The World of Coke
In 1886 Jacob's Pharmacy began selling a new tonic said to cure headaches and hangovers. In 1891 Asa Candler paid $2,300 for the rights to Coca-Cola, and the next year he founded the Coca-Cola Company. Now over 100 years later you can tour the museum of Coke. Served in over 60 countries around the world, only at the World of Coke can you taste each one. The location also has the '4-D' Happiness Factory theater (a 3-D movie with moving seats) and a bottling plant on site that produces a one of a kind bottle of coke for visitors. General Admission is $10 for children 3 to 12 and $15 for adults. A good day of Atlanta entertainment for kids.

Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta
This downtown attraction has great activities for kids while in Atlanta. The Children's Museum offers crafts, activities, and games that promote learning while having fun. While touring the museum you may run into the Imaginators, a group of actors that perform mini-musicals that involve the audience. The museum offers space even for the littlest adventurer with a toddler padded crawl space, and blocks and tunnels for the early walkers. With numerous ever changing exhibits such as Fundamentally Food, an exhibit that demonstrates how food goes from the farm to the grocery store, the kids won't even know they're learning. General Admission is $12.50 for everyone over the age of 2, and groups of 10 or more can get discounted tickets with advance reservations.
