As an (almost) Atlanta native, I realized that Stone Mountain park wasn’t mentioned, which has been a staple attraction for as long as I can remember. It fits in with the many outdoor attractions mentioned, as you can hike up the enormous granite monolith, go camping, fishing, attend seasonal festivals, etc., and it’s within close proximity to the city itself, fyi.

Went there in 2018 great city. Loved King Center, Jimmy Carter Museum, Coke Museum, ate at Varsity, Toured Mercedes Benz Stadium then Margaret Mitchell Museum where Gone With the Wind was wrote. Then took CNN tour before leaving back to Ok. Plus met Robin Meade from HLN morning express before going off air. Want to go back see some more stuff a lot to see. Need at least 2-3 full days to get experience for sure.

Eliz and Derek, you mentioned you went to Nearby Athens, Ga. I would like to mention that Athens is the birthplace of Southern Rock Music, bands like The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker , Charlie Daniels and Lynyrd Skynyrd. There is the music walk of fame. Harriet and I also enjoyed Atlanta and its Food Markets and Restaurants. If there is a don't to mention. It's Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. Very Busy and Very Difficult. Great info to know when traveling to Atlanta and surrounding cities. Sending you lots of love💖💖💖 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond. Va.

I'll be visiting Atlanta for New Years week. I'll be there for around 5 days. I intend on going to the Coke museum and Zoo Atlanta but likely will pass up the aquarium as its kinda expensive. I'll also pass on Stone Mountain as I have a fear of heights. In terms of restaurants, I'll mostly be eating at Waffle House or Bojangles as they don't have them where I live (San Diego) but I also want to try Mary Mac's Tea Room after watching a Wolter's World video on Atlanta.

It probably all depends on how interested you are in the exhibits, but I'd say a couple hours minimum at each! Have fun in Atlanta!

I like Helen, but even they will admit they have no German heritage, it was just an idea to attract tourist to a town on hard times, and it worked. Atlanta is a center for higher education with 32 colleges and universities such as Georgia Tech, Emory and HBCUs like Clark and Morehouse. Why you would direct people two hours east to visit a college well outside the metropolitan area is an insult to all the great universities actually within metro Atlanta. Would you tell people visiting New York to take a day trip to Syracuse?
@MeansToTravel
Жыл бұрын
Haha please know I wasn't hating on Atlanta schools, but it wouldn't be a day trip if you stayed within Atlanta! It would just be another local attraction. Plus, two of my best friends went to Georgia, so I'm happy to share about the college town they love. 😇

Also, I know this is a bit pedantic, but as someone who used to live in NYC for many many years, Syracuse is too far away for a daytrip. BUT! I went to IU and would 100% say to take a daytrip to Bloomington if you visit Indy (one hour away) because Bloomington is so fun!
