The Hawks migrated to Atlanta from St. Louis for the 1968–69 season and have since become a venerated local institution. Though the Atlanta club has never claimed an NBA title, they've appeared in the playoffs 27 times since 1969, stamping their punchcard frequently enough to receive free hot dogs for the whole team during their next postseason appearance. Since 1999, the Hawks have perched in the rafters of Philips Arena, where more than 18,000 fans cheer them to victory in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division.

All year round, Nelson Field Laser Tag's battle zones join forces to send warriors into simulated combat. A field peppered with camo forts and towers at the Green Bay location scintillates during winter months as groups of up to 16 players use the scopes on heavy-duty, military-grade laser guns to pick off opponents and point out mustard stains on a teammate's pants. Meanwhile, unfolding across outdoor combat arenas, paintball and airsoft squads dip, dash, and dive behind natural and manmade barriers. Seven woodball fields camouflage matches amid troves of trees, and on an urban combat field, shooters utilize 19 buildings and one rogue hot-dog cart as shelter. Upon striking a truce, friends can reconvene at Nelson Field's onsite sports bars.

Though Nelson Field Laser Tag sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Everyone adores author Peter S. Beagle's poetic, yet occasionally anachronistic musings on what it is to want and to be wanted in this beloved deconstruction of European folklore.

Spreading its wonder-inducing wares across the spacious expanse of Turner Field’s Grey Lot, the Atlanta Fair conjures up a carnival atmosphere with more than 40 rides and attractions.

Balancing sunshine with a fountain-filled plaza and shade trees, the 21-acre urban oasis of Centennial Olympic Park beckons music fans of all ages into a daylong deluge of gold-medal indie-rock at the inaugural Party in the Park. Headlining head-trippers The Flaming Lips specialize in over-the-top live shows gushing with sensory overload. Throughout the psychedelic parade, singer Wayne Coyne leads his experimental band of “fearless freaks” through hits such as “Do You Realize??” and “She Don’t Use Jelly,” sometimes while rolling over heads in his plastic bubble or hypnotizing the audience into believing they see a grown man rolling around in a plastic bubble.
