From art crafts and shopping center to spas and hiking, Helen has something for everyone.

Some of these activities may require an appointment ahead of your visit, but many of them take walk-ins!

****Please be aware that North Georgia is located on a mountain range. You will be driving on multiple mountains that have very deep curves. I highly suggest that car-sick folks sit in the front with a window cracked and take a motion sickness medication before the trip.

"Abstract Studio is an interactive art experience. Our studio allows people to explore their inner artist and the joys of freely painting. Each guest is provided with a canvas, paint, protective gear, tools and a take home box."

"Located at the south end of Helen on Main Street, you will see our beautiful 18 hole Helen Alpine Mini Golf Course. Our flower gardens are breathtaking. We’re kid friendly, family friendly, and even pet friendly! Plan to spend the day … or the week, in beautiful Alpine Helen."

Steve's Old Time Photo is a fun experience where you can dress up as an old westerner. I highly recommend everyone try this with your friends and family. It is a perfect keepsake. **Highly Recommend**

"Kaya’s Winery and Tasting Room are built atop a ridge that is 1600 feet above elevation and offers the most exquisite panoramic mountain view in North Georgia. The Tasting Room features twelve-foot windows, Edison light bulbs, and reclaimed wood, making the combination of Kaya and the Appalachian Mountains a retreat. Enjoy the view on our two-thousand square-foot covered deck with live music in the warmer seasons, and more importantly, some wine."
