Atlanta is both an economical and cultural center. There is a ton to do here! The Georgia Aquarium is a must if you’ve never experienced 10 million gallons of water in one place before. Schedule ahead, and you can even swim or dive with whale sharks. (It’s the only place in the world where you can do this.) The World of Coca-Cola is another must. This 20-acre museum complex offers a nostalgic look at the history of America’s favorite soft drink. Zoo Atlanta is one of the few zoos in the United States with giant pandas. CNN Studio Tours allows you a behind the scenes look at how the news gets reported. Opened in 1928, The Varsity is the world’s largest drive-in restaurant.
