Top Attractions to Visit in LaGrange

If LaGrange isn’t on your radar for a weekend trip or weeklong getaway, it should be. This welcoming Georgia city blends deep-rooted history with lively culture. One moment you’re examining centuries-old artifacts, the next you’re lounging on the lawn for an evening of live music. No matter where you go, there’s always something new to discover.

Great Wolf Lodge

At Great Wolf Lodge, fun fills every corner. Water splashes echo through the air as kids race toward slides and parents ease into vacation mode. For a burst of adrenaline, the Wolf Tail drops you straight into a slippery tunnel and ends with a splash. If a slower pace is more your style, Crooked Creek offers a gentle glide — just enough movement to keep you relaxed without drifting off entirely. When it’s time to dry off, the adventure keeps going. Wands wave as kids chase clues through the lodge on a MagiQuest, neon lights flash from the arcade, and bowling pins clatter nearby. Hungry? Refuel with creamy Alfredo pasta at Barnwood or grab jerky and fresh fruit from Freshwoods Market.

Hills & Dales Estate

Before you even step into the property and gardens, Hills & Dales Estate gives you a glimpse of what’s to come with a short orientation film featuring artistic shots and time-lapse photography of the Italian-style villa. During the tour, discover hundreds of plant species, some dating back to the 1840s. Camellias bloom in soft pinks and whites, and the Dwarf English Boxwood shrubs, arranged in a unique pattern, add a photo-worthy stop. Inside the visitor center, browse museum exhibits and stop by the gift shop, where estate-grown plants make it easy to start your own garden back home. Visit during the holidays and you’ll find The Callaway Home glowing with lights, filled with the scent of warm cookies and the sound of classic festive tunes.

Wild Leap

Wild Leap isn’t just a brewery — it’s a tasting room, live music venue, and the kind of place where something fun is always on tap. Sip on craft creations like fruity pale ales or apple-flavored Moscow mules while trying to guess the winning answer during trivia night or marking off your card in a round of bingo. Classic bar favorites like pressed-to-perfection smash burgers and golden fries are staples on the menu, with food trucks often rolling in on-site during events to serve up even more delicious fare. The space is pet-friendly, inside and out, so four-legged companions are more than welcome.

Nutwood Winery

Set between rows of sun-warmed vineyards and beneath 200-year-old pecan trees, Nutwood Winery is known for its friendly service and relaxed setting. Grab a seat on the porch for live music and a glass of fruity Felicity Raspberry, or try the black cherry-infused pinot noir — a balanced blend of sweet and dry. The on-site cafe serves everything from scratch, with some recipes pulled straight from the family cookbook. Pair your wine with a cheese and charcuterie board filled with juicy fruit and salty crackers, or go for more filling options like smoky pork-tenderloin sliders. Whether you’re wine tasting or settling in for the evening, you’ll find it’s a place where good drinks and great food come together.

Sweetland Amphitheatre

An outdoor concert with an intimate feel? That’s exactly what you’ll find at Sweetland Amphitheatre. Built into a hillside and lined with lush grass, this 2,500-seat venue has hosted names like Flo Rida, Trace Adkins, Nelly, and even the legendary Willie Nelson. General admission guests can unfold a chair or stretch out on a blanket across the lawn, while others settle into seats up front. No matter where you sit, it feels close to the stage. Long before the venue echoed with live music, the site was home to the city park and public pool — a place for gathering then, and still today, just with a new soundtrack.

Biblical History Center

Travel back in time at the Biblical History Center, where hands-on experiences make ancient life feel real. Try baking bread over an open fire, then explore full-scale reconstructions of ruins showing architectural styles from 1500 B.C.E. to 500 C.E. This family-friendly center invites visitors to get up close with more than 250 artifacts, from cracked Iron Age pottery to chilling bone boxes from the Herodian Period. Kids can dig into the archaeological pits, modeled after real excavations, where they uncover buried artifacts and even dinosaur fossils. Whether you’re brushing away sand in the dig pits or walking through ancient ruins, every part of the visit reveals a piece of the past.
