17 Best Things to Do in Macon, GA (2026 Guide)

The best things to do in Macon GA start with two free stops — Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park and Rose Hill Cemetery — plus one paid house museum (Hay House) and one paid music museum (the Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House). Macon sits about 85 miles south of Atlanta, close enough for a full day trip and easy enough for an overnight. Its downtown is flat, walkable, and small enough to cover most of this list on foot once you’ve parked.

This guide covers Macon’s biggest draws with verified hours, admission prices, drive time, and parking, plus a family- and dog-practicality note for each stop. If you’re timing a trip around the pink trees, the International Cherry Blossom Festival runs about ten days every March.

Quick picks: Ocmulgee Mounds if you only have two hours, the Big House for Allman Brothers fans, Hay House and Rose Hill Cemetery together for a half-day of Macon history, and Amerson River Park if the kids or the dog need to run, and the Museum of Arts and Sciences if the weather turns.

What are the top things to do in Macon, GA?

Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park

Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park is free to enter and is the single most important historic site in Macon. The park preserves earthen mounds built by Indigenous peoples starting around 900 CE, including the Great Temple Mound and a reconstructed Earth Lodge with its original 1,000-year-old floor.

• Cost: No entrance fee — the National Park Service confirms no pass is required.
• Hours: grounds and walking trails 8am-5pm daily; the Visitor Center and Earth Lodge are open 9am-5pm daily. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.
• Drive time from downtown Macon: about 5 minutes; it’s inside the city limits off US-80.
• Dogs: leashed dogs (6-foot leash max) are welcome on the outdoor trails and mound grounds but not inside the Visitor Center, except service animals. A seasonal water bowl sits near the Visitor Center fountain in warmer months.
• Stroller access: the paved path to the Great Temple Mound and the Earth Lodge boardwalk are stroller-manageable; the mound-top climb itself is a grass incline.
• Best time: weekday mornings avoid both summer heat and weekend crowds; fall brings cooler temperatures for the mound-top walk.
• Tip: budget 90 minutes to 2 hours to see the Visitor Center exhibits, the Earth Lodge, and at least the Great Temple Mound.

Hay House

Hay House is an 18,000-square-foot Italian Renaissance Revival mansion built in the 1850s, and its guided tour is the best single look at antebellum Macon wealth. The house is sometimes called the “Palace of the South” for its scale and imported detailing.

• Cost: $11 adult, $10 senior (65+) or military with ID, $7 student (age 6 through college with ID), free for children under 6. Georgia Trust members enter free.
• Hours: Wednesday-Saturday 10am-5pm (last tour 4pm); Sunday 11am-5pm (last tour 4pm); closed Monday and Tuesday.
• Drive time from downtown Macon: under 5 minutes; it sits in the historic Vineville/downtown corridor.
• Stroller access: the house is a multi-floor guided tour with stairs; a stroller is impractical inside, though the grounds and sidewalk are flat.
• Dogs: not permitted inside the historic house; call ahead at (478) 742-8155 about grounds-only visits.
• Tip: tours run on the hour and depart from the visitor entrance — arrive at least 15 minutes before your preferred tour time.

Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House

The Big House is the Tudor-style mansion where members of the Allman Brothers Band lived communally from 1970 to 1973, now a museum of instruments, stage gear, and band history. It’s the essential stop for Southern rock fans visiting Macon.

• Cost: $20 regular admission, $15 senior/military/student, $10 for children 10 and under, per the museum’s official site.
• Hours: Thursday-Saturday 11am-6pm, Sunday 11am-4pm; gates close 45 minutes before closing, so plan your visit accordingly. Closed Monday-Wednesday.
• Address: 2321 Vineville Ave, about a 5-minute drive from downtown Macon.
• Parking: free on-site lot.
• Family/dog note: this is a house-museum with narrow rooms and glass display cases — not ideal for strollers or dogs; call (478) 741-5551 with specific accessibility questions.
• Tip: pair this stop with Rose Hill Cemetery, a 10-minute drive away, where Duane Allman and Berry Oakley are buried.

Rose Hill Cemetery

Rose Hill Cemetery is a free, 50-acre Victorian cemetery on the Ocmulgee River bluffs, and it’s one of Macon’s most-visited free attractions for its Civil War-era monuments, river views, and Allman Brothers connection. Duane Allman and Berry Oakley are both buried here.

• Cost: free, self-guided walking.
• Hours: open daily from sunrise to sunset.
• Dogs: welcome on leash — the cemetery is a regular spot for local dog walkers and joggers.
• Stroller access: paved and gravel roads wind through the grounds; some older sections have uneven, sloped terrain.
• Address: 1071 Riverside Dr., along the banks of the Ocmulgee River, with the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail running past the cemetery. Established in 1840 and now on the National Register of Historic Places. No official drive time from downtown is published.
• Restrooms: none on-site — plan accordingly before you arrive.
• Tip: the Historic Macon Foundation runs guided history walks through the cemetery several times a year, including Allman Brothers-themed tours; check Historic Macon Foundation’s site for the current schedule.

Tubman Museum

The Tubman Museum is one of the largest museums in the Southeast dedicated to African American art, history, and culture, with a permanent collection, rotating exhibits, and a mural-lined main hall depicting African American history from Africa through the present.

• Cost: $10 adult, $6 children/teens (ages 3-17), $9 seniors (55+) and college students with valid ID, free for members, per the museum’s official pricing page.
• Hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 9am-5pm; closed Sunday and Monday.
• Address: 310 Cherry Street, in downtown Macon — walkable from most downtown parking decks.
• Family/dog note: single-level, stroller-friendly galleries; service animals only inside.
• Tip: budget about an hour for the permanent collection and check the current special-exhibit schedule before you go.

Amerson River Park

Amerson River Park is Macon’s largest free green space, with 7 miles of trails along the Ocmulgee River — the place to send kids or dogs to burn off energy between museum stops.

• Cost: free.
• Hours: 7:30am-8pm daily under the park’s daylight-saving hours of operation.
• Trails: 7 miles total, mixed paved and natural-surface, used for walking, running, and biking.
• Drive time from downtown Macon: about 10 minutes.
• Family/dog note: wide, flat riverside sections near the entrance are stroller-friendly; leashed dogs are common on the trails, so bring water and waste bags.
• Tip: go in the early morning or evening in summer — the trail has limited shade along the river.

International Cherry Blossom Festival

Macon’s International Cherry Blossom Festival runs about ten days every March, timed to when the city’s roughly 350,000 Yoshino cherry trees bloom. The festival started in 1982 and has run every year since, based out of Carolyn Crayton Park.

• Timing pattern: late March each year — the 2027 festival is scheduled for March 19-28, 2027. Because it’s tied to bloom time rather than a fixed date, always confirm the current year’s dates on the festival’s official site before booking a trip.
• Cost: many festival activities, including strolling the driving trail and neighborhood displays, are free; specific events like guided van tours and the food-and-beverage trail are ticketed separately.
• Family note: the festival includes parades and family-oriented park events at Carolyn Crayton Park — check the year’s schedule for kid-specific programming.
• Where: Carolyn Crayton Park, which Macon-Bibb County lists at 150 Willie Smokie Glover Drive in downtown Macon. No official drive time from downtown is published.
• Park admission and parking: entry to Carolyn Crayton Park is $10 per day during the festival, with children 10 and under free. The festival lists two Carolyn Crayton Park lots plus free park-and-walk options signed along Walnut Street, but does not publish a price for the park lots themselves.
• Park hours: Monday-Thursday and Sunday noon-9pm, Friday noon-10pm, Saturday 10am-10pm. Gates close an hour before the park does and there is no re-entry.
• Dogs: no pets are allowed inside Carolyn Crayton Park.
• Strollers: no stroller policy is published, but the bag rules are strict — clear bags only, one unopened water bottle per person, no coolers and no outside food or drink. Medical and diaper bags are allowed after a security check.
• Kids: children 15 and under must be chaperoned by an adult aged 21 or over.
• Tip: book lodging early — this is Macon’s single busiest week of the year, and hotel rates rise accordingly.

Museum of Arts and Sciences

The Museum of Arts and Sciences is Macon’s best bad-weather stop for children: one $10 adult ticket covers the art galleries, the hands-on Discovery House, a live-animal Mini Zoo and shows in the Mark Smith Planetarium. It sits on Forsyth Road with its own free lot, away from the downtown cluster, so treat it as its own half of a day rather than a walk-between stop.

• Cost: $10 adults (18+), $5 children (3-17), $8 seniors (62+), $8 military with ID, $7 college students with ID; free for members and children under 3. Planetarium shows are included with general admission.
• Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5pm; closed Sunday and Monday.
• Address and parking: 4182 Forsyth Road, with free parking on the museum lot on Forsyth Road.
• Planetarium: shows run Tuesday-Saturday at 11:30am, 2pm and 4pm.
• Mini Zoo: live animal experiences run Tuesday-Friday at 3pm, and Saturday at 1pm and 3pm.
• Stroller access: strollers are allowed in the main areas at all times, and the museum states that all galleries, facilities and parking lots are wheelchair accessible.
• Dogs: no pet policy is published — call (478) 477-3232 before bringing an animal other than a service dog.
• Tip: time your arrival around one planetarium show and one live-animal session. Both are included in admission and both run on fixed schedules, so arriving at random wastes the best part of the ticket.

Mercer Music at Capricorn

Mercer Music at Capricorn is the restored home of Capricorn Sound Studios, where the Allman Brothers Band recorded significant portions of three albums and the Marshall Tucker Band, the Charlie Daniels Band, Wet Willie and Elvin Bishop all cut records. Phil Walden launched Capricorn Records here in 1969 with guidance from Atlantic Records’ Jerry Wexler; Mercer University reopened the complex with a museum, the historic Studio A and a new Studio B. At $7 it is the cheapest music-history ticket in Macon.

• Cost: $7 for the museum; $10 for a studio tour.
• Hours: Wednesday-Thursday 11am-6pm, Friday-Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday 10am-3pm; closed Monday and Tuesday.
• Address: 530 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., in downtown Macon.
• What is inside: more than 1,200 square feet of artifacts, murals and interactive digital kiosks, including a digital record-bin interactive for browsing the label’s discography, plus a listening station and a retail store.
• Kids angle: the interactive kiosks and listening station hold school-age attention far better than a house tour does; the museum alone is the better bet with younger children, with the studio tour saved for teenagers.
• Stroller and dog access: not published — call 478-301-7625 with access questions.
• Tip: the museum and the studio tour are ticketed separately, so budget $17 per adult if you want both.

The Cannonball House

The Cannonball House is the Macon house that took a direct hit in the Civil War. In 1864, during the Battle of Dunlap Hill, a Union shell fired from near the present-day site of Ocmulgee Mounds bounced through the front of the house and came to rest in the hallway. Judge Asa Holt, a local planter, had built the place in 1853. The guided tour is the cheapest house-museum ticket in Macon and the shortest, which matters with children.

• Cost: $12 adults, $10 seniors, $10 military, $5 students (K5 through college), free for children under 4.
• Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10am-3:30pm, with tours every half hour; closed Sunday and Monday, and on major holidays.
• Address: 856 Mulberry Street, in the downtown historic district.
• Parking: free parking behind the house, on Mulberry Street Lane.
• Tour length: 45 minutes, covering the main house plus the brick kitchen and servants’ quarters.
• Kids angle: the cannonball story gives elementary-age children something concrete to picture, and 45 minutes is short enough to hold them.
• Stroller and dog access: not published — call (478) 745-5982 before you go.
• Tip: tours run every half hour up to the 3:30pm close, so arrive by about 2:45pm if you want a full one.

Georgia Sports Hall of Fame

The Georgia Sports Hall of Fame is a 43,000-square-foot state museum on Cherry Street, built to look like a turn-of-the-century ballpark down to the red-brick exterior and green roof. Inside are more than 14,000 square feet of exhibit space, a Hall of Fame corridor honoring the state’s 400-plus inductees, and a 205-seat theater. At $8 for adults and $3.50 for children it is the cheapest full-size museum in downtown Macon.

• Cost: $8 adults (17 and over), $6 seniors (55 and over), $6 college students with ID, $6 military with ID, $3.50 children (16 and under).
• Hours: Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 10am-3pm; closed Sunday and Monday.
• Address: 301 Cherry Street, downtown and walkable from the Park Macon decks — the same street as the Tubman Museum.
• Kids angle: a sports museum is the easiest sell after two history stops, and any child who plays anything will find a name they recognize.
• Stroller and dog access: not published; call (478) 752-1585 with access questions.
• Tip: Saturday closes at 3pm, two hours earlier than the weekdays, so do not leave this one until the end of a Saturday itinerary.

Ocmulgee Heritage Trail

The Ocmulgee Heritage Trail is the free path system that ties this list together. It now runs more than thirteen miles along both sides of the Ocmulgee River, passing Rose Hill Cemetery, with entrances including Amerson River Park, and it connects toward Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park. NewTown Macon publishes the trail map; Macon-Bibb Parks and Beautification looks after the parks along it.

• Cost: free.
• Length: over thirteen miles, on both banks of the river, with the northern end at Bass Road.
• Access points: Jackson Springs Park, Spring Street Landing, the Otis Redding Bridge, Carolyn Crayton Park, Gateway Park, Rotary Park and Riverside Cemetery.
• Uses: walking, running, biking, picnicking, canoeing, kayaking and rollerblading.
• Kids angle: several parks along the trail have playgrounds, so a walk can be broken into short legs with a payoff at each end.
• Stroller and dog access: not published for the trail as a whole; the Amerson River Park entrance is the flattest place to join it, and leashed dogs are common on that stretch.
• Hours: no trail hours are published — treat it as a daylight route.
• Tip: questions about trail conditions and the parks along it go to Macon-Bibb Parks and Beautification at (478) 803-0484.

Luther Williams Field

Luther Williams Field, built in 1929, is one of the oldest operating ballparks in North America, and a summer Macon Bacon game there is the easiest evening on this list with children in tow. The Bacon play in the Coastal Plain League, so this is a summer-only proposition; outside the season the team invites visitors to walk through the ballpark on weekdays and read the Wall of Fame.

• Cost: single-game tickets go on sale in early May each year and prices are not published year-round. A child who will sit on your lap for the whole game does not need a ticket; a child who needs their own seat does.
• Parking: free general-admission parking behind the ballpark, on the southeast side; VIP and accessible parking is in front.
• Address: 225 Willie Smokie Glover Drive, in downtown Macon.
• Off-season visit: walk through the ballpark Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm.
• Dogs: registered service animals only, with the exception of Bark in the Park night (June 18 in 2026).
• Bags: all bags are subject to search on entry.
• Tip: check the schedule before you build a trip around a game — there is no baseball here outside the summer season.

Lake Tobesofkee

Lake Tobesofkee is Macon-Bibb County’s lake recreation area and the answer to a hot afternoon when nobody wants another museum. Three county parks share the lake, and between them they have three white-sand swimming beaches, a water park at Sandy Beach, camping, fishing, boating, pickleball, hiking and disc golf.

• Cost: the county does not publish day-use or camping fees on its Lake Tobesofkee site; camping is booked through the site’s online reservation system.
• Hours: Arrowhead and Claystone Parks are open 365 days a year.
• The three parks: Claystone Park (6600 Moseley Dixon Road) and Sandy Beach Park (6880 Moseley Dixon Road) sit on Moseley Dixon Road near I-475; Arrowhead Park (2800 Arrowhead Drive, Lizella) is on Columbus Road near U.S. 80.
• Kids angle: the swimming beaches and the Sandy Beach water park are the draw, and the county also keeps the Mary Jane Newberry Butterfly Habitat here.
• Dogs: the recreation area is pet-friendly and dogs must be leashed when not inside an RV, but pets are not allowed in bathhouses, playground areas or beach areas — so a beach day is not a dog day.
• Camping: check-in is 2pm and check-out is noon, with no exceptions.
• Tip: picnic shelters and pavilions must be reserved in advance — call the office at (478) 803-4556.

Central City Park

Central City Park — which Macon-Bibb County lists as Carolyn Crayton Park — is the downtown green space that hosts the International Cherry Blossom Festival every March. For the rest of the year it is an ordinary city park with three separate playgrounds, walking trails, an outdoor classroom and a koi pond, which makes it the obvious place to let children run between downtown museum stops.

• Cost: the county does not publish a day-use fee for the park. During the Cherry Blossom Festival, Carolyn Crayton Park charges $10 per day, with children 10 and under free.
• Address: 150 Willie Smokie Glover Drive.
• Amenities: three playgrounds, an outdoor classroom, walking trails, a koi pond and three pavilions — the largest with six picnic tables and two grills.
• Hours: not published for the park itself. Festival hours are Monday-Thursday and Sunday noon-9pm, Friday noon-10pm and Saturday 10am-10pm, with gates closing an hour before the park does.
• Kids angle: three playgrounds in one park, on the same street as Luther Williams Field at number 225, so a playground stop and a Macon Bacon game can be a single trip.
• Dogs: no pets are allowed inside Carolyn Crayton Park during the Cherry Blossom Festival; the county does not publish a year-round pet rule.
• Tip: the pavilions range from two picnic tables to six with two grills, so agree on which one before you split up with another family.

The Douglass Theatre

The Douglass Theatre is the theatre Charles Douglass built in 1921 as a place where Black performers and audiences could shine during segregation. Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Cab Calloway, Little Richard, James Brown and a young Otis Redding all played this stage. It closed in 1973, sat empty for almost a decade, and reopened in the 1990s after a $2.3 million renovation; today it programmes live music, theatre, film and arts education a block from the Tubman Museum.

• Cost: varies by event — the theatre does not publish a standing admission or tour price.
• Hours: no daily opening hours are published. The theatre runs on its event calendar, and doors open 30 minutes before the listed show time.
• Address: 355 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd; box office (478) 742-2000, info@douglasstheatre.org.
• Seating: multi-level, orchestra and balcony, with general open seating unless a specific event says otherwise. ADA seating is on the orchestra level with ramp access.
• Kids angle: this is a show rather than a walk-in museum, so it suits children old enough to sit through a performance.
• Stroller and dog access: not published — email the theatre before a show if you are bringing a young child.
• Tip: check the event calendar before you build a day around it; there is nothing to tour between shows.

The Piedmont Grand Opera House

The Piedmont Grand Opera House opened as the Academy of Music in 1884, became the Grand Opera House in 1904, and after decades as a cinema and a long decline it was restored and reopened in 1970 with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Mercer University has operated it since 1995 and renovated it again in 2016-17. It is the grandest room in Macon to see a show, and the parking is free at the door.

• Cost: varies by show; no standing admission is published. A child aged 3 or younger who will sit on your lap for the whole performance does not need a ticket.
• Box office hours: Tuesday and Thursday noon-4pm, Friday noon-6pm.
• Address: 651 Mulberry Street; box office (478) 301-5470.
• Parking: free, in the lot directly adjacent to the theater.
• Kids angle: the lap-child rule makes a matinee workable with a toddler under 3; above that age everyone needs a ticket.
• Stroller and dog access: not published; ask the box office about service animals.
• Tip: the box office is open only three afternoons a week, so buy ahead rather than counting on walk-up tickets.

Where should you eat in downtown Macon?

Downtown Macon’s dining is walkable from most of the sites on this list, anchored by Cherry Street and Mulberry Street. H&H Restaurant, a Macon soul-food institution with its own Allman Brothers history, serves breakfast and lunch a short walk from downtown. Dovetail, on Cherry Street, is a locally owned Southern restaurant good for a sit-down dinner after a day of sightseeing. For a bigger meal plan, see our roundup of the best BBQ in Georgia.

How far is Macon, and what does parking cost?

Macon is about 85 miles from downtown Atlanta, roughly 1 hour 25 minutes in normal traffic via I-75 South. The drive is a straight highway shot with no significant backroad detours needed.

• Parking downtown: Macon has five downtown parking garages charging $1 per hour with a $6 daily maximum, managed by Park Macon. On-street metered spots are best for stays under three hours; the city discourages longer stays at meters in favor of the garages.
• Family angle: Ocmulgee Mounds, Tubman Museum, and Amerson River Park are all stroller-manageable; the Big House and Hay House are better for kids old enough to walk a guided tour without a stroller.
• Dog angle: Rose Hill Cemetery, Amerson River Park, and the outdoor grounds at Ocmulgee Mounds are the three dog-friendly stops on this list; the house museums (Hay House, the Big House) and indoor museums (Tubman) are service-animals-only.
• Best single-day combo: Ocmulgee Mounds in the morning, lunch downtown, then Hay House or the Big House and Rose Hill Cemetery in the afternoon.

Is Hay House or the Big House the better single paid stop?

It depends on why you came. Hay House is the cheaper ticket at $11 adult and the better look at antebellum Macon, though its guided tour is multi-floor with stairs.

About Hank Whitlock

Hank Whitlock is the pen name of the It's Georgia editor. Every guide is built around the questions a busy family actually asks before a trip: how long is the drive, what does parking cost, can the stroller make it, are dogs allowed. Details are checked against official park, city, and venue sources, and each guide shows the date it was last updated.
