If you have never seen a broadcast station, it is ok to pay $15 for a 50-60 min tour. The building itself is quite ugly with even worse selection of cheap eats inside, why can t they put something remotely modern hip and fun like Ponce City Market inside the big atrium? The tour guy was informative and efficient, I had more fun touring the world of Coca Cola.

Excellent tour! I had a fantastic time here, amazing how they work so hard in there! I would love to do their job at least for one day to have the experience, it's really amazing, also the staff it's very friendly!

The CNN tour is a must for anyone interested in how journalism works. It gives a very insightful behind-the-scenes look at broadcasting along with some rich history of Ted Turner got it all started. Shoutout to my man Taylor!

I totally disappointed about CNN, I was thinking the tour would be better and no. They dont show you enpught thing so really there better thing to do than this in atlanta the cocacola world is too better.

It's a very interesting facility but unfortunately the tour is subpar. I learned very little and the tour was over in like 15 minutes plus there was no sort of interaction of any sort. You spend 1/3 of this tour just trying to get through the security checkpoint. Over all I'd say you're better off just saving your money.

2 options for tours. Regular tour can include up to 45 guests, which I think is too many. You can only take pictures at 2 points on the tour and there are security guards at every point to make sure you don't take pics. Escalator up 8 floors, stairs down. Not bad at all. Our guide knew his stuff.

My husband is a huge CNN watcher. So i thought it would be pretty neat to tour the studios while we were in Atlanta. They allow military (with proper id) in free and give discounts to family. The tour was 45 minutes long. Im not sure if this is common practice but our group of about 15 people was rushed through the entire tour. The tour guide lady kept looking at her watch and announcing how we need to 'keep it moving.' Thus the reason for the 3 stars. Getting to ride the world's longest frestanding escalator was pretty neat. Getting to see the floor where all the news has to pass through was pretty cool too.

This tour was a find! Atlanta was never my initial vacation destination (I had a problem with my flight and ended up staying in Atlanta for a few days). And being there, I looked for tourist spots and CNN was one of them. It was very surprising to be inside an American communication vehicle. I loved the tour and the stories. There's even a photo / pose that you take on the CNN stand as if you were the journalist. Very playful!

This was a fun tour, and it was interesting to see some of CNN's broadcast facilities, but I didn't really feel it was worth what they charged. You start out riding up the world's largest continuous escalator, which was kind of cool, and then they do photos of you and your party for purchase at the end of the tour. Normally I dislike things like that, but they managed to get a good picture of all four of us, which is really rare, so props for that! Then they tell you a little about how broadcasting works, and you get to watch a panel of screens being used for a live broadcast. After that you get to walk around and look in on some newsrooms and some broadcast studios - interesting, but I still probably wouldn't pay to do it a second time.

I didn't go on a tour, but I did visit the building often for food. Many different food options to choose from & I really wanted to go into the Cartoon Network store, but I was there for Walker Stalker Con, so I had to save my $ for that.

Kind of cool but not really worth the cost. Best part: you get to ride up the longest freestanding escalator. They show you behind the scenes on how the news is made. It's moderately informative and some of the stuff is cool, but it's mostly meh. It'd be worth it if it was $10, but not at the price it's at.

Our visit to the CNN Center in Atlanta was a blast!

We started off with the VIP tour of the building which includes access to live news rooms, control rooms and so much more. I recommend spending the extra money for this tour versus the basic tour.

Did you know that the escalator pictured above in the largest free standing escalator in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records?

Such a fun experience just for that alone.

Wow

People said "See the College Football Hall of Fame. See the Aquarium." But being a news junkie and my wife being curious of anything Trump dislikes we went in the CNN tour. It was the day of the Las Vegas mass shooting. I hoped to walk through the news rooms, the set, and get a glimpse of the news anchors. We did that but from far removed hallways with glass dividers sometimes with peer holes. So you are never are in the room where the action is taking place. Despite the big news day our tour was like every other tour. My suggestion, go see everything else and if you still have time and money, go tour CNN.
