Atlanta

The ATL… Big Peach… Empire City of the South… Atlanta is the center of entertainment and often called the soul of the South. Can you think of anywhere else you can tour the world headquarters of CNN, discover the history of Coca-Cola, and tour the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site? We definitely can’t! Experience southern hospitality at it’s finest in a city filled with history, culture, music and more. (And by more did we mention the most amazing southern cooking one can ever find!?)

Explore the “Big Peach” Tour

Students will see that learning can be fun! ATL is just bubbling with excitement – literally – when you tour the World of Coca-Cola. Discover the world-famous soft drink’s history through interesting exhibits, 4-D theater, classic ads and a fully-functioning bottling station. You won’t be able to avoid the sugar rush after tasting over 70 different flavors! Students will be well-caffeinated for an afternoon of learning at the Georgia Aquarium. STEAM exhibits, hands-on learning experiments, and endless exhibits expand scientific minds – and passions. Hit a sweet note with students when hosting a dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe! After the last song has played, take a stroll around Centennial Olympic Park, the home of the 1996 Olympic games.

Start the day off with a delicious buffet breakfast at the hotel, then start making your way to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Historic Site, where you can tour the real childhood home of the great modern civil rights leader. Check out the Sweet Auburn Curb Market for a mouth-watering selection of Instagram worthy food to satisfy everyone’s cravings. Post-lunch, get an insider’s view of live news broadcasting at the world-famous CNN Studios – are you ready for your close up? This tour will help you learn how CNN became a worldwide leader in news. Grab dinner at the Variety, the largest drive-in restaurant in the country – this place sells more Coca-Cola by volume than anywhere in the world! End the night on a high note (literally) by riding the Skyview Atlanta, a ferris wheel that goes 20 stories high.

Have a final buffet breakfast at the hotel before checking out. Save the best for last by heading over to Georgia’s most popular attraction: Stone Mountain Park. Built on the world’s largest piece of exposed granite (we’re talking one BIG piece of rock), there’s hiking trails, thrill rides, shopping and more to keep you busy all day long. Trek through the SkyHike or take a cable car to the top of the mountain – but realize no matter what you do, the views will have your friends and family wishing they were up in the treetops with you. With options for lunch and dinner in the park, you can spend the entire day at this beautiful destination.
