World of Coca-Cola, Atlanta, GA

If you miss this attraction, you really are missing a bottle of free coke and sampling of Coke around the world. Oh wait, there is a 20$ for admission. Entry to the museum is in batches and every guest receives a small coke tin in the front room. Next is the introduction room that holds 125 years of coke artifacts. This is followed by a 6-minute feel-good video.
From the theater guests enter the main lobby. It showcases several coca-cola bottle sculptures from around the world. At this level, guests have the opportunity to take a picture with the infamous polar bear. 
This museum is also a bottling plant but it produces only 1200 bottles per minute. This is way less than the production plants.
 And more memorabilia.
The fun part is tasting beverages from around the world. Some were great but some were disgusting. If you have the time and wouldn't mind spending money or just want to visit this place out of curiosity, go ahead and visit. But you won't miss much if you decide to skip this museum.

Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta, Georgia

Georgia aquarium is rated no #1 by TripAdvisor in the US. With around 10 million fresh and marine water, Georgia aquarium attracts huge crowds. This is a must visit attraction in Atlanta. Purchase tickets online for a discounted price if you want to avoid wasting time in a mile long line for hours. 
Make sure to see the Dolphin and Sea Lion shows. Both shows are worth your ticket price. No videos/ pictures are allowed in the show. Dolphins show was brilliant and the Sea Lions were hilarious. It is amazing how the trainers communicate with these amazing creatures.
Watching these spectacular sea creatures through huge displays is arresting. Belugas, Otters and Penguins in cold water quest are awe-inspiring. Ocean voyager takes you through an acrylic tunnel which has huge whale sharks, stingrays and many other fish. Just sit in front of a big acrylic window and gaze at the magnificent creatures.
Lot of touch pools through out the aquarium and the staff are friendly. At the end, do not miss the colorful fish at coral reef.
