You can also stroll through the treetops of Storza Woods on the Kendeda Canopy walk, the only tree canopy–level walkway of its kind in the United States. Note: No outside food is allowed. Participants may eat lunch on-site at Metrofresh Café, which offers a menu of fresh healthy options.

After a highlight tour, you can visit the Weinman Mineral Gallery to see phosphorescent minerals or the Fossil Gallery to experience a battle between dinosaurs. You can even dig for your own fossils or pan for gold and gems! At the Science in Motion Gallery you’ll be propelled from Kitty Hawk to the Moon. During your visit, you’ll be treated to a show in the planetarium and a visit to the Solar Decathlon House, which was designed and built by Georgia Tech engineering students. This museum is a one-stop wonder! CANCELED World of Coca-Cola $25 #F-5 Fri., Nov. 2 1:45–5:15 PM For more than 125 years, we’ve been putting our secret formula into each bottle of Coca-Cola®.
