CNN Center: More Than Just Breaking News

What To Do At Cnn Center Atlanta |
Behind the Scenes Magic
Let's talk about the CNN Studio Tour. Now, I know what you're thinking, "A tour? How exciting!" But hear me out. It's like being on the set of a really, really big reality show, except everyone's wearing suits. You get to peek into the newsroom, see the magic behind those weather graphics (spoiler alert: it's not real magic, but it's still cool), and even sit at a news desk and pretend to be Wolf Blitzer. Just don't start rambling about world peace.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
Eat, Pray, News
After you've channeled your inner news anchor, it's time to refuel. The CNN Center food court is a culinary melting pot, offering everything from sushi to burgers. It's like a mini United Nations of food, but without the diplomacy. And if you're feeling fancy, there are also a few upscale restaurants within the building. Just remember, tipping is mandatory, even if you order your food through a robot.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
Shop Till You Drop (News)
Okay, so maybe there's not a ton of shopping to be done at the CNN Center, but the gift shop is pretty sweet. You can pick up CNN-branded merchandise, from t-shirts to coffee mugs. It's the perfect way to show the world that you're not just a news junkie, you're a stylish news junkie.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Bonus Round: People Watching
Let's be honest, half the fun of going to the CNN Center is people watching. You never know who you might spot. Maybe you'll see Anderson Cooper grabbing a coffee, or Jake Tapper buying a souvenir. Or maybe you'll just see a bunch of regular people trying to figure out how to work the escalator. Either way, it's entertainment gold.
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
