From visiting the famous World of Coca-Cola museum, to embracing the various nature trails and state parks, or even trying traditional soul food, there’s something for everyone.
Atlanta has very strong ties to the civil rights movement and because of that there are numerous historic centers and museums to preserve the city’s rich history. Not-to-be-missed historic museums include the Center for Civil and Human Rights, Atlanta History Center, and the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. The World of Coca-Cola museum walks you through the history of one of the most popular beverages on the planet. Here you can get a glimpse into the story behind this iconic product. Visitors are able to sample Coke products from around the world and can see how much of an impact the company has outside of the city where it all started.
And be sure not to miss the arts and music scene. Atlanta is an epicenter for the arts, with plentiful galleries, theaters for performing arts, and a vibrant music scene known nationwide. Acknowledged as the capitol of hip hop and R&B related genres, the music industry here has produced many successful artists. There’s always a performance, concert or venue showcasing the city’s diverse talent. Catching a live performance is a must when visiting!
And for additional family friendly fun, the Georgia Aquarium has been ranked one of the top aquariums in the nation. A great day can be had investigating the more than 100,000 sea creatures, interactive activities, shows, and more. The Atlanta Zoo is another top attraction for animal and nature enthusiasts. The zoo is famous for their pandas Lun Lun and Yang Yang, which tourists can follow at home through the Panda Cam.
