Georgia Aquarium

The aquarium includes five stunning permanent exhibits, including Cold Water Quest, Georgia Explorer, Ocean Voyager, River Scout, and Tropical Diver, each featuring inhabitants of those environments. Visitors are fascinated by the ghostly beluga whales in the Cold Water Quest, along with Australian weedy sea dragons, giant Pacific octopus, and Japanese spider crabs. Georgia Explorer includes an interactive gallery with touch pools of horseshoe crabs, sea stars, stingrays, and shrimp. See a loggerhead sea turtle and right whales, which live just off the Georgia coast. Feel like a scuba diver in a sea of fish as you walk through an acrylic tunnel surrounded by water and creatures in the Ocean Voyager exhibit.

Birth Home of Martin Luther King, Jr

Martin Luther King, Jr., was born in this two-story Queen Anne-style house on January 15, 1929, the oldest son of a Baptist minister and an elementary-school music teacher. His childhood was a normal one. He preferred baseball to piano lessons, liked to play board games, and got a kick out of tearing the heads off his older sister's dolls (nonviolence came later). To quote his sister, Christine King Farris, "My brother was no saint ordained at birth; instead he was an average and ordinary man, called by . . . God . . . to perform extraordinary deeds."

Six Flags Over Georgia

Six Flags Over Georgia, like most amusement parks, prides itself on its roller coaster collection. Goliath and Mind Bender routinely rank among the top steel roller coasters listed by Amusement Today magazine in its Golden Ticket Awards. The collection expanded most recently in 2018 with the addition of Twisted Cyclone, a steel track conversion of the former Georgia Cyclone by Rocky Mountain Construction.

Aside from the roller coasters, Six Flags Over Georgia maintains a large number of other rides and attractions. Two attractions of note are Acrophobia, installed in 2001 as the world's first "floorless" freefall tower ride, and the Riverview Carousel.

Zoo Atlanta

This delightful 40-acre zoo dates from 1889, when George W. Hall (aka "Popcorn George") brought his traveling circus to town. Employee claims for back wages forced Hall to relinquish his menagerie, and the animal entourage was purchased by a prominent Atlanta businessman who donated the collection to the city as the basis for a zoological garden in Grant Park. It grew considerably over the years and was a popular local attraction, but had fallen into disrepair by the mid-1980s. Director Terry Maple was brought in to rescue the zoo and oversee a multimillion-dollar renovation.

CNN Studio Tour

This tour of the world's largest newsgathering organization is lots of fun and a uniquely Atlanta experience. The CNN Center is headquarters for CNN, CNN International, and Headline News. During 50-minute guided walking tours, visitors get a behind-the-scenes look at the high-tech world of 24-hour TV network news in action.

Fernbank Museum of Natural History

Exhibitions and programming about animals, places, cultures, and science discoveries.

World of Coca Cola

An exposition showcasing the world's most popular soft drink, World of Coca-Cola sounds like a huge Coke commercial—and it is. But it's also one of the biggest attractions in the city and a must-see for anybody who's ever had a taste of the Real Thing (and who hasn't?). The museum, in a 75,000-square-foot facility downtown near Centennial Park, the CNN Center, and the Georgia Aquarium, houses a massive collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia, along with numerous interactive displays, high-tech exhibits, an art gallery, and video presentations.

Center for Puppetry Arts

What's more fun than an afternoon watching a professional puppet show? Why, getting to play around with marionettes and put on one of your own, of course. At the Center for Puppetry Arts, you can tour the museum, watch a show, and then even make and operate a puppet to take home with you via one of the center's workshops. The museum's permanent collection features more than 350 puppets; rotating exhibits bring in some pop culture character favorites—like masks from the Broadway adaptation of "The Lion King"—on a temporary basis. And don't worry: You won't leave without spotting one of your beloved childhood friends, The Muppets. There's an entire atrium dedicated to Jim Henson and his colorful crew.

High Museum of Art

This fine art museum is one of Atlanta's biggest cultural attractions. From Rembrandts to Picassos, High Museum of Art gets them all as they travel the world. There's a whole lot going on here and a wide range of periods covered. The museum exhibits are a little bit Met, a little bit MoMA, and a little bit Southern (it heavily promotes artists from the region and bears the distinction of being the only major North American museum with a department dedicated to folk and self-taught art).
