Title: World of Coca Cola
Post by: BONOVOX on November 03, 2012, 07:19:52 pm
Hey all
Planning a driving trip to visit my folks in Florida over the holidays, and the drive takes me thru Atlanta.
I was planning on spending a couple of days there just to sight see.
Can anyone tell me if the WORLD OF COKE place is a cool place to visit?
And... if you've been to Atlanta, is there another place you would recommend?

Thanks!

Ga Aquarium is right in the same area. You could also make a stop 50 miles north of Atlanta in Cartersville and see the first outdoor Coca-Cola painted billboard on the side of Young Brothers pharmacy.

If you stop in Cartersville eat at the 4-way.

Traffic is brutal in Alanta. Not quite Boston or Dallas but close. Watch for idiots and allow extra time. Enjoy your trip!!

      The World of Coke is great. Many pieces of original advertising etc. all displayed in the appropriate time settings.

It's a pretty neat place.  We went in July.  I went about 13 years ago and it was different now.  Lots of history and things to look at.
At the end you get to sample products from all over the world.  You won't leave thirsty!

Sign is 2 1/4 miles off interstate 75 exit 288.... After you cross the railroad tracks it's on the left...They also have some new coke collectibles for sale in the store.
