Atlanta is a beautiful city full of so many great places to visit with the family! I remember when our family moved to Georgia a little over a year ago, I could not believe how many fun things there were to do in a single city. I have had the pleasure of visiting several of these places and they did not disappoint. So with no further ado, here are the ten places to visit in Atlanta with your family!

Such attractions include interactive exhibits such as a multi-sensory 4-D movie (3-D glasses with moving seats) and get an inside look at the bottling process. You can also view more than 1,200 artifacts from around the world or give the 7-foot Coca‑Cola Polar Bear a big hug! The most popular locating at World of Coca­-Cola is the tasting experience where you are given the opportunity to sample over 100 flavors from around the world.

During your visit you will experience nteractive wildlife shows, meet free-flying birds and animal ambassadors from around the globe, watch keeper talks and training demos, meet a Keeper or watch training in action. Through your journey you can particpate in Zoo’s clues by helping detective Clue Spotter the Otter crack the case with monthly mysteries. There is also a hands on expereince at the petting Zoo where you can make new buddies in Outback Station, featuring friendly goats and sheep. If the kids need to burn off some energy, the activity-packed KIDZone playground and naked mole rat-inspired tunnel zone is the perfect place to stop.

Georgia Aquarium: A few months ago we enjoyed an amazing and unforgettable trip to the Georgia Aquarium. I highly suggest dedicating your entire day to visiting the aquarium because there is so much to see. The building in broken up into exhibits, which makes it very easy to explore. There is also a dolphin show that you absolutely have to see, this way by far our favorite part of the trip. An attached parking garage, plus a food court located in the aquarium makes it simple for a family to spend the whole day enjoying this great attraction.

Through this play, children are learning and growing. They are becoming early scientists and ask questions like, “If I do this, then what happens next?” and as mathematicians, they ask, “How many apples can I put in this basket?”

Six Flags Over Georgia: Our family has visited Six Flags Over Georgia several times and it is one of our favorite attractions in the Atlanta area! This is a very large, very clean and very fun park for the entire family. Children of all ages can enjoy a day at the park with rides for those thrill seekers, and a water park for those looking to cool off. There are plenty of shops and great places to eat within the park, the kids really enjoying looking around all of the different shops. Six Flags Over Georgia is constantly hostinf fun events, adding new and exciting rides… this is a place our family highly recommend you visit.
