Shop the Avenue

The Avenue East Cobb offers nearly 50 stores, boutiques, and restaurants. At this popular open air shopping outlet you'll find an eclectic blend of big name brands, independent boutiques, and specialty retailers. You can spend the day wandering through your favorite shops or discover eclectic new ones. With events throughout the year, pop in during any season for fun happenings, like cooking workshops, train rides for the kids, and fun seasonal celebrations.



Skate Atlanta Ice House

Lace up and take to the ice year-round at Atlanta Ice House. This premiere public ice skating rink is open every season, with open skate, ice sports, figure skating lessons, and private event bookings. Bring the family or meet your friends and experience an exhilarating way to have fun. Skate rentals are available on site, along with seating, locker rooms, and concessions.



Explore Sope Creek Paper Mill Ruins

Tucked into the woods on the banks of Sope Creek, stone ruins offer a beautiful, haunting hiking destination. Hike the Sope Creek trail and explore serene woodlands and Rocky Creek sides. This family friendly trail features the remains of one of George's biggest paper mills. Once a leader in paper manufacturing, the mill was destroyed in 1864 by the Union Army on their march to Savannah. Today, the ruins are a popular attraction for photographers, history buffs, and tourists.



Shoot the Hooch

Shootin' the Hooch is a bucket list experience for anyone in the East Cobb area. Choose from one of several raft trip outfitters in the area, bring your friends, bring your cooler, and come prepared to get wet. Weather permitting, your guide will help you enter the water with a tube, canoe, or kayak. The Chattahoochee River is slow and easy to navigate, but you will definitely need sunscreen.



Eat!

East Cobb restaurants are some of the best around. From casual cuisine to fantastic fine dining, there’s something delicious for everyone in the Marietta area. We suggest avoiding the big name chain restaurants. Instead, try to find a locally owned East Cobb restaurant with seasonal menu offerings. Whether you choose prime steaks and seafood or burgers and salads, don’t forget to get a little something for your sweet tooth. There’s no better way to end the day after exploring East Cobb!
