Itinerary:

Join me for an easy urban hike ITP. It's forecasted to be dry during our outing. *fingers crossed*

After the hike, we can visit the Fernbank Science Center. Please note: our hike begins and ends here (and not to be confused with Fernbank Museum). Parking is free. We'll meet near the entrance of the center.

After intros, we'll walk towards Poncey. If it's not too muddy, we'll hike thru Deepdene Park, otherwise, more sidewalking.

We'll make our to Fraser Center. There's a cute garden and massive house. The site is often used as a wedding venue. Check it out - https://www.catorwoolfordgardens.org/

As I said, when our hike is officially over, we have the option to spend some time in the Fernbank Science Center. The Apollo 6 is a featured exhibit here. Admission is free. If you would like to spend even more time here and visit the planetarium - there's a small admission fee.
