What travelers are saying
- Adriana MSyracuse, NY142 contributionsWe just so happened to be in town for the origami in the garden exhibit. The origami is cool but honestly, the gardens are the absolute star. We really enjoyed rambling around the different gardens, looking at flowers/plants we've never seen, and sitting in the shade among all the pretty trees. This is an oasis amid a big city. I cannot recommend it enough. A big highlight for us was the edible gardens and the giant turtle in the rotunda.Written May 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- kjoe16Sterling Heights, MI71 contributionsAbsolutely loved the experience. Everything was wonderful. Our favorites were the dolphin show, the shark exhibit, and the whale sharks!! We had so much fun! I wish we could have gone more than one day! I wished we lived closer! Would definitely go back one day if we can!Written May 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Dale LSt. Louis, Missouri, United States48 contributionsNot originally plannning on making a separate trip but discovered it during our bus tour of Atlanta. So much history, beautiful and emortional experience.Written May 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Debbie22 contributionsThis museum covered every aspect of Civil and Human Rights. Though some of the interactive aspects were not available due to COVID (picking up handsets to listen to audio) there was still enough audio, visual, and interactivity to convey information without being boring. We spent 2 hours there and still did not see everything. I would highly recommend.Written May 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Adriana MSyracuse, NY142 contributionsA total Gem! The grounds are very expansive with something for everyone including walking/biking trails, lake views, and athletic fields. A perfect place for a picnic or to layout with a book. We learned that they offer weekend markets, classes, volunteer opportunities, and tours. It seems like such a labor of love for those who work and recreate there. Very special!Written May 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Adrienne LCharlotte, NC6 contributionsBefore traveling to ATL for a weekend with our kids (3 & 6), we bought tickets without reading the reviews; and then regretted the purchase because so many reviews were off putting. We even thought about scrapping it and losing our money. But, our day plans left us with a gap and we decided to try it. So glad we did. It was great for young kids with no expectations and a blossoming appreciation of Legos. It is not Legoland like the parks in CA and FL, and if you’ve been to those, this will be a let down. But, it’s a fun 1-2 hours of Lego themed experiences with two rides, a building/race track area, a climbing area, a virtual reality experience and an awesome city display of Atlanta and the surrounding area. Our kids loved it. I’m glad we gave it a shot.Written May 1, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- 40states30countriesLos Angeles, CA65 contributionsI spent 6 hours here, including an hour in the cyclotron exhibit which included a live introduction followed by a video. The DuBose exhibit on the civil war is filled with artifacts collected by the DuBose family. Be sure to get the audio guide from the front desk. There is a very good short film about each year of the war.The Swan House is also on the grounds. This is an American palace built by the Inman family.Written May 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Catherine MNorfolk, VA52 contributionsWe enjoyed the time there. The guide was very knowledgeable. The artifacts were interesting and we got a few gifts to share.Written May 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Debbie MFort Walton Beach, FL182 contributionsVisited this venue for a Kenny Chesney concert. As an avid live music/concert fan I have been to many venues and this is by far the best stadium I have ever attended an event in. The entry was smooth with new state of the art steady walk though security scanners. Venue was adequately staffed and every staff member was friendly and helpful throughout the stadium. Bathrooms were clean and plentiful. Food variety was great. Great view from almost every seat and the roof is retractable while the building is occupied . We got to see it open while waiting for the main act to take the stage, that was very, very cool.Written May 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- kjoe16Sterling Heights, MI71 contributionsWe had a great time! The zoo had a lot of trees and the shade was much appreciated. I wish we had known about more the available experiences and timing. The zoo is quite large and we were able to see everything except the sloth (couldn’t find it) on our visit. I wish they had better food options. Overall, it was a really nice experience.Written May 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- aspoe093Pierre, SD336 contributionsReally cool place with a lot of interactive games and stations. Even played a little quaterback. There is fun for the whole family hereWritten April 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Claudette CWashington1,621 contributionsThis was our second trip to the ballpark and had a different experience this time. We had a clear plastic bag that we purchase & used in other MLB parks that was slightly larger than the bag dimensions but it was completely clear. The person at the gate was adamant that we could not go in with it. We tried explaining the scenario with the bag but he was more adamant about no. So we turned & starting to walk away and he told us “not to step away and put the plastic bag in our pocket” so we could get in.
Once we got into the park we headed towards our seats in xfinity section. Our seats were amazing and everyone we encountered in there was friendly and helpful. We also had a great interaction with Guest Services.Written May 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - triptixmomSandy Springs, GA40 contributionsWe have taken the ghost tour of the Fox Theater which I highly recommend for visitors and natives alike. Historical information presented in a fun fashion that all ages would enjoy. Interesting to see the "back of the house" and the inner workings.Written April 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Lynn REllicott City, MD151 contributionsIf you're in the area, seeing the work of Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter is worth the hour it takes to view the film and read through the artifacts.Written April 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- IRun2EatPhiladelphia, PA246 contributionsWe visited the rooftop on a Monday evening with our kids and it was one of the most memorable things we did in Atlanta. They loved playing mini golf and the other boardwalk games. They spent hours playing basketball trying to win stuffed donuts and pineapples as prizes. It allowed my wife and I a chance to sit down, have a few drinks, and check out the view of the city.Written April 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
