What are the highlights of SkyView Atlanta?
SkyView Atlanta is a remarkably comfortable ride, with each group enjoying a gondola of their own. With large floor-to-ceiling windows offering the best possible vantage point, each ride lasts between 8 and 12 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to snap photos and enjoy the scenery. If you really want to level up your visit, SkyView Atlanta also has a VIP gondola featuring luxury leather seats and a glass-bottom floor, so you can catch views of the city from every perspective.
Thanks to SkyView Atlanta’s central location, you can easily skip around to other major attractions once you’ve finished your ride. For instance, World of Coca-Cola is on the other side of the park, while the College Football Hall of Fame is just a short stroll away. Alongside the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, CNN Studio Tours and the Children's Museum of Atlanta, you won’t have a problem filling the day with activities.
