ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With average temperatures hovering comfortably in the 70s F (low 20s Celsius), spring is an ideal time to experience Atlanta’s Southern hospitality. And for visitors looking to squeeze the most value from every vacation dollar, CityPASS has further reduced the cost to visit Atlanta’s top attractions.
The price of a 2011 Atlanta CityPASS has dropped to $69 for adults, $49 for children. (Last year’s prices were $74 and $54, respectively.) CityPASS travelers save half off regular admission prices and enjoy line-skipping access to the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola and Inside CNN Studio Tour; as well as two option tickets that give travelers a choice between the Fernbank Museum of Natural History and the High Museum of Art, and between Zoo Atlanta and the Atlanta History Center.
The recent addition of two juvenile beluga whales has gotten 2011 off to a great start for the Georgia Aquarium, the world’s largest aquarium. The whales — Qinu (female) and Grayson (male) — can be found swimming with the adult belugas in the Georgia-Pacific Cold Water Quest gallery.
This spring will also see exciting developments at both the Fernbank Museum of Natural History and Zoo Atlanta. The Fernbank will open a new, permanent children’s exhibit: Fernbank NatureQuest. Here, active kids can explore the nooks and crannies of a multilevel clubhouse, shimmy up spiraling netting to discover the insides of a mighty red oak tree, and walk through a virtual waterfall.
And, at Zoo Atlanta, everyone is buzzing about the scheduled spring debut of the zoo’s giant panda cub. Currently bonding with his mother, the yet-to-be-named cub was born last November. Until his official debut, curious visitors can check the cub’s progress by tuning in to the zoo’s PandaCam.
Atlanta CityPASS can be purchased online at CityPASS.com or at any of the Atlanta CityPASS attractions. It is valid for nine consecutive days, beginning with the first day of use. CityPASS is also available for New York City, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Hollywood, Houston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Southern California and Toronto.
