Frankly, I don't know what I was expecting when I went in there. Was I surprised? Yes ! From my experience the centre has a rich and exciting history if that's your calling. Home to the longest free standing elevator with only two supports (one at the bottom and one at the top ) in the world, CNN head quarters, a hotel and lots of restaurants on the ground floor.

If you are near the centre and looking for for a meal don't fret, just walk into the CNN centre. The tour doesn't occur on the ground floor but you have to get your tickets there, go through security and use the elevator to arrive at the beginning of your tour session.

Afyer taking your sovenier picture, It takes an estimated 50 minutes, no toilets breaks, no videos or flash photos at all and no photos past the 2nd level and no rolling bags allowed to accomplish the tour.

Your tour guides talks about the history of CNN in brief and modus operandi, a brief stop to see the workers in action and finally exiting through the gift shop should spour some excitement.

I haven't a clue why the pictures cost the amount thay do . FYI -its not free. They print it and its easily available to you at the end of your tour, you have the option to opt out or buy it.
