atlanta vacation tips

Atlanta, Georgia is a great getaway and a lot of fun. Affectionately known as a little New York and The Beverly Hills of The South, there are plenty of things to do. Since I love to save money when I travel, I want to first give you a few money-saving tips for your next trip to this fabulous city!

Here’s how to save some cash on the things you’ll want to do in Atlanta.

  • Groupon Atlanta offers all types of discounts on various activities and food around town. Just like using Groupon at home, why not save on eating out and any other activities you do while you’re on vacation?

  • The Atlanta CityPass is a budget lifesaver. I highly recommend checking this out. The Atlanta CityPass allows you save over 40% while selecting five activities. Rather than paying for all your tickets separately (and paying more), you save by buying them together. You do get some flexibility in the tickets you choose as part of your pass. Click to learn more.

  • Scout Mob Atlanta offers discounted food and activities around Atlanta, much like Groupon.

These three sites will help you save all kinds of money on your trip. The Atlanta CityPass mentions several places you might want to visit, so how do you decide? Here’s a little more information on some of them, plus a few others.

Where To Visit

World of Coca Cola is fun on top of history on top of fun. You’ll explore the history of Coca Cola around the world on this enjoyable tour. Make sure you’re ready to taste all the flavors from around the world at the end. The World of Coca Cola is located at 121 Baker Street.

The Center for Human and Civil Rights
is an amazing experience and perhaps a wake up call for some. Overall the visit is emotional, but almost everyone agrees it is worthwhile for adults and children. One of the most-talked about exhibits is the the lunch counter experience, and while it is not recommended for younger children, it teaches a valuable lesson. The Center for Human and Civil Rights is located at 100 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard.

College Football Hall of Fame
is game-time excitement on a whole different level. This museum has all the college football and tailgating history imaginable. If you love football, you’ll find amazing insights and information here. It’s a can’t-miss attraction for the football fan. The College Football Hall of Fame is located at 250 Marietta St., N.W. 

Fernbank Science Center is family friendly before 5pm and adults only after 5 pm. This is a fun place to visit that families will want to include on their Atlanta itinirary. The IMAX theater is impressive and always showing something great. There are a variety of exhibits and activities to choose from, and the new outdoor space is amazing. The Fernbank Science Center is located at 767 Clifton Road. 

Georgia Aquarium is an experience to be embraced. Visit and explore everything it has to offer from its outstanding exhibits to special events—another can’t-miss attraction! The Georgia Aquarium is located at 225 Baker Street NW. 

SkyViewAtlanta — Towering almost 20 stories above Centennial Park, the SkyView Ferris wheel features 42 climate-controlled gondolas providing guests with panoramic views of downtown Atlanta and the surrounding metropolitan area. You might want to choose the VIP gondola with Ferrari-style seats, a glass floor, and a longer ride. (Check for a Groupon for this attraction.)

CNN Studio Tours is an absolute must, especially if you have any interest at all in television or news. You’ll love seeing how the magic of TV news all comes together. The CNN Studio Tour does not disappoint and is located at 1 CNN Center. 

Note: If you’re not using The Atlanta CityPass and are buying separate tickets for the above events,  check their websites first. Discounts are sometimes offered on the websites or social media accounts.

Atlantic Station
is fun for sightseeing, shopping, and people watching. It is a live, work, and play attraction. It always has something going on from a festival to an event. Atlantic Station is located at 1380 Atlantic Drive. 

Lenox Square Mall is Atlanta’s luxury mall located at 3393 Peachtree Street.

The Shoppes Around Buckhead is Atlanta’s Rodeo Drive.  The shopping and dining here is top notch and like no other.  The roll call includes names like Jimmy Choo, Tom Ford, and more.  The Shoppes Around Buckhead is located at 3035 Peachtree Road.  

The above list is just a sampling of Atlanta attractions and offerings. You can always find a good festival https://www.atlanta.net/events/festivals/, or check out the latest events https://events.accessatlanta.com/home. There are so many reason to get away to Atlanta.

    Great blog post! We drive through Atlanta on each of our trips to FL and while we have stayed outside the city, we have thought about making a dedicated trip to Atlanta to vacation.

I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inaug I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inauguration. She was the poet at Bill Clinton's inauguration, if anyone remembers. This is the link to that reading youtube.com/watch?v=8ecWterxtq0 ("On the Pulse of Morning")  She lived not far from me, and when she died, I went to her estate sale. I regretted not going to see her speak while I had the chance and wanted to buy something that belonged to her. We were actually able to go into her house. People were picking through her dishes and rooms full of books, and there were paintings and scuptures she'd been gifted that were selling for thousands of dollars. Her bedroom was closed off, but it felt like we shouldn't be there.  For the few who don't know it, this is probably her most famous poem and my favorite:  Still I Rise  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.  Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.  Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?  Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.  You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.  Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?  Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.  Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
