Best time to visitTwo separate windows work best: Apr–Jun & Sep–Jan. Pick the one that matches what you came for.Know before you go

Buy tickets online for a timed entry: walk-up lines can run long, especially on weekends and school holidays.

The Ocean Voyager tunnel is the highlight; go right at opening to see it before the crowds build.

It sits right next to World of Coca-Cola and Centennial Olympic Park, so the three pair naturally into one downtown day.

Plan on 3-4 hours to see it properly; it's larger than it looks from outside.
