Georgia has a vast culture and rich history that predates European settlements. It’s hard to take it all in during one short visit, so it’s important to prioritize and plan out in advance which sights and activities are going to be the top picks. Here are some of the top Atlanta attractions and the rest of the state. If historical stops are on the agenda, there are plenty from Civil War, such as the Jefferson Davis Memorial Historic Site, from colonial times, such as Stone Mountain, and from Native American civilizations, such as the Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site. Culturally-minded visitors can also enjoy the arts at sites like the Georgia Museum of Art, the High Museum of Art, and the Springer Opera House. Families have options for vacations with kids, too. Those who like animals might want to check out the Georgia Aquarium and the Zoo Atlanta, which are within easy driving distance of one another. Another attraction in that area suitable for children is the World of Coke, a museum about the Coca-Cola company. For a change of pace, visitors might want to check out some of the local sports teams. There are plenty of minor league sports and even a few major league sports to choose from. The Braves represent Georgia in Major League Baseball, while the Falcons play in the National Football League, and the Hawks are in the National Basketball Association. For those who prefer being active themselves rather than passively watching a sport or looking at a museum, there are plenty of parks and other opportunities for recreation. There are hiking trails all over the state as well as opportunities for rock climbing, white water paddling, hunting, and fishing. Atlanta attractions also include Callaway Gardens and other beautiful resorts and places to golf.
