There are lots of great Atlanta art spots that not only manage colorful messes, they encourage them!

Take a look at our favorite Atlanta attractions that celebrate messy inspiration.
Roller skating in Atlanta just got a whole lot cooler this summer with the addition of the newly opened SK8 the Roof! SK8 the Roof, a 3,000-square-foot, covered outdoor roller skating rink perched 10 stories above Atlanta’s iconic Ponce City Market, debuted last week and will stay open daily throughout the summer. And when Atlanta families take the elevator ride up to SK8, they also get access to the other amazing rooftop attractions at Skyline Park.

School is out and we've got the ultimate Atlanta summer bucket list for teens and tweens! Summer vacation can be tough for older kids -- with more mature interests and potentially no access to a car (or a driver's license), teens may get overlooked. But don't worry, we at Mommy Poppins have your teenagers in mind with this awesome Atlanta summer bucket list to keep them entertained, engaged, and off their devices (at least for a few hours).
We may not be able to keep up with all the current teen lingo, but we'll make sure parents "ate" with teen summer planning that "slaps," making you the "GOAT." OK, just keep reading for our summer teen bucket list...I promise it's better than my usage of teen slang.
Outdoor water parks in Atlanta are a must-do to escape the brutal summer heat. Whether thrill-seekers prefer the more intense water park slides or younger/more cautious kiddos choose a calming lazy river ride, there is the perfect aquatic attraction for everyone. Atlanta has big water parks as well as county and city-run aquatic centers so we've included them all.
Before heading out to these Atlanta outdoor water parks, remember to load up on sunscreen and UV swimwear. Diaper-aged children must wear appropriate swim diapers in addition to swimwear. (If you forget to pack swim diapers, many water parks sell these at gift shops.)
Peach picking farms in Atlanta just makes sense — after all, Georgia is the Peach State! It seems every street has "Peachtree" in the name; heck, the fuzzy fruit even appears on our license plates! Peach picking in Atlanta occurs from mid-May to early August, though timing can be affected by issues regarding weather, crop health, etc. We're lucky to have access to great u-pick peach farms near Atlanta. Beyond peach picking, many Atlanta farms also offer entertaining, family-friendly.
