Exploring Downtown Kennesaw

There’s just something about grabbing a warm cup of coffee to liven up a chilly Saturday morning.

Make Local Your First Choice

If you’re looking for a unique experience and a delicious treat, check out Frozen Cow Creamery. It’s surprisingly great for cold days! One would think an ice cream shop is limited to its summer attractions, but not this one. They offer a delicious ice cream Affagoto – an espresso drink made with any ice cream of your choice instead of regular cream. Let your taste buds get creative with one of their many options, like apple pie ice cream with apple crumb coffee and whipped cream. Check out other local eateries, like Trackside Grill, a locally owned and operated restaurant that is sure to please the palate. Kennesaw is full of unique and locally cherished restaurants that will give you a strong community feel.

Get Moving In the Coolest Park Around

Swift-Cantrell Park is arguably one of the coolest parks in Cobb County, and right by Downtown Kennesaw – making it the next ideal spot for your Saturday morning. This park is not only huge, it has a wide variety of attractions, like two large playgrounds, a splash pad, one mile perimeter trail, fitness station, skate park, and even Wi-Fi! Bring your kids, so they can enjoy the playground while you relax, exercise, or enjoy the free time with a book. Or, invite a friend and hit the trails for a scenic walk.

Discover Kennesaw Mountain

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is an incredible historic landmark to live nearby. From Gunnerson Pointe in Cobb County, you can easily go check out the mountain, where you can enjoy winter activities like hikes to the top to see not only an amazing view, but real cannons along the way. There are also tons of trails going up and around the mountain, so you have plenty of options for colder days when you need a milder stroll. Pack a lunch and take the family to hike the mountain, or picnic on the battlefield. You’ll find yourself meeting friends here for hikes, walking your dog, and spending valuable family time bonding and enjoying nature. Living close to the mountain is sure to inspire an active outdoor lifestyle!

Marietta Square Is Anything But ‘Square’

We can’t get enough of Marietta Square! Even when there isn’t a fun event happening there, which there often is, there is tons to do and explore. And, there are so many local shopping and dining options to choose from!

You HAVE to check out the Marietta Square Market! This spot is a food hall similar to the famous Krog Street Market Historic Food Hall located near Midtown Atlanta.
