3. World of Coca-Cola
Make your way to World of Coca-Cola, where guests will be
greeted with cans of New Coke – the actual recipe from 1985 – which made an epic, limited-time return this summer. World of Coke
is the refreshing break you need from the Atlanta heat with more than 100 drinks to sample from around the world.
