Things To Do In Atlanta
Atlanta is one of the U.S.’s most popular and exciting capital cities. It’s a major draw for tourists, and many Atlanta residents can’t imagine living anywhere else. Visitors and residents alike have the choice of plenty of exciting things to do in Atlanta. Let us show you just a few of the great attractions and activities that Atlanta has to offer.
Touring Atlanta in a Unique Way
Getting yourself familiar with the Atlanta landscape has never been so exciting! If you have always wanted to ride on one of those futuristic-looking Segways, then there is no better way to try it out than with an Atlanta City Segway Tour. On a tour you’ll learn lots of interesting Atlanta history and visit many of the city’s major attractions on your own Segway. Even longtime residents of Atlanta may find themselves learning something new and experiencing the city as they never have before in this fun way.
A Hilarious Night Out
Just one example of a great destination for a night out in Atlanta is The Whole World Theatre, which doesn’t call itself “Atlanta’s antidepressant” for nothing. Many Atlanta residents enjoy coming regularly and make a practice of taking their out-of-town guests for a night of laughs and fun at this well known comedy improv theatre. Audience members get to suggest scenes for the show and the trained actors take the ideas and bring on the laughs. Add in tasty food and good drinks and you’re sure to have a night you’ll be raving about the next day.
Atlanta’s Famous Brand
There is perhaps no drink more popular around the world than Coca-Cola, and Atlanta is its famous home. That’s why World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta is such a popular destination. The family-friendly facility has a fun 4-D theatre and a collection of Coke memorabilia and artwork spanning many decades. But for many visitors, the best part is the tasting area where you can sample over 60 different flavors of Coke from all around the world. The flavors are organized by area so you can decide which country you think has the best version of Coca-Cola.
A Night of Theater
Visitors to the Fox Theatre in Atlanta feel as if they’re taking a step back in time when they enter the front doors. Restored to reflect the decor of the 1920’s, the Fox Theatre is home to “Mighty Mo,” a classic Moller organ with over 3600 pipes. The stage plays, concerts, and musicals that are performed here are greatly enhanced by the friendly staff, architecture, and overall atmosphere of this theatre. The theatre even conducts tours of the building so you can get a glimpse into the history of this Atlanta landmark.
Eating in Atlanta
When it comes to Atlanta dining, trying the local southern food restaurants is a must. For hearty, comforting, rich, delicious southern fare, local favorites include Carver’s Country Kitchen and JCT Kitchen & Bar. Carver’s is a very casual joint with a menu that boasts tremendous value. But the old standbys like fried chicken, mac and cheese, and biscuits among other items are all there in satisfying, potentially gut-busting portions. Then there’s the more sophisticated JCT Kitchen & Bar, with a bistro feel that is warm and inviting. The decor is sleek and the menu offers all the classics along with more sophisticated dishes. The upstairs bar is a great place for a nice evening out with friends. Great southern food and so many other fabulous Atlanta dining options in all kinds of cuisines are a great way to top off a day enjoying the many things to do in Atlanta.
