How far is Houston from Atlanta driving?
My parents just moved to Houston a few months ago, but I live in the Atlanta area with my family. We’d like to visit them soon, but flying with kids is such a hassle. How long would a road trip from Atlanta to Houston take?

How fun! Road trips with kids can lead to the best memories. The shortest route to Houston from
Atlanta
driving is about 793 miles and will take an average of 12 hours to drive. Most of the trip will take you on I-10, and you’ll get to pass through some pretty interesting places!The standard route will take you through the Alabama cities of Montgomery and Mobile, along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, then through Baton Rouge and Lafayette in Louisiana, passing Beaumont, TX to finally arrive in
Houston
. A 12-hour drive sounds like a drag, but it doesn’t have to be! With all of the great places you’ll be driving through, you have plenty of fun pit-stop options if you need to stretch your legs and get some fresh air. Here are a few ideas:
