New World of Coca-Cola
- NASCAR events are the headliner at this 870-acre site, but business groups may reserve the track for a team-building event or mount an elegant occasion in a suite or the Checkered Fan Club. Track staff organize events for 50 to 150,000 guests—with or without wheels. www.atlantamotorspeedway.com.
Center for Puppetry Arts
- The magic of puppetry is on display in performances, puppet-making activities and a museum. Seated dinners and meetings for up to 160 are among the possibilities. www.puppet.org.
Georgia Aquarium
- Dazzle your group of 100 to 2,000 for dinner or standup receptions in one of the world’s largest manmade repositories of marine life. Guests may eyeball exotic fish and animals from every region of the globe. Oceans Ballroom has 16,400 square feet, and a variety of smaller spaces are a good fit for more intimate gatherings. www.georgiaaquarium.org.
Pittypat’s Porch
- Settle in for Scarlett O’Hara’s Aunt Pittypat’s fried chicken, beef tenderloin or baby back ribs slathered in Jack Daniel’s BBQ sauce. The Rocking Chair Lounge seats 75, the wine cellar 25 and the entire restaurant up to 600 hungry folks next to a groaning sideboard of cornbread, biscuits and Georgia peach cobbler. www.pittypatsrestaurant.com.
New World of Coca-Cola
- Coke memorabilia, product tastings, a 4-D theater, and a pop culture gallery of works by Andy Warhol and others makes this new 45,000-square-foot site a memorable stop for up to 1,500 people at a standing event. Or, choose one of five venues for a smaller group. www.woccatlanta.com.
