During your Atlanta vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Philips Arena
This spectacular $213 million arena, home to the NHL Atlanta Thrashers and NBA Atlanta Hawks, was built on the site of the old Omni Coliseum. Tours of the arena are available every half-hour daily 9am to 6pm on non-event days and 9am to 5pm on event days. The hour-long tours take in the Hawks' and Thrashers' locker rooms, the press box, and the luxury suites. Tickets are $7 adults, $5 seniors, and $4.50 children age 4 to 12; age 3 and under free. A combination tour of the Philips Arena and the CNN Studio is available for adults only for $11.The Hawk Walk, which connects the CNN Center with Philips Arena, is worth a look if you're a sports fan. It's an indoor street that sells food, beverages, and Atlanta Hawks and Thrashers merchandise, and promotes TBS stations. Huge video screens display live action at the arena or shows from one of the Turner networks, while giant billboards flash ticker information from CNNSI and CNNfn.
Fernbank Science Center
Owned and funded by the DeKalb County School System, this museum/planetarium/observatory, located adjacent to the 65-acre Fernbank Forest, is an educational partner of the Fernbank Museum of Natural History. Plan to visit the entire complex on the same day. There's a 1 1/2-mile forest trail here, with trees, shrubs, ferns, wildflowers, mosses, and other plants marked for identification. An extensive rose garden is located next door to the museum.The indoor facility houses exhibits such as a video display on geological phenomena (volcanoes, earthquakes, mountain formation, and so on); a gem collection; an exhibit tracing the development of life in Georgia from 500 million years ago to a million years ago; a complete weather station; fossilized trees; the original Apollo 6 space capsule and space suit (on loan from the Smithsonian); computer games; a replica of the Okefenokee Swamp, complete with sound effects; and models of dinosaurs that roamed Atlanta in prehistoric times. There are planetarium shows, and, at the Observatory, which contains the largest telescope in the world dedicated to public education, an astronomer gives talks and helps visitors to spot celestial objects.
Jimmy Carter Library and Museum
Set on 30 acres of gardens, lakes, and waterfalls, this impressive presidential library houses some 27 million pages of documents, memoranda, and correspondence from Jimmy Carter's White House years. There are also 1 1/2 million photographs and hundreds of hours of audio- and videotapes. The library's hilltop site is a historic one; it was from this spot that Sherman watched the Battle of Atlanta.In the extensive museum, you'll find an exact replica of the Oval Office during Carter's presidency -- an exhibit enhanced by a recording of Carter speaking about his experiences in that office. A large display of "gifts of state" runs the gamut from a Dresden figurine of George and Martha Washington (a gift from Ireland) to a carpet from the Shah of Iran. You'll also see the table setting used when the Carters entertained Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping and his wife in the State Dining Room; a video of artists such as the late pianist Vladimir Horowitz performing in the East Room; campaign memorabilia; and a large display devoted to the activities of Rosalynn Carter. Other exhibits focus on Carter's support of human rights (there's a letter from Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov and Carter's reply); his boyhood days (his sixth-grade report card and a photo of the Plains High basketball team are two of the items on display); and his pre-presidential life as a peanut farmer, governor, and state senator.There are informative videos throughout, including an interactive "town meeting" video through which visitors can ask Carter questions on subjects ranging from world affairs to his personal life. Another intriguing participatory video lets you choose your response to a terrorist crisis and learn the probable consequences of your choice.Consider having lunch here. There's an excellent cafeteria, run by one of the city's top catering companies, with patio seating overlooking a Japanese garden and pond. If you're still in a political mood, stop by nearby Manuel's Tavern, a local pub at 602 N. Highland Ave. that's popular with journalists and politicians. President Carter stops in occasionally.
Ritz-Carlton Atlanta
Without a doubt, this is Atlanta's finest downtown hotel. With Persian rugs gracing marble floors, silk-tapestried and African mahogany-paneled walls hung with a collection of 18th- and 19th-century paintings, and valuable antiques throughout its public areas, it's hard to believe that the Ritz was built as late as 1984. The impeccable service also harks back to another, more gracious era; you'll be cosseted as never before. Elegant rooms, many with bay windows, are furnished with beautiful mahogany pieces, and some have four-poster beds. Four rooms have been modified to be accessible to travelers with disabilities.All Ritz-Carlton restaurants are a treat to dine in, and the Atlanta Grill is no exception. Overlooking all the action along Peachtree Street, Atlanta Grill specializes in Chef Peter Zampaglione's Southern-inspired cuisine, including grilled game and seafood. Diners can count on a club-like, warm atmosphere, and the soothing sounds of live jazz in house every night. The Atlanta Grill is a popular Atlanta dining choice with both guests and non-guests.
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.
Holiday Inn Express and Suites
This is a good choice if you're looking for a great Buckhead location at less than the usual Buckhead price. Formerly Summerfield Suites by Wyndham, it's within walking distance of several fine restaurants (Pricci is across the street and the Atlanta Fish Market is a few blocks away), and close to Buckhead nightlife. There's also good shopping in the area, and a park nearby for the kids. Accommodations include spacious one- and two-bedroom suites with queen-size beds, and a separate living room. There's a separate vanity/dressing area with a sink outside the bathroom. Six suites are equipped for travelers with disabilities. The complimentary full breakfast is served buffet-style in a bright room next to the lobby. Evening guest receptions are held Tuesday through Thursday evenings.
