Looks like The GA Aquarium is again offering discounted admission for teams on Friday night (http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/first.aspx)this year. :)
Nice!

Also, for those interested, the Titanic Artifact exhibit (http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/visitus/titanicaquatic.aspx) is there (but it may be an additional fee on top of the regular and/or FIRST discount aquarium admission, so be aware if you're interested in that)
I went to this one when it came around locally, & can vouch that it is a very good exhibit! I highly recommend that.

By the way, is anyone planning on checking out the World Of Coca-Cola (http://www.worldofcoca-cola.com/) during their stay?
That's one place I personally haven't been to yet.

The Titanic exhibit at the Aquarium is at no additional charge beyond admission, unless they have changed it recently. The Aquarium is a very cool place to go and I would highly recommend it.
World of Coca-Cola is fun, although I prefer the Aquarium. But, you do get free soda at the World of Coca-Cola, including unlimited access to all of their flavors(they have tons that you will never find in the U.S., and are sold internationally).

Another nod from me for the aquarium. As your typical, technologically-inclined robotics nerd, I was less than excited about seeing a bunch of wildlife... it really is a sight to behold. Even if you hate fish, the engineering that went into some of the exhibits is phenomenal. Take a look at this shark tank (http://atlanta.arounder.com/georgia_aquarium/US000010212.html) and imagine the massive pressure exerted on that clear wall, and you can go up and be inches away. Engineering aside, where else can you get that close to a full grown shark? Incredible.
