Atlanta airport long layover, what do?

Will be in Atlanta airport 8+ hours (don't ask) tomorrow. Should I spend most of that time in a nice Delta Sky Club for $29, or could I head into Atlanta and go to the aquarium, or something like that?
Thx for your thoughts! ��

With 8 hours, why not take the MARTA downtown and explore Centennial Olympic Park? The Aquarium and several other attractions are located around it. I think the best stop would be Peachtree Center.

Or the Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Site. It includes Ebenezer Baptist Church, his tomb, an interpretative center staffed with NP Rangers.Very worthwhile to visit.

Thank you for your replies! I looked at Google Maps and taking MARTA to Peachtree sounds pretty good. Will check the weather forecast shortly.
