Everything you should know before you book
Atlanta is an easy city with children: the Georgia Aquarium — one of the world's largest, with whale sharks and beluga whales — anchors a downtown cluster of family attractions, and Zoo Atlanta's giant pandas and gorillas are a short hop away in Grant Park. This list ranks the family favourites by review score so you can pick the ones that fit your kids' ages.
Buy timed tickets for the busy ones. The Georgia Aquarium sells timed entry and weekend afternoons are the most crowded of the week, so a dated weekday-morning slot saves a queue. Fun Spot America's rides and the indoor skydiving experience round out a day for older kids, and the Atlanta CityPASS bundles several of these at a discount.
