So you’ve taken the family on a whirlwind tour of the southeast and find yourself in the lovely metropolis of Atlanta. There are plenty of enticing Atlanta attractions that appeal to adults, but what can you do to entertain the kids?
Although I’m not sure why a landlocked city owns bragging rights to the world’s largest aquarium, Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is flush with 8,000,000 gallons of water and the creatures needed to make it come alive. There are five themed galleries-Cold Water Quest, Tropical Diver, River Scout Georgia Explorer and Ocean Voyager and you’ll want to see them all. This place is highly interactive with touch pools, a giant see through underwater tunnel and an educational 4D Wondershow. Set aside a whole 
day for this attraction and be sure to buy your tickets online before you go.
Atlanta’s also home to one of the country’s oldest zoos, Zoo Atlanta, In addition to the expected, there are plenty of baby animals, a playground, the Wild Like Me interactive play area, an endangered species carousel and a miniature train ride. There are also special programs you can take part in if you’re timing’s right, like the very hands-on Keeper for a Day and Family Nightcrawler overnights.
Welcome back!
