During your Atlanta vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Yellow River Game Ranch
Bordering the Yellow River, this 24-acre animal preserve offers close encounters of the 4-legged kind -- a chance to view, pet, feed, and generally mingle with some 600 animals (always including quite a few babies) who live in open enclosures or right out in the open, along a 1-mile oak- and hickory-shaded forest trail. Owner Art Rilling knows every animal on the ranch by name and can give you chapter and verse on each one's personality, preferences, and in some cases, romantic history. The animals know they're among friends here and are highly socialized, so you have a unique chance to study them up close. Keep in mind that all these animals smell like, well, animals. If a barnyard atmosphere bothers you, don't visit.Inhabitants include donkeys named Rhett and Scarlett, Georgia black bears that stand up and beg for marshmallows, goats, dozens of rabbits in Bunny Burrows (kids can pet the bunnies), an assortment of interesting-looking chickens, a herd of buffalo, sheep, burros, goats, ponies, a skunk named General Sherman (we are in Atlanta, after all), and a groundhog named General Beauregard Lee who lives in a white colonnaded Southern mansion complete with miniature satellite dish.Consider packing a picnic lunch. There are tables throughout the property, and one especially nice picnic area overlooks the river.
World of Coca-Cola
An exposition showcasing the world's most popular soft drink, World of Coca-Cola sounds like a huge Coke commercial. And it is. But it's also one of the biggest attractions in the city and a must-see for anybody who's ever had a taste of the Real Thing (and who hasn't?). The vast three-story pavilion houses a massive collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia, along with numerous interactive displays, high-tech exhibits, and video presentations.The self-guided tour begins on the third level, where visitors are greeted by a Rube Goldberg-esque kinetic sculpture called "Bottling Fantasy." Exhibits trace the history of Coca-Cola from its 1886 debut at Jacob's Pharmacy in downtown Atlanta to its current worldwide fame. Highlights include a re-creation of a 1930s soda fountain (a jukebox on the premises plays Coke-themed pop songs of yesteryear like "Sweet Coca-Cola Bush," sung by Shirley Temple); a history of Coke's diverse advertising campaigns (did you know that Maxwell House's "good to the last drop" was originally a Coke slogan?); a video on the making of the "Hilltop Reunion" Coke commercial (it kicked off the "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" campaign); print ads featuring screen stars such as Jean Harlow, Claudette Colbert, Clark Gable, and Cary Grant; and an interactive audio exhibit that lets you listen to Coke commercials sung by pop stars. And there's much, much more; this experience is a total immersion in Coca-Cola.If you've worked up a thirst going through the museum, you can sample unlimited amounts of 40 Coca-Cola Company beverages at Club Coca-Cola, including 20 international drinks that are not sold in the United States (for example, a pineapple/orange/banana beverage marketed only in Kenya). The kids will go wild, but the drinks are on the house, so what the heck. The tour ends in the first-floor gift shop, which sells a mind-boggling array of Coca-Cola logo items -- everything from T-shirts to Coke polar bears. Allow about 90 minutes to drink it all in. Weekdays are the prime time to visit if you want to avoid long lines. This attraction will be moving to a brand new 35,000-square-foot facility in downtown Atlanta, across from Centennial Olympic Park, in late 2006 or early 2007.
CNN Studio Tour
This tour of the world's largest newsgathering organization is lots of fun, and a uniquely Atlanta experience. The CNN Center is headquarters for CNN, CNN International, and Headline News. During 40-minute guided walking tours, visitors get a behind-the-scenes look at the high-tech world of 24-hour TV network news in action.You'll find the tour desk in the main lobby near the base of an eight-story escalator. While you're waiting for the tour to begin, you can have a videotape made of yourself reading the day's top stories from behind a CNN anchor desk. The tour starts in an exhibit area where you'll find timelines covering the history of CNN and Turner Broadcasting, interactive kiosks where you can surf the CNN websites or access clips from the top 100 stories that CNN has covered, memorabilia from some of those events, and a journalism ethics display. A theater that re-creates CNN's main control room allows you to experience the behind-the-scenes elements of a news broadcast.Next, you'll enter a special effects studio and get a glimpse of the technology that goes into the production of global news. Here you'll discover the magic of a high-tech Blue Chromakey system (it's what's used to broadcast that big map behind the weather folks), see how on-air graphics are made, and learn the secrets of the TelePrompTer.On another level, visitors get a bird's-eye view of the main CNN newsroom from a glass-walled observation station. You'll see the hustle and bustle of writers composing news scripts. If a live broadcast is in progress -- and chances are good that one will be -- you can see CNN newscasters at work. Tour guides are knowledgeable and can answer virtually any question.The longer, more extensive VIP tour allows visitors to actually step out onto the main CNN newsroom floor and explore production areas not normally accessible to the public.After your visit, stop by the Turner Store, which carries network-logo clothing and gift items, along with MGM movie paraphernalia. For sports fans, there's the Braves Clubhouse store, featuring the Atlanta Braves logo on every item you can imagine. There are several restaurants and numerous fast-food outlets in the atrium of the CNN Center, as well as a few shops. Keep in mind that this tour includes quite of bit of walking and a very steep escalator ride, which carries you to great heights to begin the tour. Those afraid of heights might want to consider skipping the tour.
Laurel Hill Bed and Breakfast
0This private urban retreat is about as delightful as they come, with a host to match. Laurel Hill Bed and Breakfast is actually two individual houses -- Dudley House and Agnew House -- both perched high above the street. Named for the laurel that grows wild on the property, the venture is the result of a lot of hard work. Innkeeper Dave Hinman lived in one of the homes for about 15 years. When the house next door -- a mirror image of his own -- became available, he purchased it and renovated both English Tudors to create a B&B.In addition to revamping the two warm and inviting homes, Hinman created a wonderful outdoor environment on the hill rising behind the B&B. Here, winding paths lead you up through the property to secluded and tranquil seating areas -- perfect places for reflecting quietly and enjoying a relaxing moment. The property's highest point looks out from among native Georgia Oaks and Pines, providing an eagle eye view of the quaint Lake Claire historic neighborhood.Dave does the cooking himself. Individually prepared full American breakfasts are served each morning on an open schedule, beginning with the first request and ending with a relaxed last call at 11am. Mouthwatering deserts are featured each afternoon in Agnew House only and on most Saturdays, a relaxed Dave serves his "Southern Afternoon Tea." The dining environment is relaxing and enjoyable, and Dave seems to have a knack for knowing when you'd like to chat and when you just want to enjoy some time alone or with your traveling companion.Five suites are available between the two houses, including two suites with Jacuzzi baths and double showers. Luxuriously soft Ralph Lauren linens can be found everywhere from the bed sheets to the towels, and fresh flowers and beautiful antiques add to the relaxing atmosphere. Lake Claire is in a central location, so there are many attractions and restaurants to explore in the area. Or you can just linger around Laurel Hill and enjoy.
Sheraton Midtown Atlanta Hotel at Colony Square
Popular with entertainers playing at the Woodruff Arts Center just across the street, this theatrically themed property boasts an expansive lobby, which can be viewed from above on rounded balconies that resemble balcony seating in a theater. Common spaces are divided by huge sweeping curtains, much like those used on stage across the street. The hotel was built in 1974 as an opulent anchor of the Colony Square complex (which includes a minimall of 20 shops and restaurants, including a copy shop, photo shop, post office, bank, drugstore, and florist). The hotel has hosted Frank Sinatra and Linda Ronstadt, not to mention presidents Reagan, Ford, Carter, Bush, and Clinton. This hotel is the perfect choice for outdoor enthusiasts, since Piedmont Park is just a few blocks away. The hotel borders the lovely Ansley Park neighborhood. Also nearby are the High Museum of Art and the Atlanta Botanical Garden.Rooms are quite plush and gorgeous, decorated with contemporary furnishings.
Westin Peachtree Plaza
You wouldn't expect that a 73-story, 1,000-room hotel could be described as cozy, but that adjective fits the Westin, which completed a $30 million renovation several years ago. The 300-square-foot rooms are both elegant and intimate, and floor-to-ceiling windows provide dramatic views of the city. Westin's "Heavenly Beds," boasting a custom designed pillow-top mattress set, a down blanket, three luxury line sheets, a comforter, a duvet, and five of the softest pillows ever, guarantee you a good night's sleep. The revolving Sun Dial Restaurant, on the 71st floor, offers sophisticated American fare and an impressive 360-degree view of the city skyline. The revolving Sun Dial bar, on the 73rd floor, is a good spot for cocktails and light fare. The Cafe restaurant, located in the atrium lobby, serves buffet and a la carte breakfasts. The Starbucks Coffee Bar is open daily for coffee, drinks, tea, sandwiches, and pastries. There's also the Lobby Bar and the adjoining Sidewalk Cafe. Twenty-eight rooms are accessible to travelers with disabilities.
