1 # # # 2 World of Coca-Cola Georgia Aquarium The World of Coca-Cola is a museum that showcases the history of The Coca-Cola Company. One of the highlights for many visitors is the tasting room, where you can try Coca-Cola products served around the world. At the end of your visit, don’t forget to grab your souvenir glass Coke bottle and purchase some wonderful goodies. The World of Coca-Cola is located just outside Centennial Park in Pemberton Place. The Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere, filled with marine and freshwater animals. It also includes a “touch” zone where you can pet sharks, stingrays and more. My personal favorite is the beluga whale tank and the whale shark tank. The beluga whales love to interact with the audience by rubbing against the glass, while the whale shark tank is the largest tank and has a room with a glass wall where you can see every spot on the whale sharks’ backs. The aquarium is right across from The World of Coca-Cola in Pemberton Place. Centennial Olympic Park and SkyView Atlanta # The Top 10 Atlanta Attractions 5 3 Centennial Olympic Park is a 21-acre public park located in downtown Atlanta.

The park also is home to the Googie Burger which celebrates the spirit of Atlanta with an iconic and beloved food classic — the burger. Whether you want to have a picnic, throw a football, see the sites or listen to music, Centennial Park is the place to be. New to the park is SkyView Atlanta, a huge Ferris wheel that provides its riders an amazing view of Atlanta.

It is also the location for the PRSSA 2015 National Conference, Nov. 6 –10, at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, downtown. Atlanta has served as a focal point for the South since it was established as the end of the Atlantic Railroad line in 1836. Its southern roots grow deep, strong and are full of growth, from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement to the 1996 Olympics. Atlanta is much more than meets the eye, especially when it comes to attractions that draw people from all over the world. Atlanta BeltLine The BeltLine is a former railway corridor around the core of Atlanta, under development in stages as a multi-use trail. The Atlanta BeltLine is considered many things — rails, trails, green space and transit. You can go on a walk, hike, see art pieces, as well as ride a bike down many of the trails.
