Honestly this place was a lot of fun and brought out the inner kid in me! The secret to avoid paying the entrance fee to get to the top is to make a dinner reservation at the restaurant or a reservation at the secret bar up top called 12 cocktail bar which is what we did. You then have access to all of the included games and activities including ski ball and roller skating! Great views and a good time all around.

A great spot to spend fun times with family and friends. The skyline park offers variety of carnival games that is bound to bring the child within you come to life. The mini golf course is also very fun, and let's not forget the slide. We spent a lovely afternoon playing games, sipping on soda, and eating chicken tenders. It was a great time and I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area. Especially if you have kids.

Oh the views and good times to be had here. So much to do and see at ponce city market. Why not put a small amusement park on top. Look for the skyline signs. Purchase tickets and enter the designated elevator. Depending on the band you purchase determines your experience. Theirs put put golf and a few carnival games and a ride where you can compete with others. You can get snacks, meals and drinks. Really fun. Honestly I would go back for the view.

Where do I start from. This place was my first time visiting and it was very cool and fun. Inside of the market is a variety of food vendors of all kind. On the roof top of the market is where the fun takes place. $15 and $15 dollar band will give you free access to all the games and sky view ride. There's a restaurant on the rooftop too and a concession stand in which the pretzel and churros was delicious, alcohol beverages purchases on the rooftop are only to be consumed on the rooftop. The coolest part was you have to catch a ride on the elevator to get to the top. This is an old historic building so just imagine the elevator. However you won't be disappointed decision and I can't wait to visit again but after the sun goes down.

Mini golf

Fun cute amusement park on top of Ponce Market. It doesn't open until 5ish. We did the full band for $30 each and got to play mini golf and all the games and rides included. We started with mini golf. It's fun if you go grab some drinks and play winner gets a free drink. We also played the carnival games... super hard as you can win prizes but they make it hard to win a prize. It's mostly small stuff animals. But still fun to play. Great views, good vibes and fun times!

TL/DR: Cool for the views, but the wait to get up to the roof is ridiculous. Go for drinks. Everything else is a rip-off. I went on a Wednesday when all of Atlanta is on spring break, so it was packed. My friend and I went because it was free admission for the first 50 people that said some phrase, like it's some speakeasy, which it most definitely is not. The line to get to the elevator was so long. The whole thing was just a logistical nightmare. They stopped letting people up because they were at capacity (or that's what they told us). We got there at 5:05 and didn't get to the roof until after 5:45 and we were at the front of the line! I definitely wouldn't have waited if we were way farther back in line. Had it not been for the free admission, I'm not sure I would've gone. From what I understand, you normally pay for admission, but then you have to pay for the games and golf on top of that if you want to do those activities. I got a Ginger Berry Margarita ($12) and my friend got a cider ($8). Cocktail prices are pretty standard, but $8 for a cider is a bit much. Overall, it was fun. Because we weren't playing the games, it was very easy to socially distance. Note that the mini golf was insane. If you're trying to mini golf, I would go literally anywhere else. We found a table to sit at on the side with not as great of a view of the skyline, but it didn't bother us! It's still a rooftop with a view! It was really nice to hang out and have a drink with a view. I would never go for the games though.

We had a great time here during a recent trip to Atlanta. We enjoyed learning about the building from the crew operating the elevator. I can't remember the name of the guy operating the elevator but he was very energetic and made the short ride up entertaining. Once we reached the rooftop area we ordered drinks at the bar which we enjoyed. We also noticed a place to order food but with all the food options offered downstairs at the Market we skipped ordering food. Aside from food and drinks, they had a few carnival style games and activities. The downside in my opinion was having to pay an additional amount to play them. We had already purchased the $15 wrist bands but those were only to go upstairs to Skyline. Once there you had to pay an additional $15 to play any of the games or do the activities which in our opinion was not worth it. We felt the activities were better suited for a younger crowd and the options were limited. It would have been a better experience to have the games included in the wrist band fee or not having a wrist band fee and only being required to pay to play. Overall, it was a nice experience if you want to have a drink and take in rooftop views after exploring the Ponce Market.

Manager Oversold our Reservations, cancelled last minute.
Gabriel B.

We booked a private event for Skate the Sky, we had family and friends come to town for the event. Tempest "the manager" contacted us two days before our reserved time to inform us that she is canceling our paid reservation due to them "Overbooking". They would allow access but we could use our reserved space. I guess we are expected watch other families enjoy or reserved experience.

We had a great time at this small yet fun amusement park on top of Ponce Market. My favorite was the mini golf course. The carnival games were challenging but fun too. Bonus: because we came here at night time, we also got to see a the night view.

I'm not saying this place is bad because it's 100% not but for the money, it is not worth it. It cost $15 just go up on the roof which is fine because I was hoping that price included something... it does not. The rides, the drinks and games are all extra. The day I was there the food was closed as well as the slide so that already got rid of 2 things we couldn't do. The cocktails are about $12 per drink. I got the Frozen Lemonade which is STRONG, tasty and packs a punch and yes, the views were great. I just wish it was cheaper or that the $15 included something other than a ride to the roof... even if it was just 1 game.

My favorite part about PCM is the Skyline Park! I don't come here often, but always have a good time when I do. You pay $10 to ride the elevator to the roof, where you get an amazing view of Atlanta. Probably one of the best views in Atlanta, if not the best. You can't take a bad picture at Skyline Park. Yes, it's a bit pricey. You have to pay for entry in addition to games and food. For unli games, I believe it's $15 per person. Not bad. The park also offers a full bar, beer garden and couple of options for food. The games are fun for both children and adults. I've played/tried just about every single one of them. They have different events throughout the year. Worth checking out especially when you have out-of-town guests!

Erica S.

Cute rooftop vibe with bars, food, and activities. After 5 is 21+ so we got there just in time. Admission is $15, to play the games and ride the rides is $15 so $30 each if you want to enter and play. I enjoyed myself, but I wish there were more activities. Make sure to wear your SPF! That sun hitsss.

An experience not to miss in Atlanta! My partner and I stopped by Skyline Park on a Thursday evening after having dinner at 9 Mile Station. While you get free access to the park after dining at 9 Mile, you still need to pay $15 for a wristband to play unlimited games. We opted out from the games and shared a freeze (I believe it was either $12 or $15), and it was the passion fruit flavor! Very yummy on a hot evening in Atlanta, and our server at 9 Mile said it's probably the booziest drink on their menu (which still wasn't that boozy, but still worth getting). The vibes are ~immaculate~. I believe the DJ got there around 7 or 8 PM, and it was just a fun time in general (even without playing games). It's a pretty diverse clientele too, with people dressed casual/fun to people who looked like they came after work to date nights and friend groups and everything in between. Truly showcasing the best of ATL.

Ask the Community - Skyline Park

Do you have to pay for the elevator to get to sky park or are there stairs?

There's a kiosk on the East side of Ponce City Market where you can buy tickets to get access to the elevator. No stair access!

I left grateful for the green space but not really feeling much else. For the kids, you have to realize: the Olympics put Atlanta on the map. Prior to the games, it was a mid-to-largish Southern city without much distinction.* After the games, it turned into the crowded af bastion of Southern pop culture. Atlanta's history is divided in pre- and post- games. That's why I thought that a trip here would be akin to Central, Golden Gate or Lincoln. Nope. It had some nice intentional design. Pavers. Statues. Fun water features. The Ferris wheel. The rings (the water fountain wasn't working during my visit). But... I don't know. Like I inferred above, it fell flat. Glad I saw it but I expected more. It's smaller than you imagine. Oh, and all the bathrooms were closed/locked on a Wednesday afternoon in mid-spring. I don't know what that's about. *Taking nothing away from Dr. King.

The trails wind alongside beautiful rushing rapids, through shaded forests, and lead to the fascinating ruins of the historic New Manchester Mill, which dates back to the Civil War era. citeturn0search0turn0search2 The Red Trail is especially popular and provides stunning creek views with a relatively easy-to-moderate hike, while longer trails offer more of a challenge for experienced hikers. The sound of the water, rocky landscapes, and peaceful surroundings make it easy to forget you're only minutes from Atlanta. excellent destination for a day of hiking, picnicking, and making memories with friends. Con: Parking fees are $10 (gone are the $5 day) Also, the way you pay is...via link and it can be tricky & time consuming. You can go park anywhere in the park once you pay...you don't have to pay 2nd time.

Initially we parked in the wrong lot but that worked in our favor (where the bait and tackle shop is). There were lots of families out having picnics and fishing. We did a 1-mile loop in the area and were able to see the yurts. NOTED . Beautiful sites to take in before we ventured to the main lots with the visitor's center. Not only are the trails well marked, but there is ample parking across multiple lots. The attendant at the gate entrance was so kind, welcoming and JOYful! We ventured out on the red trail and it was gorgeous. To my surprise, the trail was full today. It seems that Sweetwater is a populated date spot!!! We saw folks of all ages out with picnic baskets, journals, coloring books, bathing suits ... it was AMAZING! We hiked to the end of the red trail and back, venturing off trail to be clear to the River only once. By far, this was one of my favorite hikes and definitely a place I'll revisit to explore some of the other trails.

Glenwood Park is a mixed-use development which opened in 2005 in East Atlanta. If traveling from…read moredowntown on I-20 eastbound, Glenwood Park is just off exit 59B (Memorial Drive, Glenwood Avenue). If traveling westboard towards downtown, take exit 60 (US 23, Moreland Avenue). This low key neighborhood, sandwiched between Grant Park and East Atlanta Village, is sort of "hidden." I think if you asked the average metro Atlantan if they've heard of Glenwood Park, they'd probably say no. Glenwood Park opened the same year as Midtown's Atlantic Station. Like Atlantic Station, Glenwood Park is all about urban and sustainable living. Unlike Atlantic Station, Glenwood Park isn't big. It's relatively small at just under 30 acres in total size. It's a lot quieter and isn't as commercialized. The property feels more residential than anything with quiet streets and wide sidewalks with nicely manicured lawns. After about a decade of existence, the development still looks great. There's a park/greenspace with a picturesque pond and a beautiful fountain. The community collects almost two-million gallons of its own well water per year in order to irrigate the park and street trees. There's a community garden where residents can reserve plots filled with high quality, organic soil. There's a dog park, playground, and neighborhood pool. One courtyard features a little stone fountain and full-sized bocce ball court. The layout was designed with pedestrians in mind, though there's plenty of free street parking and parking lots located on the development. It's clean and feels safe. The Atlanta BeltLine runs through the neighborhood in a north-south line. Food-lovers probably know Glenwood Park because of its restaurants, Gunshow, The Shed at Glenwood, and Vickery's Bar & Grill. Local celebrity chef Kevin Gillespie opened Gunshow in 2013 with fellow chefs Andreas Muller and Joey Ward. It may very well be *the* best restaurant in Atlanta. It's certainly one of the most fun and unique with it's American-style dim sum. You can read my review of Gunshow here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/gunshow-atlanta-2?hrid=_Zvxkqv86FBPQtUBysU21Q. The Shed at Glenwood is a modern farm-to-table restaurant with seasonal fare. Vickery's, known for its cocktails and burgers, opened its second Atlanta location in Glenwood Park. Drip coffee shop also has a location here.

I'm not sure how to review a neighborhood but it shouldn't be too hard. This place is great -…read morebungalow style houses, flats, condos, townhomes and great neighbors. There are a handful of retail businesses on the south end of the neighborhood that we frequent and the usual smattering of intown amenities - proximity to downtown, Virginia Highland, Starlight Six Drive-In. You get the point. Since moving here in 2009 we have made so many good friends and really love where we live. There's a community garden, a pool/gym and a dedicated dog park free to residents (as of this writing). A brownfield redevelopment and product of Green Street properties, GWP is home to the 2005 Southern Living Idea House. Many of the homes are distinct in design, presentation and vary in style but all still flow together. Most lots are very small but we managed to eke out a wonderful front flower garden and transform the triangle shaped garden in the back into a treed and flowered sanctuary. We tried our hand at gardening in the community garden but the summer Atlanta sun and invasive weeds had us handily beat by mid July. In October each year, the Hotoberfest beer festival is held in and around the main park (now Brewer Park) drawing a few thousand people to the neighborhood. Less exciting but nearly as big a draw (maybe stretching here) is the annual garage sale. A handful of movies have been filmed here including the Blind Side and Hall Pass as is part of the Real Housewives of Atlanta (one of them lives here as of this writing). Like other neighborhoods that started mid real estate boom but not finished before the bang, there are empty lots, foreclosures and short sales. The last builder to get going has long ago gone out of business and a few independent developers have put up new homes but it remains to be seen if the original vision of Green Street and the first residents will be fulfilled. However, this remains a one-of-a-kind neighborhood south of I-20 and a great alternative to the stunning but prohibitively expensive homes in Morningside, Virginia Highland and the handful of other established intown neighborhoods. Being so close to everything available in Atlanta has spoiled us for going to festivals (Inman Park, Dogwood, Summerfest, Shade), the drive in and so much good food + drink in walking distance (you hear me $2 PBR at ten places I can walk to). The EAV and Grant Park are both short walks and great neighborhoods in and of themselves. The Zoo and Turner field are less than 3 miles away as are dozens of the best restaurants in Atlanta. The beltline trailhead is just across I-20 so you can walk off all the beer and carbs. Definitely kid friendly, we've seen at least six newborns arrive since we moved here. The little ones have a playground, a music class and no shortage of friends to grow up with. We will be adding our own in February 2012 so we're planning on being in Glenwood Park for the foreseeable future.
