Atlanta gets its own CityPass

    CityPass

    , a discounted ticket bundle for select cities, will be available in Atlanta starting on September 6. It covers entry into six of eight available attractions and is good for nine days after first use. My hunch is it's the new and very popular

    Georgia Aquarium

    that put Atlanta on the CityPass map. In fact, the biggest benefit of an Atlanta CityPass may be the automatic entry to the aquarium that allows you to bypass the time-reservation entry system.

    Other attractions covered by the pass are the

    High Museum of Art

    ,

    Inside CNN Atlanta Studio Tours

    ,

    the World of Coca-Cola

    , the

    Atlanta Botanical Garden

    or the

    Fernbank Museum of Natural History

    , and

    Zoo Atlanta

    or the

    Atlanta History Center

    .

    As always, the question with bundled tickets is: Is it worth it? If you're planning on hitting these attractions anyway, you'll certainly save; but if you're only planning on going to one or two of them, it's better to buy tickets individually. The CityPass is $59 for adults and $45 for children 3 to 12.
