While Atlanta is a big city, it only has one water park, and that is Six Flags White Water. But with a little gas, and an appetite for adventure your family could have a great time at one of the other water parks around the state. Most of these theme parks will cost you much less because they are outside of the city. But they are definitely worth the drive.
