PLUS, They have a brand new exhibit that proves flavor is more than meets the tongue! 

World of Coca-Cola has officially announced the opening of Scent Discoverythe attraction’s first new permanent exhibit since 2011. The experience gives guests a deep dive into the anatomy of smell — from reception to perception — and challenges visitors to identify a variety of sweet, fruity and  spicy scents. 

“Many people don’t realize that flavor actually has more to do with smell than taste,” said Joanna Hobday, Group Director, Retail Operations and Administration, The Coca-Cola Company. “As a brand whose people are passionate about creating and providing the best-tasting drinks in the world, scent is at the core of what we do. Through Scent Discoverywe’re taking fans on an aromatic journey into the profiles they might find in some of their favorite beverages.”  

Inside the exhibit, guests learn about the science behind humans’ sense of smell and how it works with the brain to identify foods and recall memories. 

World of Coca-Cola Ambassadors lead small groups of guests through a tour of aromas — from sweet to fruity to spicy. Guests individually smell the scents one by one, share what each reminds them of and attempt to identify the fragrances.  

Following the guided experience, guests are invited to explore other mystery scents, grouped by flavor profile, along the outside wall of the room. As they learn each aroma’s origin, guests will also uncover related beverage recommendations. Guests leave the exhibit knowing more about why they choose the beverages they prefer and which Coca-Cola drinks to sample next.     

The health and safety of employees and guests are World of Coca-Cola’s top priorities, and the attraction has adjusted its operations in compliance with guidelines from health and government authorities. Face coverings are required for all employees and guests over the age of 2, and capacity has been reduced via time-stamped admission tickets to promote social distancing. Thermal temperature scans are conducted for employees and guests upon entry, and cleaning routines have been enhanced throughout the attraction. Face coverings and social distancing are required inside Scent Discovery and do not detract from the experience of  the exhibit. The Taste It! sampling experience has been altered to comply with FDA guidelines, and small groups are led through curated tastings at designated times. More information is available online.

MEDIEVAL TIMES: Save on Any Show At All Nine Castles!

We are so fortunate to have one of the nine Medieval Times North American Castles in our area. This outstanding show featuring chivalry, rivalry, & revelry is truly family entertainment at its finest!

Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament recreates an 11th-century tournament inside their 1100 seat indoor arena where you are the royal guests. Watch Andalusian stallions perform, the King’s own falcon fly and all six knights engage in live jousting and sword fights that maintain the highest quality of action-packed entertainment and safety standards.

The show at the Atlanta castle was updated about two years ago with new, exciting music, beautiful costumes, dramatic lighting, more fighting and of course, more horses! The magnificent stallions are the real stars of the show. The Pure Spanish Horse was prized by medieval royalty for its astonishing strength, agility, and even temperament. Their performance is one of the highlights of the show.

Included in the price of the show is a 4 course, utensil-free meal that is served during the show, so you never feel as though you are waiting. The waiters are terrific! They are very efficient and remain in character, answering every request with "Yes, my Lord", or "as My Lady wishes". The menu includes pureed tomato soup, garlic bread, roasted chicken half, BBQ rib, half a potato, & an apple pastry along with beverages. (A vegetarian option is also available) The portions are large and the kids love eating with their fingers. Don't worry, they even provide warm wet-wipes after the meal to clean up messy hands and faces!

This show provides heart-pounding entertainment, lots of crowd participation as you cheer for your favorite knight, gorgeous horses, brave knights, royal pageantry and a feast "fit for a king"! It’s no wonder it’s rated the #1 Dinner attraction in North America!

SKYDIVE GEORGIA: TANDEM JUMP
