One of the things that makes Atlanta such a great city is there is absolutely no shortage of things to do. This is particularly the case on rainy days, or those spring days when the pollen is causing your allergies to go haywire.
With a plethora of indoor activities available, it might be hard to pick just the right one. Here are three of the most popular indoor activities to explore in Atlanta.
-
World of Coca-Cola
A fascinating look at a slice of Americana awaits at the World of Coca-Cola, the official museum of the soft drink manufacturer. You’ll enjoy checking out artifacts from history detailing the rise of the soda’s popularity, including historical ads and photos. You’ll even get a chance to peek into the Secret Formula vault.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the tour is the tasting room, where you can not only whip up a recipe all of your own and taste it on the spot, but over 100 different Coca-Cola products from around the world — many of which are not available here in the States — are waiting to be tasted and discussed.
Once your tour is finished, make sure to stop by the gift shop for cool Coke memorabilia. It’s a visit you won’t soon forget.

College Football Hall of Fame
Imagine a 95,000-square-foot shrine to all that is great about college football. In Atlanta, that’s the College Football of Hall of Fame. If you’re a sports fan, this is an absolute must-see. Take a trip down memory lane with the players and coaches who have made football Saturdays such a tremendous event across the country.
The Hall of Fame isn’t just a museum — it’s an experience. With over 50 interactive exhibits, you’ll feel like you are part of the action. Did we mention the 45-yard indoor football field? This museum incorporates the latest technology, so you won’t be passively enjoying the exhibits — you’ll be immersed in them!
For even more sports action, pair your trip to the Hall of Fame with a tour of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL and Atlanta United of MLS. Better yet, why not catch a game while you’re here? Atlanta has so many ways to get involved as a sports fan, whether you’re cheering for Falcons or Yellow Jackets.

The Georgia Aquarium
One of the largest aquariums in the world and filled with 10 million gallons of fresh and saltwater fish, the Georgia Aquarium is a must-see, rainy day or not. Over 100,000 animals call the Aquarium home, so whether you are interested in bottlenose dolphins, California sea lions, or whale sharks, you’ll find them at this facility. The aquarium also offers classes for schools and families so you can get a hands-on experience during your visit.
