What is there to do and see in Georgia?
GEORGIA AQUARIUM
Georgia Aquarium is the world’s most magical aquarium. Situated near Centennial Olympic Park and World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The aquarium offers its guests an experience like no other. Across six separate galleries, with more than 70 amazing habitats, 10 million gallons of water and thousands of species of marine animals, guests will marvel at, learn about and come to better understand such majestic aquatic animals as whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, beluga whales, sea otters, African penguins and thousands of species of exotic fish and other animals
THE WORLD OF COCA-COLA
Ready for a sugar rush? Immerse yourself in the World of Coca-Cola. At this famous location, explore the story of the world’s most popular beverage brand while reliving your childhood. It is at The World of Coca-Cola where they secure their secret formula (in an actual vault)! Forget Fort Knox, this recipe might be worth more than actual gold. Be sure to take in their world-class art and memorabilia, then attempt to try the more than 100 beverages options. It is truly fascinating to see the different flavors from around the world! On the way out, be sure to meet the Coca-Cola Polar Bear and take a photo.
Beyond the borders of Georgia, where can I drive in 3 hours?
If you see all there is to see in Georgia while you are on assignment with Barton, take an extended day-trip to a nearby state such as Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Alabama. Georgia is a great location to explore the United States because it borders 5 other states!
Assuming a starting point of Atlanta, traveling to these major cities are a great option:
Birmingham, Alabama: 2 hours driving
Nashville, Tennessee: 3.5 hours driving from Atlanta
Charlotte, North Carolina: This is definitely more of a commitment at 4 hours.
