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.

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.

Georgia State Capitol
It wasn't until after the Civil War (1868) that Atlanta became, once and for all, the state capital; its present capitol building, completed July 4, 1889, was hailed as a testament to the city's recovery. Modeled after the nation's Capitol, another neoclassical edifice atop a "crowning hill," its 75-foot dome, covered in gold leaf and topped by a Statue of Freedom, is a major Atlanta landmark. The building is fronted by a massive four-story portico with a pediment supported by six Corinthian columns set on large stone piers. In the rotunda, with its soaring 237-foot ceiling, are busts of famous Georgians, including signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The governor's office is off the main hall. The capitol building's public spaces are currently being restored to their 1889 grandeur.Grand staircases in both wings rise to the third floor, where you'll enter the House of Representatives, and, across the hall, the Senate chambers. The legislature meets for 40 days, beginning the second Monday in January (it can also be called into special sessions); all of its sessions are open to the public. The fourth floor houses legislative galleries and the Georgia Capitol Museum, with exhibits on cotton, peach, and peanut growing; cases of mounted birds, fish, deer, insects, and other species native to Georgia; rocks and minerals; American Indian artifacts; and more. Note, too, the museum displays on the first floor.Tours begin on the main floor, and this level also serves as an information center for city and state attractions. The tours take 60 to 90 minutes; allow at least another 30 minutes to browse around on your own after the tour. Highlights of the grounds are detailed in a brochure available at the tour desk. Note: For security reasons, your bag will be searched when you enter.If you're visiting in December or January, take note of two special treats: A beautifully decorated 40-foot tree adorns the rotunda at Christmas, and on January 15, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, there's a memorial program featuring speeches by local dignitaries, including the governor.

Near the Phillips Arena

This is a very difficult hotel to find. You have to park two blocks away and it costs $15.00 to do so. The bathroom was pathetic and very small but the size of the room was very large. I have been in worst hotels but for the price it was not worth it.

The Super 8 Hotel was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in there was mold all over the walls the bathroom sink was falling off the bath tub was pieced togther without any caulking. I tried to be out of the room as much as possible. It is located in a tourist area you would think that they would renovated to compete with other hotels that are very nice in that area. Let just say I will never stay there again

poor customer service

Jeremiah, Rochester, NY, 2006-10-08

It's not just that, when I awoke the first morning, I discovered that there were no towels in my bathroom. And it's not just that I had to call down to the front desk more than once to let someone know there was a problem. The biggest issue was that the attitudes of all the employees I dealt with in this matter was incomparably rude. Initially they told me it would be a few minutes, then 15mins later they said that housekeeping would be coming in, then I was told that, essentialy, they didn't have time to deal with me. Then I was told it would be another three hours, before one employee (me having walked down to the front desk in my night-clothes) walked 15 feet and unlocked a door to reveal a trove of towels. Never was there an apology for the oversight, or any offer of remuneration. Not only would I not recommend this hotel, but I would not recommend any Super8 if that is they way they treat their guests.

Very customer friendly

Mario, Syracuse, NY, 2006-09-30

Very nice parks close to the hotel, as well as nice restarants and cafes. You have the Hard Rock Cafe close by as well as some other non-chain restaurants.

The Super 8 Hotel in Atlanta/World Congress Center is very close to fun night activities, the CNN center and the World Congress center, making it ideal for business travelers as well as leisure travelers. The room was very clean, comfortable, and with a nice view of downtown Atlanta. Highly recommended.

Low rent hotel

Anonymous, New York, NY, 2006-07-16

Typical low quality American Hotel. We have allowed poorly operated hotels to exist here. Super * parent group is careless to customer satisfaction juat as long as their franchisees pay the monthly bill. Keep counting your dollars guys- someone will eventually eat your lunch.

Have very low expectations of this place

Anonymous, Oakland, CA, 2006-05-22

Carpets are old and musky. The first room they put me in is small. The bathroom's wallpaper was peeling off - revealing the ugly underside. The bathroom itself is tiny, with the toilet cramped into a space normally a part of counter-top next to the wash-basin. Definitely don't expect any view from this place. The included continental breakfast is OK. The elevators are small but clean enough. The only advantage of this place is its proximity to the World Congress, Olympic Park, Peachtree Ave, Marta etc. But there are also plenty of other places that have all of above as well, as a stroll in neighborhood would reveal. My point is - DON'T expect that this is just a budget hotel without amenities, but yet clean and acceptable. I believe it is not!

Very tight accommadations

The underground and the aquarium.

The room that my wife and I shared was very small. The room was probably 18 X 10 and had a king size bed, TV hutch, desk w/chair, couch and cocktale table. We felt very cramped in this space. The hotel personel was very friendly and helpful and it was clean.

Marietta, San Diego, CA, 2006-04-23

It is in downtown Atlanta, close to other fine hotels. My suggestion, stay in one of them and avoid this place.

Did not stay at the hotel. It is not at all what I expected. Hotel rooms are extremely small and over priced. When you open the room to the door, the bed was right there. The bathroom was tiny and dirty. Don't recall even seeing a chair. There was a T.V. or so I believe. I was in shock when I seen the room. Not to mention that I became ill, I have asthma and I have not had problems for quite some time. The longer I stayed on the premesis, the more ill I felt. the front desk clerk did not care to listen. There is evidence of mold throughout, also there was this fowl stinch. It is a very out dated place and should not be recommended to anyone. The parking garage they over is about two blocks away and they did not even have a cart for you to load luggage on. This place is more like a place you would see in a movie, where people go you would not want to associate with. I should have taken pictures of it, but like I stated, I was in shock. The front desk clerk was very rude and unfriendly. I had to find a hotel on my own in the late evening (which I did not get in until about 11pm), this is after have been up all night long the night before. I would not even allow my dog to stay there. Believe, I have done a lot of traveling, stayed in a lot of places five star hotels and less, but never in my life anything like this. I was very, very disappointed.

Super 8 Atlanta nota great hotel

Anonymous, 2006-02-26

Ted Turner's Montana Roadhouse is a great retaurant with friendly service located 1 block south of the hotel.

Super 8 Atlanta could have beena little better for the money. The sink in the bathroom leaked, flooding the floor, the light came on after 5 minutes and the drain in the bath tub was severely clogged! While the room was relatively comfortable, upkeep was the major issue!
