Did you know one of only 13 scale-model solar system walking tours in the world is right here in North Georgia?
We recently explored Gainesville’s Solar System Walking Tour, a unique 1.8-mile journey that starts at the Sun in Downtown Gainesville and stretches all the way to Lake Lanier. Along the way, you’ll discover planet monuments, fascinating space facts, beautiful parks, and a whole new appreciation for just how vast our solar system really is.
Come walk through the solar system with us.☀️🪐✨
*You can grab a map at the Gainesville Visitor Center at 300 Henry Ward Way!
