1. Topgolf Atlanta: Midtown

Address: 1600 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
Okay, so hear us out, we know its golf, but trust us Topgolf is super cool. It’s like a driving range met an arcade and had a baby with a restaurant. You rent a bay, like a private lane at a bowling alley, grab a club, and whack microchipped balls at light-up targets. It’s super fun for all skill levels, trust us, even the kids who think golf is boring will be completely into it.
Why families love it:

• Kid-friendly clubs available
• Massive screens, comfy seating, and fans (because of the Georgia heat)
• Full-service restaurant with burgers, nachos, and surprisingly great desserts. Check out the food menu HERE.
• Non-golf games and chill spots for snack breaks

 

Topgolf Atlanta Prices

• Weekdays (Monday to Thursday):  Equals HALF OFF! Yep, you heard that right. If you swing by anytime Monday through Thursday, you get 50% off the bay rental price. That means your wallet takes half the hit, and the kids still get the full dose of fun. Please note these prices are per hour.

• Weekends (Friday–Sunday): Equals full price fun: Now, once Friday afternoon rolls in, the discount wave says “see you!” and things go back to regular pricing. Here’s the gist:

  • Morning (before noon): About $40/hour per bay

  • Midday (12 PM to 5 PM): Around $52/hour

  • Evening (5 PM to close): Roughly $64/hour

  You’re paying for prime time fun, baby. But hey, if you’ve got a birthday crew, out-of-town family, or just want to treat yourselves, it’s still 100% worth it.
