"National Historical Site honors one of the great leaders in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Covering 35 acres, this National Parks Service site offers much to see and learn.

"Much like the great leader who inspired it, this national monument has a big impact. Located in the historic Sweet Auburn District downtown, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park goes on and on."

"The Swan House is part of the Atlanta History Center but can be visited separately. The home was built for Edward Inman, an heir to a large cotton fortune, and his wife, Emily. The architect was Philip Trammel Shutze and he designed the home and the gardens in an Italian classical style."

"If you’re looking for something a little more vintage, Atlanta’s still got you covered. The Swan House was designed by Phillip T. Shutze for an elite married couple. Once they died, the mansion and its grounds were acquired by the Atlanta Historical Society."

"Start Your Trip at the Centennial Olympic Park Open from 7Am till 11PM, the Centennial Olympic Park, home of the Olympic Games of 1996, is now Atlanta’s main hub for art festivals, live entertainment, and various activities for children. Moreover, it is surrounded by many of Atlanta’s most famous landmarks, such as the College Football Hall of Fame, the Georgia World Congress Center, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia Aquarium, and many others."

"On this tour, learn about the city’s history and architecture with a stop at the beautiful 1928 Swan House and a visit to either the Margaret Mitchell House, the governor’s mansion, or the Rhodes Hall. Details of the tour depend on the day of the week and other details, but with three historic homes and two famous neighborhoods, you will learn more about Atlanta than on any other city tour."

"This Romanesque-style home is a rare surviving example of the mansions that once lined Atlanta’s fashionable Peachtree Street. The house was built for furniture man Amos Giles Rhodes in 1902-1904, its distinctive design inspired by the castles Rhodes saw on a visit to Germany’s Rhineland. The house is now occupied by the Georgia Trust, which offers tours of the historic property."

"However, if you would like to find some simple, fun things to do in Atlanta for kids exclusively (more or less), then your two best options are the Children’s Museum of Atlanta, recommended for kids between the ages of 2 and 8, and the Center for Puppetry Arts. The Children’s Museum has its own troupe of professional actors called the Imaginators, who develop entertaining hands-on activities for kids, such as little musicals and other activities that children can participate in and learn while playing."

"Come for the museum collection of more than 200 puppets from around the world, stay for top-notch performances like Beauty and the Beast or Old MacDonald’s Farm. The museum-only admission gives access to a self-guided tour of iconic Jim Henson puppets, but it’s best to reserve performance tickets in advance."
