5 Must-Do Things in Marietta, Georgia

Marietta has that kind of charm that sneaks up on you. It’s got the small-town warmth, the tree-lined streets, and a rhythm that feels unhurried, but never boring. Whether you’re here for a weekend escape or lucky enough to call it home, this city has a knack for surprising you.

And if you’re the type who craves new experiences that help you reset; body, mind, all of it, you’ll want to start right here.

1. Experience The Future of Massage

Aescape is an AI-powered robotic massage that puts you fully in control of your experience.

Here’s how it works: you settle into your private suite, choose your session, and the system adapts in real time to your body—from pressure and focus areas to music and more. It’s completely solo, deeply calming, and removes the social layer of a traditional spa.

If you’ve been craving a modern way to relax and reset—especially after a long flight or packed day—Aescape is your place to unwind, your way.

2. Stroll Through Marietta Square

You can’t talk about Marietta without mentioning its heart; Marietta Square. It’s where the city hums: farmers markets, live music, boutique shops, and the kind of people-watching that reminds you life’s not meant to be rushed. Grab a latte from Cool Beans Coffee Roasters and just… wander. Every corner feels like a scene from a movie you’d actually want to live in.

3. Step Back in Time at the Gone With The Wind Museum

Even if you’re not a history buff, this little gem tucked near the square is worth an hour of your time. It’s less about glorifying the past and more about understanding how Marietta fits into the wider cultural story of the South. Artifacts, costumes, and handwritten letters make it surprisingly intimate.

4. Catch a Show at the Strand Theatre

There’s something special about old theatres that still feel alive, and The Strand is one of them. From classic films to live concerts and stage plays, the lineup always hits that sweet spot between nostalgic and fresh. Bonus points if you snag balcony seats; it’s where the acoustics shine.

5. Unwind at Red Hare Brewing Company

To wrap up your day, head to Red Hare Brewing. The vibe is chill, the crowd is friendly, and the craft beers are seriously good. Whether you’re into bold IPAs or smooth lagers, you’ll find your thing here. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, conversations stretch out, and you leave feeling like you actually did something with your day.

In Short

Marietta is full of easy pleasures and unexpected finds. But if you do one thing differently on your next visit, make it Aescape. Because sometimes, the best experiences aren’t about seeing more, they’re about feeling more.
