North, south, east or west there is always a great place to visit outside of Atlanta.
Located just 50 miles south of Atlanta, Senoia is a must see for Walking Dead fans!
When you get there the first stop should always be the Walking Dead Store and Museum and then you can follow it up with a guided tour of filming locations. Since shooting is gearing up again you never know what photo ops will arise! Finish the morning off with lunch at the Walking Dead Cafe or one of the other local eating places like the Tomato House or Katie Lou’s Cafe.
Everyone in the family not a Walking Dead fan? Don’t worry there is plenty to see and do for everyone!
