event that takes place every Thursday throughout the year. Over 20 farmers and vendors come together to showcase their fresh produce and goods along New Paces Ferry Road from 2 PM to 5 PM.
