Junior Journalist: Family fun at the Rock Ranch

There are dozens of activities for kids and families at The Rock Ranch.
There are dozens of activities for kids and families at The Rock Ranch.

School's out and that means you're probably already looking for ways to keep your kids entertained.

But hours of 'are we there yet' can make any parent cringe.

So we're sending our new team of Junior Journalists on a mission: show us cool places to visit in and around central Georgia.

Just a short drive away, there are plenty of adventures waiting in The Rock, Ga.

The Rock Ranch has over 35 activities and attractions such as climbing the rock wall, riding the hill slides, and jumping on the pillow bounce.

"There is a full day of fun to be had, so if you're planning to come visit us, come early because you're going to stay all day and you're going to leave really tired," says Jennifer Symmes, director of communications.

The Rock Ranch was created by Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-Fil-A.

"It has really transformed over the years into, not only a cattle ranch, but an agritourism destination where families can come spend time together and make special memories," says Symmes.

Every part of the family can enjoy Tiny Town, a miniature western village.

Tiny Town has a church and a general store, even its own courthouse and jail.

After you're done playing, grab a bite to eat from the farmers' market.

Pat Kimbell and Carol Warden were picking out some fresh local produce.

"Did you see the blackberries that he has over there?" asks Kimbell.

"The blackberries are gigantic," adds Warden.

"They're this big, they look really plump," Kimbell gestures with her hands, showing about the size of a golf ball.

And don't forget to ride the zip lines.

The Rock Ranch is open on Saturdays in June from 10 to 4.

Their big Celebrate America event is June 27th.
