Totally Atlanta Activities
World of Coca-Cola

Adults, $16; ages 3-12, $12; younger than 3, free. 121 Baker St., Atlanta; 404-676-5151; worldofcoca-cola.com
The Varsity
Each day, two miles of hot dogs, a ton of onions and 300 gallons of chili are made from scratch at Atlanta’s own drive in. It’s an experience your children will not forget, and will soon have them yelling “One naked dog walking, mom!” 61 North Ave., Atlanta; 404-881-1706.
The Big Chicken
Located at the intersection of Cobb Parkway and Roswell Road, the Big Chicken stands in front of a Kentucky Fried Chicken. It was constructed in 1956 and underwent a renovation in 2017. A local Marietta landmark, the 56-foot-tall steel bird cannot be missed. 12 Cobb Pkwy N., Marietta; 770-422-4716.
