    Default Things to see in ATL

    What are some of the cool places to go? Are there any nice car/bike showrooms, museums, etc? Planning on the aquarium, and trying to find a few other places to check out.

    World of Coke is cool. You can go to the visitors center at Underground and ask to speak with Mary Ann. Tell her Tracy sent you. She can tell you everything!!!!! AND they usually have coupons there.

    Eating at the Sundial is cool. It's in the Westin downtown. Expensive, but an amazing view of the city....oh and the whole restaurant spins!

    I went there for my HS prom in 2001. Over priced is the word. The portions were small, and the food was no better than a lean cuisine TV dinner.

    The view is freaking great though.

    lol might just order some water and enjoy the view then. I forgot about the woc, deff going there. I was in alaska for most of this summer with a friend of mine, and all the things to do and places to go up there were awesome, then we realized we had never even done half the stuff to do in atlanta, much less georgia.

    I've only had champagne up there. I figured the food would be small and lame. Most places like that are to me. I want more than a carrot and a sirloin for $185, but the view is so amazing. The elevator is fun after the champagne too

    stone mountain, the botanical gardens are also pretty cool places.

    as for the sundial, the food is a bit overrated although the view is awesome. my recommendation, go eat elsewhere but hit up the bar there to enjoy the scenery.
