I couldn’t possibly visit Atlanta without checking out the World of Coca-Cola. The staff was friendly and generally cheerful which made for a great first impression. It was quite busy during my visit so I couldn’t experience all the spaces. I would recommend to allow sufficient time and to pack your patience to make the most of all the wonderful attractions. I particularly enjoyed the 3D theater and the opportunity to taste the mind blowing variety of beverages made by the company.
We had an overall okay experience at the World of Coke. There are a lot of cool pieces of the company’s history, which is cool to see. I wasn’t a fan of how long it takes to actually enter the exhibit area. You have to go through a ~10 minute tour to look at all these older pieces. You’re then taken into a theater to watch a 6-minute film about Coke and happiness. Upon entering the museum, we were under the impression it would be self-guided, but the vault exhibit had a tour along with it too. The tasting section was pretty awesome, with five fountain stations containing ~8 flavors each.
While visiting Atlanta, you must go to the Coca Cola factory. You get to see and learn the ins and outs of one of the world’s most famous soda brands. The museum has five different parts and it is broken up between two floors. My favorite part of the world of Coca-Cola was the scent section and the tasting section. In both of these sections were the most people because it is the most interactive part of the museum in my opinion. With the scent section, you are in a room with museum guide who combines different smells of different flavors for everyone to guess the scent. It was really fun how all of us was yelling out different names of fruit and spices to guess the perfect flavor. The tasting section was my ultimate favorite, because you get to taste all the different types of Coca-Cola brand sodas around the world. You’re given a cup as you walk in and you get to go around to five different stations with multiple flavors. There was one flavor that tasted just like barbecue sauce lol. If you never been to the world of Coca-Cola, I suggest you make a trip there you will enjoy it.
It was pretty decent coming here and learning more about the company. We took our time looking at everything. I don’t usually drink soda but I did enjoy trying Coca Cola products from around the world. Admission was alright not expensive for one person. It was very crowded when we went, so it was hard to take pictures at times. We did not buy tickets in advance, didn’t have to.
Worth every penny. Had a great time. Although all the details will be available in the internet but listening to the guide about Coca-Cola is a different experience. It has two floors of exhibits where first floor has three and the second floor has four exhibits. But tasting all the drinks across different countries is the best part for me.
Me and my daughter had a blast here. I didn't really know what to expect going in and was blown away. The exhibits were both fun and informative about the history of Coca Cola. It was cool to see the journey of mixing different things to find the perfect recipe and the secrecy required to make sure it didn't get stolen. Really cool stuff. Highly recommend for a day with the family. Lots of other things to tag on since it's close to other recreational spots.
It’s like a Disney park, but for Coca Cola. Very well structured, they move large groups from one holding area to another. When you walk in, there is a very enthusiastic greeter, you’ll wait 15 minutes as the room fills, then move into another area to see memorabilia and listen to the very enthusiastic and funny greeter give you some history of the drink dating back to 1886, then move into a movie theater for a video of life moments and (of course) Coke. After that move into a two floor pavilion with exhibits, a 3-D film (good for kids) a tasting room and more.
All exhibit spaces, theaters, etc, are accessible, with ramps and an elevator. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
This morning (Monday in October) the crowd was small, and things moved right along. We can imagine that it gets very crowded during the summer/vacation times and may have longer waiting times. Photos with the polar bear and others where one can choose the background seem pricey at $25 a pop.
There’s a store, but we were disappointed that they didn’t have any Tab related merchandise. Tab was our drink. We miss it and wish it would return. We did get to taste it in the tasting room, but it’s just not the same as popping open a can of Tab.
Anyhow, there is parking everywhere. There is not much to see as far as shops and street life in this area.
