I have found myself traveling to events in Atlanta more and more.  When I was confirmed to attend Essence + New Voices Entrepreneur Summit & Target Holiday Market I know that I was going to be in Atlanta for 3 days.  This meant I had time to see parts of the city I hadn’t in the past.  Two places I know I wanted to visit was the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium.

The World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium are both located downtown Atlanta near Baker St North West.  If you find yourself pressed for time you can visit both in one day.  I, however, choose to break my visit sup.  In attending both places solo I found picturing taken was not an issue.  Both had staff and other visitors willing to snap pictures for me.

ATLANTA TRAVEL | World of Coca-Cola

Let’s keep it real.  Any tour will have a lot of walking included.  The World of Coca-Cola tour is approximately two hours in length.  World of Coca-Cola advises planning even more time to explore the rest of the attraction on your own after the official tour is over.  With that being said I know that comfort was key!

Cute and casual was the look I was going for.  I paired my new favorite Lee Jeans with You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out Tee and a red Bow Crossbody Bag and some white sneakers.  The World of Coca-Cola is totally Instagramable.  I stop within the tour offered IG goals.

When visiting the World of Coca-Cola there are some things to keep in mind.  There are two types of tours.  The first is VIP Guided Tours were you can a personalized tour in a small group setting.  Or a self-guided tour.  Note: Even with the self-guided each attraction has staff available to explain in detail information about the history of Coca-Cola.  Each ticket includes access to all of World of Coca‑Cola’s exhibits, films, and experiences.

The museum hours vary so I suggest confirming the hours before visiting.  You can also purchase tickets online which also you to skip the ticketing line,  Toward the end of the tour you taste more than 100 beverages from the Coca-Cola family from around the globe.  My favorite was Stoney from the African drink bar.  Don’t forget to bring extra cash because the tours exits through the World of Coca-Cola store.  Get more information on the World of Coca-Cola here.

ATLANTA TRAVEL | Georgia Aquarium

I had such an amazing time at Georgia Aquarium.  There were so many things to see and do.  Georgia Aquarium is home to hundreds of species and thousands of animals across its seven major galleries.  Georgia Aquarium has the second largest aquarium in the world.  I did a personal walking tour.

Outside the standing walking tour Georgia Aquarium also has a xxx I’m very much interested in taking part in on my next visit.  I wasn’t prepared for that this time because I showed up in a suit.  Yes I was photo ready in a Tailored Suit Blazer, Polka Dot Scoop Neck Tank,| Grazer Suit Pants, Big Bank$ Clutch, and my comfortable white sneakers.  Side note for my IG family:  Be careful when taking pictures because some of the fish are sensitive to the flash from camera (or camera phone) lights.

When visiting the Georgia Aquarium there are some things to keep in mind.  There are many different add on that can done with visiting.  For example interactive time with Beluga, Behind the Seas Tour, Dolphin Encounter, and the Penguin waddle just to name a few.  Also with good planning you can attend events like Yoga by the Water.    

Georgia Aquarium is nonprofit and the largest aquarium in the western hemisphere.  They have made a comment to awareness and preservation of our ocean and aquatic animals around the globe.  In supporting the Georgia Aquarium helps them with their mission of treating every animal with love and care, and concentrate research and conservation activities where they matter most.

In order to the must out your visit confirm the status of the aquatic animals you’re looking to see.  Check the hours on special exhibits.  Get more information on the Georgia Aquarium here.
