The CNN building tour is very interesting if you are looking to get into broadcasting at all. The staff were extremely friendly and informative. I came here with some friends, who aren't as interested as I am, but they seemed to have a good enough time too. There's a food court here which has a pretty good selection, I just had a sandwich but it was fine. I think it's a fun and informative tour.

If you're ever in Atlanta You Got To GO!!! Great place to visit and take the tour.lots of stuff to do and big food court with plenty of seating but it does get crowded and packed with visitors from ALL over the world.

Great vibe!! If you're hoping to catch the bigger TV anchors you may get lucky but most of them work out of the New York location. Still a great place to visit.

Highly recommend to visit

There's not much to see here. They take you on a guided tour that lasts about an hour, and you see a bit of how the news gets made and broadcasted. It was a bit underwhelming to be honest. The tour either needs to be improved or extended so we can see more of the studio.

I was really disappointed to be honest. I expected this tour to take a lot more time than it did. And most of the tour you are not allowed to take pictures. I think the price for the pictures did they take is truly ridiculous. They are charging $35 for two pictures. If you already purchased this city pass then you'll get in free however I would not purchase this on its own.

This tour is a great way to learn, watch and listen to the elements behind the formation of stories presented by CNN. You get to see the technology, live broadcasts and how all of this comes together to make a live newscast. My only gripe is they try to sell you a picture at a news desk, and you are not allowed to use your camera like other places I have visited. I understand this is a tour (business), but they should allow visitors to take their own pictures at the top of the escalator.

News collection and dissemination is incredibly important, and while this tour is mildly interesting, it is largely a superficial walk through of an office building. You see some sets, a green screen, and a floor of reporters and producers, but from behind glass. In the end, unless your group or guide is particularly engaging, you learn as much or less about news as you might learn about bears at a zoo. Still, it is a family-friendly walking tour, and if you don't mind paying 15 bucks to be advertised to, it isn't unpleasant.

The huge red CNN logo and huge banner reveal its vision ~ The World s Leader of News & Entertainment. Buy a ticket and follow the studio tour to get a glimpse behind the scenes of the busy news network. If you pay for a picture in the studio, you can become a temporary female anchor.

The clear impression is that ~ the dining area saw a group of beautiful Americans wearing baseball outfits (Warriors), and strongly supported cheering for the team they identified; and they saw the face poster of CNN soul figure ~ TED TURNER ~.

The studio is nice, and the tour guide was very enthusiastic. She did a great job! The only issue was the tour was very boring. There was a whole lot of walking and not enough interaction.

The tour was about 15 minutes, start with using an escalator they said is the longest in the world then a theater, after that we walked behind an international live studio, then over the news room and ended up with another theater about 'go there'

Tour was ok, maybe a little too glossed over and high level, but it was something to do with the family. Took just over an hour. Be prepared to walk and go through security. Our teens were not impressed.

Meh

It was kind of neat to see the tour and what goes on at the studio. At $15 each it did feel overpriced and crowded. You ride up the world's longest freestanding escalator and then have 8 tour stops over 50 minutes as they guide you through the exhibit seeing the various newsrooms and studios along with 2 theater stops. No photos for the majority of the tour.

The tour has 2 options, with not much of a difference between the normal and VIP tour . The tour is around an hour . Kids are not allowed on the VIP tour. You can get combo passes if you are touring Atlanta and intend to see a few attractions downtown. The tour is a guided tour and security is present on all tours.

Very lively. There's a lot of food options inside and gift shops. There are tours available but can be on the expensive side for a family larger than 4 people. There's also a connected hotel which is great of you want to visit the park, attend a game, attend conventions, or take part in concerts.

So so tour, not too informative, our tour guide couldn't answer the crowds questions... Disappointing to hear, "that's a good question, but I don't know," hmm they have walkie talkies, maybe they could ask someone...

Cool place to visit with a lot of food options. There is an option to tour the facility that's a little on the pricey side, but if you are there to tour Atlanta, I would definitely take the tour! We were here during the Trump inauguration, which was a really cool experience.

The tour gives exciting background information about the CNN News Center.
The highlight for me was to be able to watch the reporters / journalists live in the offices and the presenters of the morning program.

Eh kind of boring. Tour guide was cool but wasn't much to see. $16 per person to walk through the building and see people on their computers and all the camera equipment and that's it. If you think you are going to see the anchors at work or the more famous people at CNN you won't.

The studio tour was not available during my visit but it's interesting to look at the space and building. No fees to visit and there are eatery in the building to grab drink and food. It's convenient to visit together with nearby attractions - coke museum, acquarium, etc.

CNN Center is CNN's worldwide headquarters. The main editorial offices and studios for several CNN news channels are located in the building. The commercial office premises of the facility are fully occupied by CNN and its subsidiary Turner Broadcasting System. The CNN Center is located in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, next to Centennial Olympic Park.
