The World of Coca-Cola

I have always wanted to visit The World of Coca-Cola located in Atlanta, Georgia. Although I have not been able to go yet, I wanted to do a little research about this very unique place.

The "new" World of Coca-Cola opened in May of 2007. There are more than 1,200 artifacts from around the world that have never been seen before. They have a 4-D movie theater and gallery that is dedicated to Coke and pop culture. A bottling line fills bottles of Coke before visitors eyes. Last but not least, there is a chance to sample more than 60 different products from around the world.

It is located at Pemberton Place (along with the Georgia Aquarium and The Center for Civil and Human Rights) across from the Centennial Olympic Park. Pemberton Place was named after John Pemberton, the pharmacist who invented Coca-Cola in 1886.

It takes an average of 90 minutes to go through the entire World of Coca-Cola. It is open 7 days a week and it only closes on Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. General admission tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, $10 for children, and free for toddlers 2 and under.
