BruceDunning Says: This park is located at exit 13 off US 75. It is 150 acres, has 50 rides, a wave pool and slides, and a lounging area.
BruceDunning Says: This is an area that was/has been promoted as a place to come. It used to be the core of a cotton mill, that closed some years ago. Within the local, the company built worker homes, and some stand today, as well as old places of shopping. Now a lot is subsidized lower income...
BruceDunning Says: This is a great museum that is in an old Carnegie Library complex. They have 10,000 SF, and it is packed with the culture and history of the area, and its people. The tour is very good, and the variety from dress, military, Civil War, industry and fame are all here. They...
BruceDunning Says: The old structures downtown have been preserved very well, and recently the revamp to bring commerce and retail trade back to the center has filled up the buildings. Most are from early 1900's
Old County Courthouse and City Hall
BruceDunning Says: This County courthouse is from 1905, and recently was closed for new activity in more modern facility. It is on the historic register
BruceDunning Says: By far one of the best tours on our trip, and there were many good ones. This had an excellent docent take us around, and explain the history in finite detail of the family living here. It was built in 1898, and has 23 rooms and a huge semi-circle portico with ornate...
doug48 Says: located on the grounds of the lowndes county courthouse is the confederate civil war memorial. this statue with a standing solder is a very common memorial in the south.
doug48 Says: wild adventures is a family oriented amusement park located just south east of valdosta. wild adventures has a zoo, thrill rides, and a water park. they also host top name country and rock concerts. see their website for dates and times. a nice place to take the family.
doug48 Says: the wisenbacker-roberts house was built in 1840 and is the oldest house in valdosta. william wisenbacker was an early lowndes county settler. j.t. roberts bought the house around the turn of the 20th century and added it's victorian wings and tower. this is one of a number...

BruceDunning Says: The food was okay, but nothing to brag about. the portions were not big, and no side dish comes with the sandwiches. I had the CAveman wrap with ham, cheese and it was not very filled with meat. Micky had tuna sandwich, and basically small and scant of tuna. Prices are too...
Sisters Mussels & Pizza: Mussels & Pizza-go Figure
BruceDunning Says: I never herd of such a combination for a menu and the items are select. They have a lot of pizza varieties, but also calzone, meaballs, and Italian eats. The mussel concept came in vogue for these Italian sisters when they found they could order from Chile and freeze the...
BruceDunning Says: Is was very good in taste and the sauces compliments the meats. They have three sauce choices form KC sweet, Carolina vinegar, and hot. It is operated only 11-3 daily by a group of black sisters who like to cook meats. Prices were very fair at $6 a sandwich. It is counter...
306 North: Perfect Non-chain Local Gem!
louispodutz Says: This is a small, elegant bistro-type restaurant housed in a cute one-story building, with wooden rafters overhead and white table cloths with flowers on the table. It is one block from the main Courthouse, and easy to pass by. The food was excellent; my wife had the short...

Valdosta rates 50% higher than the average city for crime risks. This includes higher risk to violent crimes (rape, murder, assault) as well as non-violent crimes (thefts,arson). Those numbers should raise a few red flags in the minds of people visiting the area.
Valdosta, as of 2006, has 106 registered sex offenders. This is a considerable number given the size of the city's population.
If you are on vacation with children or a woman alone, please be watchful. Lock car doors, use the chain-latch in your motel room, be mindful of where you are and who is near you.
Being forewarned and using common precautions, should help you have a safe visit in this area.
to get more information on the sex offenders, see the website below.

Grand Banks Lake & Wildlife Aaea
BruceDunning Says: This is a large nature area to the north of town about 6 miles. It has a 13,000 acre reserve for bird sanctuary, and one area of 1350 acres for viewing from a tower. The one mile walking path is a nice and peaceful trek to the tower. It is located off Hwy 31 north of...
BruceDunning Says: This is by far one of the best preserved downtown from the late 1800's and early 1900's. WE spent the day there, and could have spent more time if possible. They have many antebellum homes, and a great County museum and farmstead complex. It could be a place to stay...
doug48 Says: located about 25 miles north of valdosta on CR 125 is nashville georgia. nashville is the county seat of berrien county. the area around nashville gives the visitor a look into the past of southern georgia. this area is agricultural with cotton, peanut, tabacco, hog, and...

Favorite thing: How could you visit Georgia and not experience a Hooters restaurant?
Well, Valdosta has one right off Interstate 75 and it does serve good food and has fast, friendly service.
Valdosta also has a university (Valdosta State), a Six Flags amusement theme park and plenty of agriculture and fresh fruit & vegatables.
Fondest memory: I enjoyed a stopover and speaking with locals about the area and its changes since I first saw it many years ago.
While the area has changed in appearance, the people have not--still friendly, still fun and still honest as the day is long.
