The Coca Cola Factory

Hey there!

Yesterday, we went to The Coca Cola Factory, which is located in Pemberton Place in downtown Atlanta. Actually, it was an impromptu visit. My son, Atulya, wanted to go to Georgia Aquarium to see the fishes, turtles, and crocodiles. We began from home around lunch time thinking we will reach the aquarium in 30 minutes. What actually should have taken not more than 30 minutes, it took us nearly 2 hours! And why? There was some soccer game in a stadium located next to the aquarium. We lost precious time. Nevertheless, we reached around 3:15 PM and we rushed inside the aquarium with Atulya. By the time it was 5 PM, the aquarium had to close down. We came out and while going towards the parking lot, Atulya wanted to touch the Christmas tree. While touching the tree, I saw that the aquarium and The Coca Cola Factory are interconnected. And since my husband had wanted to visit this place with us, I asked him if he wants to go. He was kind of upset - it's too late, it must have already closed down, leave it. And while he was saying all this, my attention was towards the ticket counter, which was at quite a distance, of The Coca Cola Factory. Seeing few visitors buying tickets, I ran towards the counter leaving my son and husband to follow me. And imagine what! I managed to buy the tickets - we were among the last few visitors to be admitted. (The saying, 'where there's will, there's a way', came true here).

Enough of all this. At the World of Coca‑Cola you can experience the fascinating story of the world’s most famous beverage brand. There is this vault, which supposedly contains the secret recipe to the beverage, there are so many artifacts related to Coca Cola, and much more. And if you are a fan of soft drinks - specially the Coca Cola products, you can tempt your taste buds with more than 100 beverages from around the globe.













The best part of the visit? My son enjoyed playing with the polar bear there - this was a person dressed as a polar bear. Atulya kept saying to the bear, "Hello bear". And loving him on his cheek.



And my husband being a fan of Coca Cola products, loved this place too!

Visit this place if you are visiting Atlanta sometime!
