Best time to go to Atlanta....

DH & I are planning on taking the Marriott Rewards we got for having our wedding reception at a Marriott to go to Atlanta to visit the Georgia Aquarium and the Atlanta Zoo.

Can anyone recommend a good time to go? We were thinking of May ?

I think springtime is beautiful in Atlanta, but you might want to avoid the first week or so of April. The pollen is so bad that everything is covered in yellow pollen, and I mean that literally. When we were able to wash our cars (before our extreme drought), the water would run yellow down the driveway.

But the weather is beautiful in the spring, and also in the fall. In the summer it's very hot and humid.

Been there is mid-Oct. and Thanksgiving week. Both pleasant during the day. Nov. was pretty cool at night. Great falls colors in the GA mountains northwest of Atlanta.
