After reading the comments and pictures posted by other travelers, I feel that the museum has been renovated after 2020, and the renovation effect is very good. However, the ticket price has also increased-it is not $16.5 as everyone said, I clearly paid $27! And no cash or UnionPay cards are accepted.
There are too many contents. Coming here is equivalent to a museum + forest park + celebrity residence + zoo. It is also a good choice for weddings and photo-taking. After walking for a day, I didn’t finish the tour. Can $27 be more worthwhile? There are movies and guides in the exhibition hall. I usually think my English is good, but now it seems that it is still not enough.
This place is amazing, there is so much to see and learn. Be sure to allow plenty of time to walk through the Swan House, a 19th century working farm, grounds, exhibits and museum. An hour or two went by on my own to visit the Civil War Museum and walk through that period of history. Great artifacts and written documents, I would have loved to go back and spend more time in the Civil War Museum and listen to the explanations with headphones. The Centennial Olympics exhibit was also very interesting. Best to wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot. This is a history lesson for teenagers, but not for small children. Spent four hours and still didn't see it all, I will definitely come back.

This square is a large park in the middle of the street, free. You can stroll around when you have time, take photos at the Fifth Ring Road, etc. There is a Ferris wheel next to it, and the view of the surrounding buildings is pretty good. Then walk to the CNN headquarters in 5 minutes.
The Olympic Plaza is also a large building. The square itself is very historical. It is quite interesting to visit this place. You can see many Olympic facilities and projects. The interior of the square is also a large space where you can see a lot.

tranquility in the heart of the city. a nice place to go and chill out from the hustle and bustle. the air is fresh, many waterfalls with atmospheric displays. a great option for both day and night time. at night, the lights are spectacular!
The Atlanta Botanical Garden is also a beautiful place and a scene that is worth visiting. The geographical location of the botanical garden is very advantageous. You can see many interesting ecological landscapes. The variety and quantity of plants are also very large.
