Spend three days in the Gate City of the South, Atlanta, Georgia
Upon arrival in Atlanta, you will meet your Tour Manager and head to your first stop. Your trip will begin with a visit to Martin Luther King, Jr.’s childhood home. This is the house where he was born. You’ll hear his story, see where he played as a child, walk in his footsteps and hear his voice in the church where he moved hearts and minds.
Next, you’ll have an exciting one hour guided tour of the Chick Fil A headquarters. You’ll hear the story of found Truett Cathy and the dream behind the restaurant.
You’ll head to your hotel for the evening looking to the exciting days ahead.
This morning you’ll take the Inside CNN VIP Tour for an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience with expanded access to the working studios at the Global Headquarters of CNN Worldwide!
Next, you’ll visit the Georgia Aquarium. The Georgia Aquarium houses 120,000 animals, representing 500 species, in 8.5 million US gallons of marine and fresh water. Opened in 2005, it is the world’s largest aquarium and the only institution outside of Asia to house whale sharks. You’ll also see a Special Exhibit.
You then will walk through Centennial Park, the site of the 1996 Olympic ceremony.
This afternoon, you’ll visit The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, a museum dedicated to the achievements of both the civil rights movement in the United States and the broader worldwide human rights movement. The Center hosts a number of exhibitions, both permanent and temporary, that tell the history of the civil rights movement in the United States and how that period is related to contemporary human rights struggles around the world.
You will end your visit in Atlanta with a trip to the World of Coca-Cola. Here you’ll see the fully-functioning bottling line, view more than 1,200 never-before displayed artifacts, share a hug with a 7 foot tall Polar Bear and more!
