Anyone been? What are your thoughts? Any other fun, not too expensive things to do in Atlanta (besides the Coke museum and the CNN building which we have been to!)? Thanks!

I have been once. It's really nice, but the penguins are on "vacation" until 2010

I have been to the Aquarium. It's nice and all. There is also the Atlanta Zoo, Fernbank museum, Centennial Park, and I'm sure there are more just can't think of them.
I went to the Zoo a long time ago can't remember what it was like. I haven't been to Fernbank but have heard its really nice.

We loved the aquarium. They have dolphins coming next year! The zoo is also fun but to me, if you've been to alot of nice zoos then it's nothing really different. We really enjoyed Fernbank Musuem.
I've forgotten all the fun stuff we used to do there but I'll look back through our pictures and see what I come up with!

My FAVORITE thing to do in Georgia is the Cabbage Patch hospital.

It's a drive from Atlanta but it's absolutely gorgeous up in there. It's SOOOOO much fun! http://www.cabbagepatchkids.com/

I've been and I liked it. It was fun.

There's Stone Mountain, which is always slam packed full of people, but it's neat if ypu've never seen it (and they do the laser show at night). There's Six Flags, White Water, Atlanta Zoo, and Fernbank.

The Cabbage Patch hospital is called "Babyland General Hospital" and it's way far from Atlanta, and would not be worth the drive. It's in a small house and you walk through it in 15 minutes, and you either buy a doll at full-price or leave.

I LOVE fernbank and stone mountain. Also, if you are into hiking or the outdoors, there are lots of trails and whatnot around.

I am not in love with the aquarium - it's OK.
