So about 11 months from now I'll be in Atlanta, Georgia for a conference. My girlfriend and I are going to be arriving a day early, and staying a day late. Besides the obvious tourist-type places (looking at you, World of Coke), does SEN know of places to visit or things we "haVe to do" within a roughly 25 mile radius of Atlanta?

Note: I'll be driving from the north, so I'm willing to drive further north and catch places on the way up moreso than heading further south. Think of it as sorta egg-shaped.

if you're coming through the northeast, go through the blue ridge parkway.

I've heard Atlanta has the world's largest aquarium.

I suppose I shouldve given some background, I live around Cincinnati. I'll be taking I-75 most of the way, unless I detour around in Tennessee for a bit to see the mountains (so I could very well end up coming from the northeast anyway). My hotel is in Buckhead; a coworker gave advice on where I should get my hotel, and both the hotel and convention center are near enough to a subway that I'd rather walk and take the subway than drive.

Hmm, thanks, worth looking in to.

Edit: $32 per person, with a $7 discount if I order online and arrive within the first hour of operation...so either $50 or $64....

Things to do in and around Atlanta?
