It exhibits the history of Delta Airways. There are nice displays for “children” of all ages. A must see is the external Boeing 747,where yo can tour the whole length of this icon.

A wonderful attraction highly recommended for your inner child.”

It is a very quite place to live by the airport inside ATL outside of 285 perimeter .

Now, this won’t replace “New York style” pizza, but it doesn’t have to. Oz Pizza is simply amazing pizza. It’s their style, and that’s what I loved about it. (I wasn’t looking for New York pizza, go to New York for that.) Perfect crust, crunchy and fluffy soft. Thin and crispy in the middle and perfectly topped with cheese, sauce and in my case, pepperoni. If you’re craving pizza, this is the place!.”
