Callaway Gardens at Pine Mountain, Ga., is the perfect place for
families to have fun and enjoy being together.
Robin Lake Beach offers hours of family fun paddle boating; riding the
Chickadee Choo Choo miniature train; playing shuffleboard, miniature golf
and table tennis; and playing on the Beach’s playground.
There’s even a circus. June 1 through August 16, the Florida State
University “Flying High” Circus performs daily, except Wednesdays, in the Circus Tent at Robin Lake Beach. Their thrilling acrobatics and comical juggling routines have entertained Callaway’s Summer guests for 42 years.
No Fourth of July is complete if you’re not at the Surf and Sand
Spectacular, which features beach games, special circus performances, live musical entertainment by the Swingin’ Medallions and a fabulous fireworks finale after dusk.
Robin Lake Beach and its attractions are open from 9:00 a.m. EST to 6:00
p.m. daily through August 17 and then weekends only through Labor Day.
Admission to Callaway is $12/adult and $6/child (6-12). Surf and Sand
Spectacular admission is $15/adult and $7.50/child. Tax is additional.

To celebrate Callaway’s 50th anniversary, guests entering the Gardens on a “Marvelous Monday” with a child age five and under will receive free admission (up to five paying guests) through November 18, 2002.
Guests can learn about the history and uniqueness of The Gardens at Callaway as well as experience special exhibits such as a highly acclaimed traveling raptor exhibit, “Hunters of the Sky,” at the Virginia Hand Callaway
