Rain does not have to cancel the plan. Here are indoor things to do in Atlanta that work for couples, friends and solo outings, whether it is pouring or just too hot to be outside.
1. A BYOB tattoo class in Smyrna
Drink & Ink is a 2-hour BYOB tattoo paint & sip in Smyrna, GA, minutes from Atlanta, Marietta and Vinings. A professional tattoo artist teaches you to tattoo on synthetic practice skin (no real skin involved) while a live DJ plays. All supplies are included, no experience is needed, and every guest is 18+.
It is fully indoors, runs about two hours, and is easy to pair with dinner nearby.
2. Georgia Aquarium
One of the largest aquariums in the world, right downtown. Go on a weekday for smaller crowds.
3. The High Museum of Art
Midtown's art museum has rotating exhibitions and a strong permanent collection. Easy to spend a whole afternoon.
4. Fernbank Museum
Dinosaurs, natural history and big-screen films in Druid Hills.
5. Escape rooms, bowling and arcades
Atlanta has plenty of escape rooms, bowling lanes and arcade bars for a competitive group day indoors.
6. World of Coca-Cola
A classic Atlanta stop, especially if you have friends in town. Save room for the tasting room.
