Stone Mountain
A natural wonder that has been beautifully integrated and blended with human creativity and innovation. The rock mountain in Georgia has by far one of the largest granite depositions that cover an extensive earth coverage of 7.5 billion cubic feet. This granite has over time been shaped with weather elements to unique shapes. To complement this activities have been introduced to keep the whole place active and abuzz with activity that include; cable rides to the mountain, train rides, river boat rides, a movie theater and interactive games, to keep the adrenaline flowing and giving you no chance to get bored.

World of Coca Cola
This is by far the one of the few places in the world that has such a big memorabilia of the past and foundation of the biggest soft drink brand name in the world. Apart from the impressive sculpture one gets to see the history of where the idea all me from and the struggles the company started from the three story high museum is undeniably made irresistible not by the self-guided tour through the pop culture gallery but by the 60 different coke products that one gets to see and taste. On top of this one gets to see movies in the 4D theater movie hall, taking the whole experience to another level.

Little White House
The little cottage holds one of the best and saddest memories of former US President Franklin Roosevelt. Known for having come here to spend time from Washington and all the political drama, he had hoped that the peace and healing water from spring will cure him from polio. An unfinished portrait of him stands in the cottage together with his dog leash and other memorabilia of his presidency.

6th Cavalry Museum
A place to visit especially if one is intrigued about the past wars and accomplishment. It is in this museum that the story of the fighting six comes to life and takes form. Stationed at fort Oglethorpe, the museum features uniform and 19th century weapons, photos and exhibits showing the regime of civil war and World War 1 war. One gets to have a self-guided tour and gets to spot copra gunship helicopter and the Patton tank which are a rare sight.
