Here's the Skinny on What's Included:
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
- Georgia Aquarium: Dive into the deep (metaphorically, unless you have gills) and come face-to-fin with whale sharks, beluga whales, and more creatures than you can shake a fish tank cleaner at.
- World of Coca-Cola: Get your fizz fix! Explore the history of this iconic beverage, and maybe even try a flavor that will redefine your taste buds (in a good way, we hope).
- Choose TWO from these Atlanta Gems:
- Atlanta History Center: Brush up on your Civil War and Civil Rights Movement knowledge.
- College Football Hall of Fame: Unleash your inner sports fan and celebrate the gridiron greats.
- National Center for Civil and Human Rights: Learn about the ongoing fight for equality and the heroes who paved the way.
- The SCAD Atlanta Falckenberg Museum: Immerse yourself in art, from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary masterpieces.
How to Use Your CityPASS Like a Pro:
- Buy it Before You Go: Don't wait until you're hangry and sweaty in line to snag a CityPASS. Get it online or at select retailers before you hit the ATL.
- Download the App or Print Your Tickets: Tech-savvy? Download the My CityPASS app for easy access to your tickets. More old-school? Print those babies out and keep them safe (unlike your high school dance photos).
- Activate Your Pass: First attraction = activation time! Scan your pass or show it to the friendly staff, and boom, you're in.
- Plan Your Days: CityPASS is valid for nine days, so you have plenty of time to explore. Check attraction hours and plan your itinerary to maximize your sightseeing. Pro Tip: Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends.
