The tour is "OK" but if you dont watch CNN a lot or a broadcasting buff, you will probably not appreciate it. All you really get to see are the studio's and a little bit of back of the scenes stuff. I got to see a live broadcast which was great! The price is reasonable for what you get (12$)... more

On Monday, October 20, my two brothers and I took the CNN Center Tour. This was my first visit to Atlanta and the tour was really worth it. Once you go through security, you take the escalator up to the eighth floor, but then you go down the steps. It's a 55-minute walking tour that costs only $12. You cannot... more

I didn't think this was too bad, we had a decent guide, with a good sense of humor. There wasn't too much going on, on a Saturday afternoon. This tour is just kind of an overview of CNN, don't expect too much depth. more

The CNN tour is worth a visit. The Control Room and Severe Weather center were particularly interesting. The Control Room had more workstations in it than I expected. The escalator is long and high. If you're looking to eat while there, the food court has many quick service places, some even healthy; as well as a couple of sit down... more

This is an interesting tour if you are a CNN-watcher. The tour is guided and takes you through an observation area where you can see the anchors and staff woking on the floor below. You are able to see the main headquarters floor, as well as the Headline News floor. You get some interesting facts from your guide and can... more

Our tour guide was pleasant enough, with a clearly memorized script. She had one question to field, and handled that okay - we could have used a lot more details about CNN history and what it takes to gather news and get it on the air, both before Internet and blogosphere, and now. more

Had seen lots of recommendations for the CNN Tour and was glad we made it part of our trip. The building alone is interesting to look at....very unique construction indoors. Has a food court which is very handy since there aren't many convenient fast food places downtown. So, try to plan this part of your trip for mealtime. The tour... more

Visited June 2008. Felt that the cost of the tour was way too high for what the tour amounted to. I didn't feel it was very in depth. The person who conducted the tour seemed to rush everyone through each section. If someone did not have an immediate question, we were ushered into the next area. Sometimes it is nice... more

Now in writing this please do understand that Ive done the radio and tv scene professionally. I went on the CNN tour just to check it out. The admission price is $12 for an hour tour. Its educational and interesting in understanding what goes on in a day while trying to do a show. Knowing what I know I think... more
