One afternoon activity mid January

We land at noon January 12th and had hoped we could do the 90min Peachtree Trolley but the 2:00 is not available. We are staying at Hotel Indigo. Any suggestions for something similar?

It sounds like you have a short window of time to explore Atlanta! If the Peachtree Trolley is unavailable at 2:00 p.m., there are still several great alternatives for a fun and relaxing afternoon activity near Hotel Indigo. Here are a few suggestions for similar experiences that will give you a taste of the city:

  • Atlanta Streetcar

    The Atlanta Streetcar offers a fun and convenient way to see downtown. It operates along a loop that passes several notable landmarks, including the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, Centennial Olympic Park, and the Sweet Auburn District. It's an easy and affordable option for a relaxed tour around the city, and the streetcar departs frequently, making it a great alternative to the Peachtree Trolley. You can hop on and off at various stops as well!

  • Georgia Aquarium

    If you're interested in something indoors, the Georgia Aquarium is a world-class attraction located a short distance from Hotel Indigo. You can explore aquatic exhibits, including the Ocean Voyager exhibit with whale sharks, manta rays, and other amazing sea creatures. The aquarium is one of Atlanta's top attractions and offers an engaging experience for all ages.

  • Centennial Olympic Park

    Since you'll be staying close to downtown, Centennial Olympic Park is a must-see, especially if you're into history or just want to relax in a beautiful park. It was built for the 1996 Olympics and is now home to fountains, gardens, and sculptures. You can enjoy a leisurely walk around the park, take in the views, and maybe grab a coffee or snack from a nearby cafe. It's perfect for a laid-back afternoon stroll.

  • Atlanta BeltLine

    If you're up for a bit of walking, the Atlanta BeltLine is a fantastic way to explore the city. This former railway corridor is being transformed into a vibrant public space with parks, art installations, and green spaces. You can walk along the Eastside Trail, which is lined with murals, and stop by local cafes and shops along the way. The BeltLine is a great spot to enjoy some fresh air while experiencing Atlanta's growing arts and culture scene.

  • SkyView Atlanta (Ferris Wheel)

    If you'd like to see a great view of the city, the SkyView Atlanta Ferris wheel is located near Centennial Olympic Park. It offers panoramic views of downtown, including the Georgia Aquarium and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It's a relaxing way to get an aerial view of Atlanta, and the ride itself is about 15 minutes long, so it won't take up too much time.

All of these options are within a short distance of Hotel Indigo and will give you a great introduction to Atlanta in just a few hours. If you're looking for something similar to the Peachtree Trolley Tour, the Atlanta Streetcar or a walk around Centennial Olympic Park would be great choices. Enjoy your visit to Atlanta!
