Philips Arena

This spectacular $213-million arena, home to the NHL Atlanta Thrashers, NBA Atlanta Hawks, and WNBA Atlanta Dream, was built on the site of the old Omni Coliseum. Tours of the arena are available daily every half-hour from 9am to 6pm on non-event days, and 9am to 5pm on event days. The 1-hour tours take in the Hawks' and Thrashers' locker rooms, the press box, and the luxury suites. Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, $4.50 for children 4 to 12, and free for kids 3 and under. The Philips Experience is an interactive station with five hands-on activities to test your skills in basketball, hockey, and other fun challenges.

The Hawk Walk, which connects the CNN Center with Philips Arena, is worth a look if you're a sports fan. It's an indoor street that sells food, beverages, and Atlanta Hawks, Thrashers, and Dream merchandise. Huge video screens display live action at the arena or shows from one of the Turner networks, while giant billboards flash ticker information from the CNN channels.
