Atlanta is known for fine dining, plentiful shopping opportunities, world-class attractions, and Southern charm. Visitors to this popular destination find no shortage in things to do and places to see.
In just a few short months, HAVEN returns to Atlanta, at the fabulous Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead. Because many attendees might be starting to plan their trip, we thought we’d pull together a few fun destination tips for those planning to arrive early or stay beyond the conference dates.
The Shops Buckhead Atlanta
If you’re interested in perusing through luxury and designer stores, you should visit The Shops Buckhead Atlanta. Just minutes away from the Grand Hyatt Atlanta, they feature over 50 designer shops, restaurants, and cafes set amidst beautifully landscaped streets.

Ponce City Market
Ponce City Market is an epicenter for dining, shopping, and gathering among local residents. The venue, which occupies the fully renovated Sears, Roebuck & Company building, spans over two million feet. This historic building is home to retail stores, restaurants, offices, venues, and residences alike.
Atlantic Station
At Atlantic Station, in addition to a cinema and dining options, you’ll find popular retailers such as Ikea, Target, Pandora, and much more.

Georgia Aquarium
At the Georgia Aquarium, 10 million gallons of fresh and salt water house the largest single aquarium habitat in the world and more aquatic life than any other aquarium in North America. It’s the only facility outside of Asia that houses whale sharks.
Words simply do the Georgia Aquarium no justice. It’s a wonder that must be seen in person!

WORLD OF COCA-COLA
The World of Coca-Cola is located in Pemberton Place, adjacent to the Georgia Aquarium. At this multimedia attraction, you can get a behind-the-scenes look at the bottling process and view over 1,200 never-before-displayed artifacts ranging from vintage bottles to a 1939 Coca-Cola delivery truck from Argentina.

This picturesque park features walking/jogging paths, picnic facilities, playgrounds, tennis courts, a public swimming pool, two ponds and dog park. It is the premier green space and central gathering place of Atlanta with postcard views of the Midtown Atlanta skyline.
Delta Flight Museum
This museum contains exhibits filled with hundreds of items, many of which have never been on public display, chronicling more than 80 years of Delta history. Visitors can pilot a Boeing 737-200 full-motion simulator – the only one open to the public in the U.S.
