1 / 3Margaritaville at Lanier Islands
đ Buford, GA
Set on Lake Lanier less than an hour from Atlanta, Fins Up Water Park opens in May with high-speed slides, a wave pool, kids' splash zones, and lakeside cabanas.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids of mixed ages during the summer water park season - younger children have dedicated splash zones and the wave pool suits older kids and teens. Pontoon rentals add a flexible lake day option outside the park. Overnight glamping extends the trip into a full weekend.

âAttended a birthday party on a yacht. The captain and crew were amazing. The atmosphere on the lake was calm and relaxing. The view of the surroundings from the water was amazing. Awesome experience! I will be returning to enjoy all the other amenities offered here including the Waterpark and the beautiful scenery!â

Overview

Off the water, pontoon boat rentals let families cruise Lake Lanier independently. LandShark Bar & Grill anchors the dining options, and Camp Margaritaville provides RV sites, tiny cabins, and glamping tent cottages for overnight stays. The resort is roughly 45 minutes from Atlanta.
