Readers Choose Tellus for Nearby Getaway

The Cartersville science museum is your pick for a family-friendly place to spend time on a staycation.

It appears that to get away without really going away, you go to Cartersville.

In this week’s regional Readers’ Choice survey of staycation destinations, three of the top four vote-getters are Cartersville sites: , and .

And even though are in Cartersville Patch, commenters complained about a couple of the Cartersville sites we left off the list.

So it’s only fitting that this week’s Readers’ Choice for favorite staycation destination is in Cartersville: the Tellus museum.

in Douglasville Patch actually received the most votes, getting 27 percent. But we give equal weight to reviews and ratings of the directory listings, and Sweetwater Creek received none.

Tellus, which finished second in the poll, also finished second to the Booth museum in the number of five-star ratings this week. That combination gave Tellus the win.

Thanks to everyone who voted, rated and commented.

Next week we’ll help everyone get ready for summer by tapping into the hottest trend in cold refreshment, frozen yogurt. To be sure your favorite fro-yo place makes it into our Readers’ Choice poll, mention it in the comment section of this article by 5 p.m. Sunday.

I'll be there; rabbi Alper should be good (his You Tube videos are entertaining). CongratulationsRead More to Henry Hene and the Habitat coalition for doing such wonderful work and promoting "We Build to Coexist, We Coexist to Build." Congratulations to Addie and Harvey Schneider -- both are the definition of mensch.

Hurray for the "old school" which just means having a few manners. Ms. Smith alwaysRead More seems to present three facts after what seems to be extensive research. People can disagree without being rude or spouting half truths. I'm glad we still have some ethical and honest people in our midst.
