Zoo Atlanta
Just because you’re in a big city doesn’t mean that you can’t go wild! For the best wildlife that Atlanta has to offer, you should definitely stop by Zoo Atlanta. This marvelous zoological park has enough attractions to keep anyone, young and old alike, entertained. The most prominent attraction that you can find here are the pandas, of course.
Zoo Atlanta is one of only four zoos in the United States to house giant pandas, making the exhibit a rare one indeed. For those visiting with little ones, there are two parks so that they can play while the grown-ups get a rest.
The Georgia Aquarium
Want to see wildlife but with a splash? If you’re looking for scaly—not furry—friends, then the Georgia Aquarium is the destination for you. This aquarium is one of the best in the country and houses its animals in a massive 10 million gallon saltwater aquarium. You can see anything from small, flitting fish, to the massive but gentle whale shark.
And, it doesn’t stop at that. You can see beluga whales and dolphins as well. This makes a great outing that is bound to be a delight to anyone and everyone, especially those who like the residents of the sea.
SunTrust Park
Want to head out to the ball game? Want some peanuts and crackerjacks? Then, you should head out to SunTrust Park and catch a game. This baseball park is the home of the Atlanta Braves, and you can be sure to find people root, root, rooting for the home team if you watch a game here. This park is just ten miles northwest of downtown Atlanta, making it a fairly easy journey for those who are anxious to catch America’s pastime in fast-paced action.
