Travel insights and tips on some of the top attractions and best cities in the world

As museums, zoos, aquariums, observation towers, theme parks and other attractions begin to welcome back guests, a new normal has emerged for visiting. While you can still expect the same great views, fascinating exhibits, animal encounters, culture, and entertainment, some things will look, feel and operate differently. Here's what you can expect when planning an in-person visit.

Georgia Aquarium is teeming with over 500 species of aquatic animals from around the world. Experience 10 million gallons of awe-inspiring wonders in more than 60 habitats. Learn about whale sharks, beluga whales, manta rays, penguins and sea lions, and don't forget to check out the Dolphin Celebration presentations.

From native wildlife to critically endangered species that serve as animal ambassadors to their counterparts in the wild, more than 1000 animals call Zoo Atlanta home. The zoo, an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, is one of only four zoos in the U.S. to house rare giant pandas.

The coolest museums engage, entertain and educate all ages. And just how does the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) measure up to those lofty goals? Well, check, check and check! Parents will be quietly high-fiving the fact that everyone is having fun (not to mention learning a little something to boot).

Calling all time travelers! The Empire State Building’s newly reimagined visitor experience lets guests hopscotch through the decades, reliving noteworthy moments in the history of the world’s most famous building. These new experiences come courtesy of a four-year, $165 million redevelopment and refurbishment project that was completed in November 2019.

You can still enjoy the thrills and magic of Orlando's best theme parks even while they're closed. Fairies and princesses, LEGOs, baby animals, wildlife conservation, heart-pumping daredevil rides… Orlando's got it all plus more, and it's all online for you to enjoy right now, from the comfort of home—with no crowds and no lines!
