Ever been inside a 200-foot alligator? 🐊

More than just a roadside attraction, Swampy is a gator-shaped building home to one of Florida's most unique animal parks.

🐊You'll get to experience swamp cruises, live gator feedings, hands-on wildlife encounters, boardwalk trails through REAL Florida wilderness and a Native American village.

It's the kind of Florida experience you just can't find at theme parks and I'm sharing all about it! (all the details linked in the comments 👇)

Just mapped out 9 hidden gems in North Georgia that are seriously underrated 🗺️

Most people stick to the usual spots (Helen, Amicalola, the standard waterfall circuit), but there's this whole other side of North Georgia that stays blissfully quiet.

🔖I'm talking about a folk art garden built entirely by volunteers, a 186-foot waterfall that's taller than Niagara (yes, really!), Civil War railroad tunnels you can walk through, and even a wooden working water wheel that looks like something out of a storybook.

The best part? Most of these are either free or super affordable, and you won't be fighting crowds for photos. (Full guide with addresses & hours linked in the comments!)

The Rock Garden in Calhoun, Georgia is one of those places that you have to visit at least once.

Volunteers spent an entire year hand-sculpting over 50 miniature structures from rocks, pebbles, shells, and glass, including a Notre Dame cathedral replica complete with stained-glass windows. All of them are incredible pieces of art!

You'll also find seating areas under the trees that makes for a perfect afternoon ☺️

Before you go, get all the details on my blog post! (linked in the comments)
