World of Coca-Cola

The World of Coca-Cola is a 20 acre museum and is located blocks away from where the original Coca-Cola formula was created. There is plenty to do and see inside and you could easily take up hours exploring. My favorite part was the taste testing of their sodas from around the world. My favorite sodas were from Africa. They have added a new exhibit, Experience Scent Discovery. You can also find a 3-D theater, the Coca-Cola polar bear, Vault of the Secret Formula, and much more.
