Plan Notes:

The Atlanta CityPASS gives access to five top attractions — even visiting three can save money (check for current pricing).
Hours vary, so confirm before your visit.
This route works best on a weekend, when the aquarium stays open later.

World of Coca-Cola Museum (Opening Time)

Visit the Museum right at open.
Enjoy fun, interactive exhibits and tastings. Atlanta is the birthplace of Coca-Cola!

11:30 a.m. Narrated Sightseeing Trolley Tour

Great overview of Atlanta’s key landmarks and history (book in advance).
Includes stops near Martin Luther King Jr.’s memorial and childhood home.

National Center for Civil and Human Rights

Powerful, immersive museum experience.
Visiting after the trolley gives deeper context to the MLK stops.

Ponce City Market (Weekend only)

Skip if visiting on a weekday to save time.
Browse shops (most close by 6 p.m.) and grab a snack from one of the many local food stalls.

Georgia Aquarium

Open until 9 p.m. on most weekends.
A must-see, it’s one of the largest and most famous aquariums in the world. Includes whale sharks, beluga whales, otters, and more!

Dinner at Steamhouse Lounge

Casual seafood spot with great vibes and outdoor seating.
Open until 10 p.m., perfect for a relaxed end to the day.

If You Have Extra Time/Days

Use the rest of your CityPASS for more attractions.
We added:

Zoo Atlanta: nice but similar to other zoos.
Fernbank Museum of Natural History: Cute, and fun but similar to other museums.

Stroll a section of the Atlanta BeltLine, a 22-mile urban trail loop with art, shops, and green spaces.
