Then head to Andretti Indoor Karting & Games in Marietta, GA (not far from Atlanta!) for your anniversary celebration.

A thoughtful picnic for you and your boo is one of the most delicious and romantic anniversary ideas in Atlanta (or anywhere, frankly).

It offers a large sun shelf and a shallow area that are ideal for playing games, relaxing, and more.
