    Highly engaging and educational, every black (and White person really) should visit. Very easy to find and adequate street parking.

The website did not make that clear. Lucky enough, the young lady gave me a sticker, normally given to members for validation parking. She told me I was not the only one who had done the same. Besides that, such a wonderful experience! I love the crisp white and architectural look of there building. The courtyard had cute seating. The entry was very open and spacious. They do offer a coat check, had a cute little café style area off to the side, and there gift shop was everything! Get a taste of some nice art pieces in there lobby. Each staff member that I came in contact with, from the beginning to the end was so nice and helpful. And there's nothing greater than a clean restroom...WIN! I had the opportunity to catch the Viktor & Rolf exhibit. I'm a fashion lover girlie and this was, such a joy of a time for me! I did get turned around a little trying to locate the exhibit... but when I did, the elevator doors opened and boom... the art in fashion slapped me in my face(lol). They did a awesome job and recommend, if it returns or has a showing in another city go see it.

One of the things I appreciated most was learning more about the Freedom Riders, activists who rode buses through the South to challenge segregation laws and faced a lot of violence for it. I realized there was so much about the civil rights movement that I didn't know, and this museum really brought those stories to life. My favorite part was an interactive exhibit where you sit at a diner counter and experience what it was like from the point of view of a Black person during that time. You hear white men behind you yelling racist slurs, threatening you, and telling you to leave, and then you hear fighting and violence happening right behind you. It felt very real. It was really heavy and emotional, honestly hard to sit through, but it stuck with me the most. Overall, I loved it. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend going. It's powerful, educational, and something everyone should experience at least once.

    The Super Bloom at the Atlanta Botanical Garden was such a beautiful sight and happy I got to see…read moreit. Tickets run about $26.95 for standard adult admission, with slight variations depending on the day and if purchased online or in person. Given the sheer scale of the grounds, it feels like a fair value. I went on a weekday, which I highly recommend. Parking is incredibly straightforward, you park right on-site at the SAGE Parking Facility. It starts at $3 per hour, but keep in mind that the garage is entirely cashless, so you will need a card. Also if there is an event at Piedmont Park, parking may be impacted. Check-in was quick, and while there were visitors, it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The entire experience flowed smoothly from start to finish. This is perfect for a solo adventure. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary with the Super Bloom display, and it showed. There were over 200,000 tulips and spring bulbs throughout the garden. When I reached the Great Lawn, it opened up into a full sea of color. The visual texture of so many layered, vibrant petals blooming all at once was stunning. Each section felt different. One moment I was surrounded by vibrant florals, the next I was walking through lush greenery that felt almost like a rainforest and the air was so clean. It naturally slowed me down in the best way. The Orchid Daze exhibit was a highlight for me. It was calm, lightly fragrant, and tucked away enough to feel like a quiet escape. I ended up staying longer than expected. It would have been nice, if they had more dedicated seating areas. There weren't many spaces designed for just sitting and being, closer to the flowers especially if you wanted to relax without being in the middle of foot traffic. The grounds were clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. There were also great spots for photography, I saw everything from casual photos to full-on portrait sessions. On-site Dining If you plan to stay for a while there is a restaurant on-site, which is convenient. The menu was simple, light bites, sandwiches, and seasonal options. Pricing was about what you'd expect for a major attraction, averaging around $25 to $40 per person for a casual lunch. Overall: A way to slow down and take things in. Peaceful, beautiful, and worth the visit. I'm already curious to see how it will transform for summer.

    My experience at this botanical garden was pretty mid. Not worth the $35 paid in my opinion…read more The garden overall was pretty neat and clean. A good place to walk around. However, the variety of plants and exhibits weren't very impressive. It was also disappointing to see the lady flower landmark not fully ingrained with flowers around late April. The most impressive part to me were the greenhouse plant exhibits. There was a good variety of plants there from different corners of the world. The outdoor exhibits were just not that interesting. Parking is an additional charge, so my friend and I did free street parking nearby and just walked to the entrance. They also have a couple food options within the gardens. My friend and I got some popsicles for $5 which was nice since it was pretty humid at the time we went. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend, but I didn't have a terrible time here.

We knew…read morethere would be lots of children (even on a Tuesday), but I just kept reminding myself that it was great to see kids getting excited about nature. It was a mostly good experience, but our appreciation of the amazing animals was really compromised by several things: 1. The aggressive marketing for Margaritaville (the dolphin show sponsor). Throughout our experience, we were approached by people representing this company - often sort of disguised as aquarium guides. By the time we got to the dolphin show, we had just had too much... then when we walked out of the theater, we really wanted to go over and see the spoonbills, but we were MOBBED by Margaritaville people. We literally ran away from them, almost screaming. After paying over $50 for a ticket, we really did not appreciate this at all. 2. The OUTRAGEOUS prices for on-site food. You order on a kiosk in a cafeteria setting. We were hungry, but we just could not bring ourselves to spend that kind of money on mediocre food and drinks. 3. My criticism of the aquarium after its grand opening still stands: there is just not enough information about the animals in the tanks. In many cases there's just one sign identifying one species, or screens showing slides of some of the species. And there are often docents hanging around who can answer questions. But I always really want to know more about ALL the species in a given tank, and I've never been sure why that information is not more readily available. Aside from things like this, it's a great place to see beautiful animals.

Loads of photogenic spots to get great ig shots!! It's too busy to really sit and read the cool facts in the secret recipe section but regardless it was fun to check out. They do a nice introduction before you go into the museum and play a movie to warm you up wich I found touching and a great way to welcome you into the Coca Cola world! There is a cool sniff exhibit where you test your sense of smell and another where you write letters to coke! The gift shop is overflowing with all sorts of things to bring home to remember your time! Photos there are expensive. Is this a must do in Atlanta? Sort of.

It's a shrine to unchecked capitalism and leans into imperialism (the net effects of Coca-Cola throughout the world are... not great. The literal world). The propaganda that makes up 50-70% of the museum is Orwellian in its hypnotic suggestive effect. I know this. I know all of this. My left-wing principles cried out to experience what I claim to despise. But. BUT. BUT!!! All that goes out the window when you're faced with all-you-can-drink Coca-Cola products from around the world. Maybe those initial addictive* ingredients are still a part of the secret recipe. Maybe there's something about the smell/sound/sight/fizz/taste that lights up ones lizard brain and won't be satisfied with anything other than a distended belly full of sugary corn syrup. Perhaps nostalgia can override cognition. Who knows. All I know is that when I got to the end of the tour and saw station after station of brown, black, red, purple, blue (!) liquid and knew that the only limit to my gluttony was the capacity of my human body... something... broke? I had to try them all. Pokemon had nothing on me. And a taste wouldn't do. Not even if I didn't care for it... not even if I had had it before (somehow, somewhere)... I needed a cup. A full cup. Berries. Apples. Ginger. Florals. Appertifs. Genuinely horrible tasting stuff. I.Had.It.All. and I wanted -- no -- I demanded more. (Point of order: I can fully attest to the bad decisions I made (I regret nothing) but I'm a grown-a$$ man. To the parents bringing your kids in here to run around, get hopped up on God knows what and begin a descent into altered brain patterns that will show themselves more clearly in the years to come... shame on you. What are you thinking? There needs to be a test prior to parenthood.) Long story/review short: 'Taste It' will change your life and become the only leg you'll need to stand on. Man, I'm thirsty. It's Pavlovian, y'all. I done been changed! *You know what I'm talking about.
