The park is marketed towards families so it has an array of offerings that mom and the whole family will appreciate.
There are all types of activities available for both adults and kids including arcades, resorts, restaurants, and spas. Mom can enjoy a spa treatment while the kids attend one of the kid-friendly activities. Or, she can join the fun at the water slide.

Disney Parks

Disney is a family favorite for many, so a Mother’s Day trip to the park is an exciting idea. There are a total of 12 Disney parks around the world. This means that a family trip to Disney for a Mother’s Day getaway can either be a short road trip or an elaborate international journey. For Disney adults, this celebratory trip may be a chance to visit a park that mom has not yet been to. Due to the popularity of Disney, families may even be able to surprise Mom in some way with her representations of her favorite Disney character or classic movie.
Disney parks typically have highly rated restaurants, park rides, family experiences, and even souvenirs. For mom on Mother’s Day, there is plenty to treat her to. Some of the top things to gift are gift baskets, spa treatments, trinkets representing favorite characters, and special reservations at park restaurants. The park has a sweet tradition of gifting carnations to moms visiting the park the day of Mother’s Day too so it will be a special day for her regardless of what families choose to do.

For history buffs who appreciate a more slow-paced trip, there are many places to go in Atlanta to enjoy with their family. Historic sites like the Atlanta Historic Center and the Civil Rights Museum are great locations to visit during Mother’s Day. This is especially true if mom is a stickler for being knowledgeable about Black history. There are even women’s history archives and many landmarks connected to women’s history throughout the city if Mom wants to appreciate other matriarchs throughout history. One popular site is the Madame CJ Walker Boutique Museum.
Other things to do in Atlanta include visiting the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, or Atlanta Botanical Garden. The Georgia Aquarium is one of the world’s largest aquariums. It has many interactive galleries and activities for families. The World of Coca-Cola is a museum in Atlanta that showcases the history of the Coca-Cola company. Families can taste an array of beverage flavors while they visit. The Atlanta Botanical Garden has promotions that offer discounts for Mother’s Day so families can observe some of the most vibrant flowers of the season. There is also a specially curated Mother’s Day brunch the weekend of the holiday and seats typically sell out in advance.
Yellowstone National Park

Outdoor lovers will appreciate Yellowstone National Park. The park is mostly located in Wyoming but is also technically located in Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone can be the next big family adventure for a Mother’s Day getaway. May is also a popular time to visit the park due to animal families since little ones are seeing the world for the first time and exploring the parklands. Travelers are likely to see baby bear cubs, elk, lambs, and bison (from afar) during their visit to the park. It is also not peak season yet, so families can save on accommodations. The park also offers kid-friendly tours which means the whole family can enjoy the sights and scenes they see.
