What to Do
Activities in the Atlanta Area
Step into the world of broadcasting at the CNN world headquarters. Anyone can enter the network’s building and enjoy shopping and eating, but those who want to get a behind-the-scenes look can join a 50-minute studio tour. These tours take visitors on an in-depth journey that allows a detailed insight into each step of the broadcasting process. If you’re lucky, you might even get a chance to sit in on a live broadcast.
Atlantic Station is a district in Atlanta, GA west of midtown. It is one of the newest areas of the city with plenty of apartments, lofts, and condos for those who want to live there. The neighborhood also has a focus on shopping, and you can find a wide variety of stores set up as an open-air mall. You'll find smaller boutiques, chain stores, and department stores. When you get hungry, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from, including sit-down establishments and cafes where you can get a quick bite.
Holding the title of largest aquarium in the world, the Georgia Aquarium is a must-see Atlanta attraction. It houses more than 100,000 animals in its six galleries, which include different ecosystems. The most popular place in the aquarium is the magnificent Ocean Voyager exhibit. Here, visitors walk through an acrylic tunnel, as they see sharks, whales, and other species swimming around and above. Other highlights include shows and a shark tank diving.
One of the most symbolic Atlanta points of interest, this group of landmarks commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. Landmarks include places that were important to Dr. King’s life, such as his childhood home and the church where he preached.
There are also several sites dedicated to the fight for human rights. Visit the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, and the touching “I Have a Dream” International World Peace Rose Garden.
This quartz monzonite boasts the largest bas-relief in the entire world, and, as such, is well-worth a visit. Its history is shrouded in controversy due to an attempt to make it the “Mount Rushmore of the South” by carving the figures of Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis —three key figures for the Confederacy— on it. The figures are still there, despite heavy criticism, but visitors also come to the mountain to enjoy its beautiful surroundings. The view from the top is astonishing, and the mountain includes a wildlife preserve, a beach, restaurants, and even two golf courses.
Celebrating the world’s most popular soft drink, the World of Coca-Cola showcases all things Coke. The museum is an absolute must-see for every visitor to Atlanta. The highlight of the visit is sampling Coke products from around the world. But there are also Andy Warhol pieces to view, a 4-D film to catch, company history to learn, and what seems like 20 billion promotional materials to behold.
The World of Coca-Cola is divided up into two levels, called “The Hub.” On the lower level, a short film introduces visitors to the magic behind a bottle of Coke. After watching the film, visitors can browse a number of attractions, including the Milestones of Refreshment exhibit, which traces the history of Coke.
The second level is where visitors will be completely immersed in the world of Coca-Cola. At the Secret Formula 4-D Theater, you can watch a film about an eccentric scientist on a quest to uncover the mysterious secret formula for Coke.
The College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta honors the greatest players throughout the history of college football. Their stories and achievements are commemorated here in a one-of-a-kind experience. Visitors can learn about exceptional players and the records they broke by exploring the exhibitions in the Hall of Fame. Permanent, etched-glass representations of each Hall of Fame player are on display. There are also 10 augmented reality displays where visitors can view images and video of players and coaches from their favorite school.
More than 750 helmets representing each college football team are on display, as well as larger than life images from 11 conference champions that are updated each season. Visitors can also see historical game-worn uniforms. Other exhibitions explore the dedication, passion, and sacrifice that goes into being a college football player.
The 1996 Summer Olympic Games live on at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park, a 21-acre site that remains one of the city’s premiere public park spaces. The park's main icon—and one of Georgia’s most photographed landmarks—would be the Fountain of Rings, an interactive play area that uses computer-controlled lights and jets of water to display the Olympic Rings. The fountain water show is synchronized to music, and in the warmest months, kids—and even adults—run through the jets to cool off.
Also noteworthy are the park's stone paths, comprised of inscribed, dedicated bricks that line the walkways. The bricks, bought by Atlanta and Georgia natives, as well as by people all over the world, even helped fund the games in 1996. The city hosts an online brick-locator tool to help people find their own bricks or those of friends and family. The dedicated ones make up a significant portion of the nearly 800,000 bricks used to build the park.
