It may not feel like winter with some of these warmer temperatures lately, and there isn’t always snow in Locust Grove, GA. But there’s certainly plenty to do in the area this winter season. As a rental property owner in Locust Grove, these are the family fun adventures and activities you can be promoting to attract new renters in the New Year, too. Having so many options and amenities like these is what makes Locust Grove such a popular place for renting families.

1. Exploring the Magic of Downtown

It may be one of Henry County’s fastest-growing areas, but Locust Grove still prides itself on quiet, small-town feels. This winter, there is plenty to enjoy with a trip to the vibrant downtown. Sample the unique fare and experience a rich and colorful history you’ll only find in the South.

2. The Family Shopping Adventure

Hit up the post-holiday sales in Locust Grove as a family and have a fabulous weekend of great deals and rare finds. Stop in at the Tanger Outlets, located at 1000 Tanger Drive, for all the best sales. Don’t forget to browse and purchase a little something extra special for yourself while you’re outfitting your entire family.

3. Play a Little Bingo

If it’s a little too chilly outside, try your luck indoors with a family-get-together around the Bingo cards! Southern Crescent Veteran Services is holding the Monday Night Family Bingo at Southern Fusion Dining on the 24th. The Bingo fun starts at 7:00 PM and is a great night of fun, even if you don’t win big.

4. Dancing with the Stars, Locust Grove Style

Coming up in February, you’ll want to get your dancing shoes ready. It’s the third annual Dancing with the Stars of Henry County, sponsored by the Prevent Child Abuse network. And you’ll enjoy dinner, drinks, and yes, the dancing competition for amateur couples. There will additionally be a silent auction and professional dance entertainment. Tickets include dinner, a drink ticket, and dessert. Whether you compete in the dance-off or not, you’re guaranteed to have a fabulous time and for a great cause. So head over to the Locust Grove Event Center on February 12, and until then, start practicing your favorite moves!

5. Find a Cozy Place for Delicious Hot Cocoa as a Family

Another family-favorite activity to enjoy during the winter involves sipping on a hot, chocolatey treat – hot cocoa. So load up the littles and venture out to sample all the Locust Grove hot chocolate hotspots, including Crumbles by Nicole, Cake ‘n Shake, and Southern Fusion. You can even drive through Dunkin’ or pop into Maui Wowi for a warm cocoa-infused beverage. It’s a great winter treat the whole family will love on those especially cold Locust Grove winter afternoons.

6. Got Snow? Get the Sleds Out for a Ride Down Nearby Stone Mountain

Nearby Stone Mountain Park is a great way to spend a day in the powder with the whole family. With online reviews like “the kids played hard and had fun” and “the sledding is fun,” you know you’re in for a wintery good time. And if the mountain is closed, you can still enjoy the Stone Mountain Summit Skyride, play a little miniature golf, or hop aboard the Scenic Railroad for a tour around the mountain.
