Now if you're a kid, this is probably the closest thing to heaven you'll ever see, yet for the adults that have to chaperone the kids this is hardly anyone's idea of fun.
With the long lines, the headbanging rides, the unkempt restrooms, steep costs for EVERYTHING, the last place a sensible adult wants to be is at Six Flags, especially during the summer. The heat alone is unbearable, but the resultant B.O. is worse. I went this past May, waited around for hours, got on 3 rides and left. I guess I am not kid anymore.

If you are looking for a specialty title or need help from a salesclerk on finding a certain act, I would recommend going to the Tower Records in Atlanta next to the "disco Kroger" in Buckhead. Whenever I go there I feel like I am truly looking for music instead of just some top hit act like you could find at any mall in the area. The salesclerks are knowledgeable and helpful and the clientele seems much more with it and trendy than the very suburban area surrounding the store. If they don't have it in stock, they are only too happy to order it in for you.

More
My favorite theater in Atlanta for going to the movies is the Regal at Perimeter. Its not as large as some of the other Regal locations so it doesn't have quite the mobbed scene. There is a nice Starbucks in front where you can have a drink before or after the movies. While sometimes on the weekends, the teenagers take over the area out front; overall it is a much more sane experience than the Regal Hollywood 24.

OK, aside from the fact that this place is a landmark and piece of history it is a great place to catch a flick. Where else can you enjoy a movie from the comfort of your car with sound as good as your radio will offer? I love catching a movie here and cuddling with my s.o. Plus you can bring in any type of food you want and if you take the kids they get in under free as long as they're under the age of 10.

Well this tourist trap is what you would expect. Everything you would ever want to know about Coke is here. The highlight of the tour was the ability to sample for free several different kinds of Coke from around the world. If you love Coke, don’t miss this. Just a hop, skip, and jump from Underground Atlanta...

You will not be disappointed in the Woodruff Arts Center. Very professional staff and volunteers, an elegant interior and attractive exterior make this the place to go for a great show. Parking can be tough but the Center is within walking distance of Marta. I have enjoyed all of the performances at Woodruff and can't say anything bad about it.

This is the largest movie theater I have been in. Years ago, the drive-in movie theater was in the same lot. Because there are so many screens at this theater, the parking is out of hand as are the lines. You must buy tickets in advance or show up very early to purchase at the door. There is always a huge line. It just seems like too much hassle to see a movie.

More
This is a fun theater because they show a lot of independent films that other theaters in the area do not play. I was surprised to learn that they are owned by regal theaters. It is located in an interesting strip mall with club 112, a vegan grocery store and a photography store. Great place to go if you want something a little different, but you might need to research the movies you are going to see first--most are not advertised mainstream.

Oxford Comics and Game has a wide selection of vintage and new comic books. The staff is very knowledgeable and eager to help. They even remembered a particular issue just from my description. Price on some of the items are high but you pay that in most places. Also had an assortment videos and DVDS for purchase. Parking is limited.

More
What can one say about International Bowling Alley (IBA)? It's a huge complex with a lot of video game machines, a 10 table pool hall, a mini-restaurant, and almost 20 lanes of bowling. On any given day, you'll see a wide variety of people as reflective of its Buford Highway location.
It's a nice place to go for a casual date, or just hang out with friends. However, location does come with a price. The cost of a game here is more than most places, the same for shoe rental. However, if you go on the weekends, they give you a coupon good for one free game on the off-days.
