With Spring Break just a day planner page away, it's high time we got out and had a little fun. For anyone tired of the trek to the beach, an adventurous ATL experience is perfect. Whether your go-to activity is climbing, driving, hiking or diving, Atlanta has all your Spring Break classics with an urban twist!

Not up for a long haul road trip? Head to Andretti Indoor Karting and Games for a 50 mph romp around the racetrack in the new SuperKarts. Take that adrenaline rush to new heights on the Cosmic Rock Wall and Extreme Ropes Course, or climb even higher to the Sky Bar for a fully-stocked pit stop.

Enjoy the scenery and greenery with a hike through Atlanta's two urban forests. Wander through  the treetops on the 40-foot high Canopy Walk at the Atlanta Botanical Garden for an aerial view of the city. Gotta get back to basics? Visit Stone Mountain for walking trails, campsites (and, of course, s'mores!)

If it just isn't vacation without lots of splashing around, check out Journey with Gentle Giants at the Georgia Aquarium - an opportunity to snorkel or dive (SCUBA certification required) with the world's largest captive mammal, the whale shark. For other aquatic adventures, visit Chattahoochee Outfitters and float a kayak, tube, canoe - even an eco-friendly sternwheel boat - down the Chattahoochee River.

Still craving some beach-y kitsch? Head to Trader Vic's - home of the original (and best) Mai Tai - and enjoy an evening of Polynesian cuisine, tiki torches and flirty, fruity drinks.

Since you're here, why not play and stay the Atlanta way? The Atlanta International Hostel offers comfy Midtown accommodations for less than the price of dinner. Be first in line for the best steals and deals with the ACVB's customizable hotel search.
