Among the many other things you’ll discover during your stay at our Valdosta accommodations is that the town was the one-time home of the famous Doc Holliday. A dentist who headed west after he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, Holliday ended up a legendary gambler and gunfighter. To find out more about this iconic Western character, visit The Valdosta Museum, where you’ll also learn more about the historical events of the town itself.

Travelers with kids in tow may also want to visit the Wild Adventures Theme Park near our Valdosta hotels. This 200-acre, family-friendly park and zoo features not only interactive animal exhibits and rides such as “Boomerang,” “Firecracker,” and “Blackfoot Falls,” but also several spots for casual dining and shopping. The Grand Bay Wildlife Management Area lets you and the whole family explore the great outdoors during your trip to Valdosta. Consisting over nearly 8,700 acres, the area is perfect for camping or hiking.

Now that the family’s worked up an appetite, head over to the Wooden Nickel Pub before you head back to your Valdosta hotel rooms. This lively but kid-friendly spot offers a menu with food items as varied as gumbo, Reuben sandwiches and pizza, plus wine and craft beers.
