In Atlanta proper:

 

Georgia Aquarium 

MLK Museum

Childrenโ€™s Museum (if guests have kids) or

World of Coca-Cola. 

** Bonus: those are all located near Centennial Olympic Park district, so you can access all 3, walk in the park & get to The Ferris Wheel

Stone Mountain is an iconic place to visit- they have a great light/laser/drone show at night!  Also, dining at the Polaris Restaurant will give you fantastic views of the city skyline.  Coca-Cola is headquartered here, so take in The World Of Coke Museum.  For nature lovers, Sweetwater Creek State Park offers many trails to hike just outside of the city.  Checkout the Atlanta Beltline to ride a bike, skateboard or walk.  Great places to stop along the way for a bite or a drink!
