Things to Do  When Not Covered in Fiber

If you stay in one of the cottages or at the inn, the admission fee is free.  Admission covers all of the the activities listed below except for the sporting/recreational ones like fishing or biking.  There is no fee to enter the property of Callaway Gardens and go to the Mountain Creek Conference Center.

Callaway Gardens isn’t just another family retreat in the Appalachian Mountains – it’s a 13,000-acre, award-winning luxurious Pine Mountain resort and center of enrichment that offers endless opportunities for adventure, discovery, and recreation.

Virginia Hand Callaway Discovery Center For an overview of the wonders awaiting you, begin your adventure at this lovely lakeside structure with an orientation theater, information desks, educational programs, artwork and exhibits. Also, check out one of the finest zip lines in Georgia located behind the Discovery Center.

Birds of Prey Show Watch in awe as our magnificent eagles, falcons, hawks, owls and vultures swoop overhead for daily face-to-beak demonstrations of their amazing survival skills.

Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center Over 1,000 tropical butterflies from more than 50 species flutter freely among exotic plants in this glass-enclosed conservatory.

John A. Sibley Horticultural Center Reflect in the serenity of native and exotic plants within the rock wall garden, sculpture garden, fern grotto, conservatory and outdoor garden settings.  Marvel at the 22-foot indoor waterfall, bronze sculptures and seasonal displays.

Overlook Garden Thousands of carefully cultivated azaleas of more than 700 varieties erupt into the world's most show-stopping display every spring.

Callaway Brothers Azalea Bowl Over 3,400 blooming azaleas and a vivid array of trees and shrubs present a colorful place to stroll in spring and throughout the year.

Mr. Cason's Vegetable Garden Home gardeners will be inspired by our 7.5-acre demonstration garden, the Southern setting for The Victory Garden, and its fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers and All America Trials garden.

Ida Cason Callaway Memorial Chapel Set amidst peaceful woodlands and Falls Creek Lake, this Gothic-style chapel features stained-glass windows depicting the seasons of the Southern forest. Organists fill the air with heavenly melodies from the Möller pipe organ.

Discovery Bicycle Trail Meander through 10 miles of bicycle trails for an up-close look at our flora and wildlife, with stops at all major Gardens attractions.

Pioneer Log Cabin Step back in time for a glimpse into pioneer life.  Constructed in the 1830s, this hand-hewn, yellow pine cabin exhibits original and period reproduction furniture.

Nature Trails Discover nature's beauty along our many scenic trails, ranging from one-half to 1.6 miles and providing easy to moderate walking.

Robin Lake Beach Splash down at the world's largest inland, sandy beach and hub of summer activities - including swimming, sunbathing, circus shows, mini-golf, table tennis, Fit Trail, paddleboats and more.
