Food scene
Brick oven pizza, great salads, and great beer selection. Expect to enjoy each other's company for a bit. I suspect they can only make one pizza at a time cause it often takes a while. But it's well worth the wait!

The Sky Bar on the fourth floor has the best sunset view in Helen! You can get bar food or eat off the fancy menu. Service is always nice and there are top quality cocktails.

Quite possibly the best wings in the world. and you can watch the tubers go by. They don’t always allow dogs though so call first. The rules seem to change a lot

If you're just wanting a short walk to a beautiful waterfall rather than a true through the woods hike, this is your spot. The falls are spectacular, and the walk is steep but fairly short and paved. Great for little ones. There's also a nice gift shop with some great local hiking books.

Fun
If you've got kids, you MUST do the coaster. Go early when they first open and there won't be a line! Very fun.

Best zip line group hands down! Nice people, loads of fun, very safe, and you've absolutely gotta do the Big Zip! The swing is crazy fun too, and there's also a ropes course (not my thing but lots of people seem to like it). When you get done, ask them how to get to Sweetwater Coffee house for a quick cup of joe. (it wasn't an option to select for my recommendations but it's right around the corner)
