Get Out: A Look at What to Do This Weekend

It's spring break for most of the kiddos out there, so if you're staying in town, here are some items on the going-out list that need to be done.

The end of the school day Friday begins spring break for many, and if you completely forgot or just don't have anything planned, here are a few activities to make sure the break at least starts off right.

And even if you don't have kids, there are some events for the older crowd, too.

"Annie, Get Your Gun"

When/Where: March 31, 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.; April 1, 10 a.m.; April 2, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; , 4805 Stone Mountain Highway, Lilburn.

Find out what's happening in Lilburn-Mountain Parkwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Why Go: Presented by the Artios Academies of Gwinnett, "Annie, Get Your Gun" is based on the famous Irving Berlin show on the Broadway stage. Even though it sticks to the original Wild West wrangle between Annie Oakley and Frank Butler, the Gwinnett version features a second romance to spice things up.

Pricing: Tickets range from $5 to $10, plus a convience charge of around $1. Order tickets at the door or online here.

Spring FUN Break

When/Where: April 1-3, 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Stone Mountain Park, 1000 Robert E. Lee Drive, Stone Mountain.

Why Go: There are just too many things to do at Stone Mountain Park for Spring Break; it's practically impossible to fit it in on just one day. Craft demonstrations for candy and glass blowing; the laser show; The Great Barn with super slides, climbing structures and 65 games; and the Camp Highland Outpost with ziplines and low ropes are just a few of the items lined up. Three new features added to this year's entertainment list are the Wildlife Wonders Animal Babies, where people can meet baby kangaroos, fawns and more; the Little Quarry Construction Zone, which will have a giant sandbox and tools to built sandcastles; and the stage show "Wake the Bear: An Improvised Adventure Show."
