World of Coca-Cola

Museums

136***71

A medium-sized museum that tells the history of Coca-Cola. It is very distinctive and a bit like the pavilion of the World Expo. There are quite a few visitors. They are mainly let in in groups. They first tell the history, and then watch a Coca-Cola commercial in the theater. The general idea is that Coca-Cola accompanies people in all the good moments; then they visit the history of Coke on their own. There are two unique exhibition halls. One is the smell taste, which is to evoke the memory of the taste of different Coca-Cola by smelling; the other is the exhibition hall where you can taste Coca-Cola of various flavors. You can really drink unlimited amounts of it. There are many varieties, but in the end, I still think that Coca-Cola tastes the most classic. The last stop is the souvenir shop, which has various related derivatives. This American museum is very good at it. In short, the American exhibition business is very smooth and in place. I didn&#39;t expect a glass of sweet water to be expanded into such rich content.

Centennial Olympic Park

This square is a large park in the middle of the street, free. You can stroll around when you have time, take photos at the Fifth Ring Road, etc. There is a Ferris wheel next to it, and the view of the surrounding buildings is pretty good. Then walk to the CNN headquarters in 5 minutes.

Atlanta History Center

After reading the comments and pictures posted by other travelers, I feel that the museum has been renovated after 2020, and the renovation effect is very good. However, the ticket price has also increased-it is not $16.5 as everyone said, I clearly paid $27! And no cash or UnionPay cards are accepted.
There are too many contents. Coming here is equivalent to a museum + forest park + celebrity residence + zoo. It is also a good choice for weddings and photo-taking. After walking for a day, I didn&rsquo;t finish the tour. Can $27 be more worthwhile? There are movies and guides in the exhibition hall. I usually think my English is good, but now it seems that it is still not enough.
