Pemberton Place was named for John S. Pemberton, the pharmacist who created Coca-Cola® in 1886. This 20-acre site in Atlanta, Georgia is home to the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. At a later date, these two attractions may be joined by The Center for Civil and Human Rights. The land for the Georgia Aquarium and The Center was donated by The Coca-Cola Company as part of its long commitment to downtown Atlanta. Built into Pemberton Place are five acres of beautiful public access green space for everyone to enjoy.
