You will get a great tour of Coca-Cola history. However, the fun part is downstairs -- you can taste all Coke products, as much as you can hold, there are several bathrooms, too! :-;
Fun for all ages!!! Leave a Comment

It is a place to tour and see the history of the Coca Cola empire. They have done a good job of featuring the many items and takes your through the times form inception. We used to go the old "old" museum, and it was very nice. The new one is more modern and features more for everyone to see and films. Cost is $15 and $13 for adults. Tour is about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Open generally 9-5 Phone: (770) 578-4325 x. 1465Directions: Exit 249C Williams St and go west on Ivan Allen Blvd to park.Website: http://www.woccatlanta.com

A museum dedicated to Coca Cola. Coke was invented in Georgia, so it is a logical place for a museum dedicated to it. They have coke artifacts from the very beginning (it was invented in an Atlanta drugstore more than 100 years ago), before the distinctive-shaped bottles, even back to when the Coca stood for cocaine.
I didn't realize that until the 1930's coke was mixed in drugstores by soda jerks (they added an oz. of syrup, 5 oz. of water and some CO2 by jerking on various nozzles). Back then it paid to chum up to the soda jerk, because if he/she liked you, you might get some extra syrup!!!
All in all, I was disappointed. It was mostly just memorabilia and some advertising in film (they did have that ad I like - 'I'd like to sing in perfect harmony ...').
The best thing about the museum is that before you left, you could have your fill of all the soda pop you wanted - from over a hundred flavours. A lot of it lands up on the floor (lots of kids), don't wear your fancy shoes! Have you ever tasted pop tasting like green apples, lychee nuts, ginger beer, bitters?
Museum entry in 2004 was $7 for adults, $1 discount available anywhere. Leave a Comment

Dont' get confused with the one on Martin Luthur King St. -- Here's the NEW and expanded facility on Baker St., just above Centenial Olympic Park. The ticket now costs 15.00$ From the lobby, you'll get the chance to take picture with huge funky-decorated Coke bottles before walking thru the Coca-Cola Loft (pre-show, every 15-20 minutes or so), then entering the "Happiness Factory Theater," where they run a short animated behind-the-scene film. From there, they're 5 separated halls; From history of Coca-Cola to manufacturing demons. At the end of the hall, it's time to taste the unlimited 'soda' from 5 continents around the world!!

Open daily from 9 am - 5 pm

The museum follows the rise in popularity of Coca-Cola from its earliest days to its current place as an international best seller. World of Coca-Cola pavilion and interactive museum documents the history of the world's most famous soft drink, invented in an Atlanta drugstore more than 100 years ago. See hundreds of artifacts, exhibits and videos, watch how Coke is bottled and taste samples from around the world.

In the south we call every soft drink a coke. Come here where it all began and learn the history of why. Leave a Comment

We were a little dubious about this "attraction", but it was included in our city pass so we figured, "why not?"
It didn't start too well. The attendants in the memorabillia room were cheerful as if their lives depended on it and the forced awe and merriment seemed pretty fake. Then you are treated to a cute, but slight (and bizarre) "documentary" based on the Happiness Factory commercial (the animated one where you see inside the coke machine).
After that though, things got much better. There is a detailed history of coke. An endless loop of ads that was way more entertaining than I care to admit. An excellent 3D movie - the best of this variety I've seen outside of Disney. Plus you get to sample an endless variety of products that Coke sells outside of the US.
I'll admit that it sounds like a corporate shrine to Coke, but it's hard to deny Coke their moment in the sun. How many products are known throught the world? They revolutionized marketing. I know - that's kind of a bad thing, but I have to admit it - I do love Coke and I actually enjoyed this for what it was.
