Here are 10 other sights to visit while in Atlanta:

1. Centennial Olympic Park
Honoring the 1996 Olympics that were held in Atlanta, this expansive park offers a quiet oasis in the middle of bustling Downtown Atlanta, though the park can become a beehive of activity, as many special events and concerts are held here. For a fun, free way to entertain the kids, let them play in the fountains.

2. World of Coca-Cola
Another kid-friendly attraction in Atlanta, this museum dedicated to the world's favorite beverage is interesting for the whole family. Learn a bit about the history of Coca-Cola, which was developed in Atlanta, then taste various formulas of the soda from all over the world in the tasting room. In 2007, the new World of Coca-Cola moved to its new, expanded home adjacent to the Georgia Aquarium.

3. The King Center
The King Center is educational and inspirational for the whole family, especially teenagers and other young people looking for guidance or a path in life. There are many interactive exhibits that illustrate the beloved community that Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned and how that dream can still become a reality.

4. Underground Atlanta
Some people think the Underground is a tourist trap, but the below street level shopping mall and entertainment facility is undergoing a makeover, which the city hopes will turn the Underground into a world-class entertainment district. In the meantime, this is the place to buy your Atlanta souvenirs. There are also festivals that go on during the spring and summer months.

5. CNN Center
Television news is something we take for granted, but it's interesting to get a "behind the scenes" peek at the frenzied world of television journalism with the CNN Studio tour. Pre-teens and teenagers can gain insight into the world of broadcast journalism, and decide if it is a career they are interested in pursuing. Reservations are highly recommended for the tour.

6. Atlanta Botanical Garden
The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a beautiful exhibit of nature's glory, right in the heart of the city. A walk through the garden is a great stress reliever. There are always special events going on, including unique flowers, summer concerts, romantic jazz nights, and children's activities.

7. Stone Mountain Park
One of Atlanta's most recognizable tourist attractions, this huge monument to the confederacy covers 25 million square feet and rises 825 feet above the surrounding area, carved with the likeness of three confederate heroes. There is plenty to see and do, including the ever-popular laser show, holiday events, hiking, boating, fishing, and souvenir shopping.

8. Margaret Mitchell House
For literary lovers and Gone With the Wind fans, this attraction can't be missed. The house where author Margaret Mitchell resided now houses memorabilia from the famed author's career, and also serves as a literary center for living Southern authors. Special author readings and creative writing courses are held at the center.

9. Georgia Aquarium
The Georgia Aquarium has quickly become one of Atlanta's premier tourist attractions. From the beluga whales to the whale sharks and other creatures of the deep, the Georgia Aquarium is a world-class facility located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta.

10. Turner Field

Get a chance to see the press box, the clubhouse, the dugout, a luxury suite, and the broadcast booth. Don't miss the Braves Museum and Hall of Fame.

The "Capital of the New South," Atlanta is a city celebrating change and growth. Though a fascinating history keeps locals and visitors looking back, the modern, sophisticated city has no problem looking ahead. Its gracious, sprawling plantations inspired "Gone With the Wind," and while you can still find antebellum mansions and towering oaks draped with Spanish moss, you're just as likely to find multinational corporations and global banks. The headquarters of companies like CNN and Coca-Cola. With one of the busiest airports in the world, Atlanta offers visitors numerous shops, restaurants and nightlife pursuits to suit every taste. Diversity is the name of the game in this city, the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the home of Braves baseball. Its cultural experiences come in all shapes, sizes and sounds. Still surging since rising from the ashes after the Civil War, Atlanta has shown an ability to adapt and prosper, and that forward-driving spirit continues unabated today.

Frankly, we're being frank. Rhett, Scarlett, and Tara, the white-columned plantation, are merely fictional creations of "Gone with the Wind" author Margaret Mitchell. Even so, visitors look forward to touring the modest home where Mitchell wrote the Civil War saga (Peachtree and 10th Street). The book has sold more than 28 million copies and is the best-selling novel of all time. The movie, which premiered in Atlanta in 1939, won ten Academy awards.
