They took the time to engage with guests, explain the exhibits, and make sure everyone was having fun.

Huge thanks to Laci and the team for creating such a memorable and entertaining experience. We can't wait to visit again! Aloha, Johnny

It did its job to entertain and be unique, but the cameras were fuzzy when taking our pics and the gift shop was so-so. There are bathrooms which are nice to have in there. I say it like that because it seemed too tiny to have any sadly not gender neutral.. in any case. I would say go here if you have nothing else to do, but once you been, that's kinda it.

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.

As a lover of museums, I just had to experience the Trap Music Museum. And what an experience . Now…read moreI've been to music museums before but this was different, especially with present day artists, most are still living and I am familiar with some of their music. I definitely learned a lot about the Atlanta and South music landscape. Could not leave without taking a picture of the famous pink car. Before leaving I also had the opportunity to do the escape room and baby that was an experience like none other. The entire experience includes a tour guide and he did not come to play with us. Lots of fun and puzzles to figure out. I am not sure if we made it out safely or not but I had a few good laughs. I would definitely recommend if you're into music and leaning about the culture.

The trap museum is a fun experience, but it does go by pretty quick. It is pricey in my opinion,…read morethe tickets are around $40 per person and when you arrive parking in the lot costs $20 (there isn't a lot of parking near by fyi). I enjoyed the artists' exhibits. They have all the cuts playing and the bar was the cherry on top for me, it was a vibe. They have food trucks in the back as well if you want to grab a bite to each during or after. I did not eat there though.

There's so much…read morehistory in here, from handwritten letters by Martin Luther King Jr. to powerful videos of his speeches, and exhibits that highlight stories like Emmett Till that really hit you emotionally. 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.

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.

When you purchase your tickets or the City Pass, you are able to make reservations for free on the day of your visit for tickets to these shows. You do not have to have tickets to attend the shows, but the people with tickets are the ones who are seated first. The aquarium has a beautiful variety of aquatic creatures to visit.

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.

Don't miss out the attraction of the virtual flight screen where you can pick your destination and see those places in a boarding experience. In the end you get to take photo and get a printed copy courtesy of the museum. You will pick that up in the shop. We thought we could get some souvenir of model plane. But in my opinion the prices are in the order of a first class tickets. There is also outer area with different planes and also the 747 that you can get to experiment inside and out. Overall a great spot to visit by if you are closer to the airport.

Entering the parking lot, you are greeted by two large planes and its tempting to stop and gawk but you'll have a chance to later. Mid-day Thursday, the museum was pretty empty so it was easy to look at and interact with all the exhibits. The first room plays a relatively quick video before opening up the the Legacy Hangar with a couple plans and a children's area. There is an interactive game for plane control signals that was fun! Moving on to the next space is a hall of different types and brands of planes that Delta uses or have used, neat to see them all in one place. The next hangar, Spirit Hangar, has a large B-767 plane, "The Spirit of Delta". Surrounding the plane is about destinations, delta luggage and uniforms through the year, acquisitions, and the flight simulator. It is cool to be able to be up close to such a large plane see the wheels and mechanisms underneath. Up on the mezzanine is where you go through a jet bridge and into the plane to see a little bit of what it was like and learn about the history of the plane. It is full of memorabilia that were fitting during the planes time. After the inside tour we went out to the 747 experience. About half of the aircraft seats are still in tact, and it is cool to interact with the various different types of cabins. There is a cut away of under the plane to see how it is constructed and various exhibits about the plane and moving it to the museum. Outside the plane you can walk up close and personal with the underside of the plane and other planes on site, including a DC-9, B-757, and DC-7B. It was a great spot to visit, the museum gift shop is stocked with a variety of Delta and aviation gifts and clothes. I would recommend to anyone with an aviation or Delta interest.
