Family fun in Albany
THIS SOUTHWEST GEORGIA COMMUNITY, located about
an hour and a half from downtown Macon, has something for
everyone, including the Flint RiverQuarium at 117 Pine Ave.
The beloved Albany attraction features freshwater, saltwater
and river eco-systems as well as traveling exhibits.
RiverFront Park is across the street and includes lovely
views of the Flint River as well as an impressive playground.
Nature lovers will want to visit Chehaw Park (105 Chehaw
Park Road), an 80-year-old, 586-acre park and conservation
area featuring a zoo, large playground, splash pad, BMX bike
track, camping facilities and more.
Former Maconite Cristin Kirbo moved to Albany in 2010
where she lives with her husband, John, and their daughters,
4-year-old Helen and 1-year-old Jane. She said her family
enjoys Albany's outdoor attractions.
"We have memberships to both Chehaw Park and the
RiverQuarium," she said. "They are our favorite places to
go with the girls and to take out-of-town guests. Both really
highlight the beautiful outdoors we are fortunate enough
to have in Albany, including the Flint River, Spanish moss
hanging from the gorgeous live oaks and the unique wildlife
found in southwest Georgia."
After a full day of adventures, Kirbo said Harvest Moon's
pizza, at 2347 Dawson Road, is a family favorite.
