During your Atlanta vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Imagine It! Chidren's Museum of Atlanta
Opened in 2003, Imagine It! is a 30,000-square-foot children's museum conveniently located across the street from Centennial Olympic Park, in an area undergoing some exciting urban renaissance. Based on Howard Gardiner's theory of multiple intelligences, Imagine It! features colorful hands-on exhibits and activities that allow children the opportunity to look, listen, touch, and explore in order to discover first-hand how things work. Fun is the priority in this high-energy environment (the learning just sneaks up). There are four major learning zones: Fundamentally Food, Let Your Creativity Flow, Tools for Solutions, and Leaping into Learning, the specialty zone for toddlers.The museum is recommended for children ages 2 to 8, but all are welcome. Due to high visitor volume, Imagine It! encourages visitors to purchase tickets online in advance to ensure entrance to the museum upon arrival. Make a day of it and visit Centennial Park across the street either before or after your museum visit.
Centennial Olympic Park
Centennial Olympic Park, one of the most enduring legacies of the 1996 Olympic Games, is a living monument to the city's memories -- both good and bad -- of that seminal event. Conceived as a town square, it represents the heart of the Olympic effort, the site where everyone flocked to celebrate the games. And when the games resumed after the bombing in the park that claimed two lives, it was where people gathered to try to revive the Olympic spirit.A 21-acre swath of green space and bricks, the park was carved out of a blighted downtown area. It was closed after the games and redesigned for permanent use before reopening in 1998. Once again the universal gathering place it was intended to be, it's an oasis of rolling lawns crisscrossed by brick pathways and punctuated by artwork, rock gardens, pools, and fountains. There are usually a few free events each month -- festivals, artists' markets, and concerts and other performances. Call for a complete listing of happenings.If you're visiting the park on your own, and not coming for a specific event, your first stop should be the visitor center on International Boulevard, in the southwest corner of the park, across from the CNN Center. This is where you'll find information about the park. If you bought a $35 commemorative brick in 1996, someone will help you locate it among the nearly 500,000 engraved bricks that were used to pave the plaza and walkways. Even if you didn't buy a brick, it's fun to wander around and read the names and messages (some pretty intriguing) engraved on them.The best part of the park is the fountain in the shape of the five interlocking Olympic Rings. It's the focus of a vast paved plaza bordered by 23 flags honoring all the host countries of the modern Games. If you're here in summer, you and the kids can frolic in the fountain (wear shirts and shoes, please), a good way to cool off in the sizzling Southern heat. Don't be shy-just about everybody in Atlanta has done this at one time or another. If getting drenched is not your thing, you can still enjoy one of the "concerts" put on by the fountains-timed water and light displays accompany seven different songs. The water jets, which normally shoot 12 feet into the air, can reach 35 feet during special effects.Located along the east border are the Quilt Plazas, five plazas of contrasting bricks that tell the story of the Centennial Olympic Games. The best "quilt" is also the most moving. Titled the Quilt of Remembrance, it pays respect to the bombing victims and contains colored marble from five continents. Be sure to read the inscriptions on its borders.Pricey Park Land--If you really, really, really had a good time at Centennial Olympic Park, you can have it all to yourself for a small fee. Though it's a public park, it's also a moneymaker managed by the Georgia World Congress Center, and parts of the park are sometimes rented for various business functions, parties, or other celebrations. There have even been a few weddings. You can rent the entire park for, um, $10,000. Call tel. 404/222-7275 for details.
White Water
Forty acres of wet, splashy fun await you at White Water, one of the largest water parks in the South. Its star attraction is the $1-million Tree House Island, a four-story fantasy treehouse with over 100 different activities -- curvy slides, net bridges, water cannons, chutes, and more. A 1,000-gallon bucket of water empties over the whole attraction every few minutes. Other park highlights include Cliffhanger, a 990-foot free fall (one of the tallest such attractions in the world); the 735-foot Run-A-Way River, an enclosed tunnel raft ride; the "Atlanta Ocean," a 750,000-gallon wave pool; and a host of different slide and splash experiences. There's much more, including a special section for children 48 inches and under called Little Squirt's Island, offering 25 tot-size water attractions. Adjacent Captain Kid's Cove has dozens of additional activities for kids age 12 and under. Restaurants and snack bars are on the premises, as are rental lockers and shower facilities. Swimsuits are essential.Next to White Water is American Adventures (tel. 770/424-9283), an indoor/outdoor family amusement park featuring children's rides in the Fun Forest (bumper cars, a small roller coaster, a tilt-a-whirl, and others); a classic carousel; a go-cart track; a penny arcade with over 130 games; Professor Plinker's Laboratory -- a large children's play area with ball crawls and nets to climb; 18-hole miniature golf; and the Foam Factory, a huge, multilevel interactive play area featuring scads of foam ball activities. It's all geared to children age 12 and under. A family-style restaurant is on the grounds. Admission to American Adventures is $15 plus tax for children 36 inches and up, $5 plus tax for adults and children age 3 and under. If you just want to visit the Foam Factory, admission is $3 for parents and children age 3 and under, $6 for children ages 4 to 17. The park is operated seasonally. Call for open dates and hours.

Should be called a Hotel
Anonymous, Philadelphia, PA
Days Inn Atlanta Northwest was the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. I've stayed at Days Inn downtown toronto, and I had a good experience. I was in Atlanta for a job interview. All I asked for was a clean room, clean sheets and shower. This hotel did not have any of the above. First, the room smells, the sheets are dirty and running water was brown to begin with.There was no iron. The service at the front desk was horrible. This was my worst experience by far. This hotel should get a negative rating (ie -5) if there was such rating.
I refused to stay and booked elsewhere
Denise, Newark, NJ
It was dirty and smelled and the area was very unsafe.
Low price, fair deal
John, New York, NY
The good: The Days Inn is a short ride from downtown, and very reasonably priced. The Waffle House provides a convenient source for eating, and there are several other restaurants across the street with other options. The bed was comfortable. The bad: However, it is close to the Interstate and has noise issues as a result. While I didn't notice it until the next morning, it is also adjacent to a strip club. Also, the bathtub faucet leaked and the bathroom could have been cleaner. Conclusion: If you're tight on bucks, this can be a good bet. If you have the bucks, go more upscale.

theres a waffle house right in front of the hotel.
It was a very small bed but it was heaven, as were the pillows so plushy, and they didnt use those little cheap sheets with the crappy comforter, it had a nice warm soft blanket, the shower didnt look that appealing really it was old looking but that shower head is fabulous wasnt one of those kind where it just trinkles out or nothing, so for the money i payed it was a great deal to be sitting right next to down town atlanta, once you get past the looks of the place its really quite cozy but it is an older hotel with older commodities and what not, but the place is nice, as for the staff they are kind of rude there but i am a small town country girl so it could just be the change of the atmosphere from city slicker to country bumpkin

Waffle House is located right on the property so this is a plus!
The room was nice. My stay was nice as well. The only thing that was frustarting was the wireless connection. It made me relocate to another location because the connection is not good at all. Other than that the hotel is nice.
Not felt friendly

When I first left the place I thought it should be shut down. But got to thinking and it really was the desk help. The trouble was, could not get the room key to work. I tried 4 times. Food, the Waffle House there was quite good. Good staff there. Little plumbing drainage problem, But....
