2005 Towering Termite Tour Scheduled for Fourth Saturday Family Fun Day

In addition to activities related to the June Fourth Saturday Family Fun Day theme, "Our Many Cultures," Centennial Olympic Park will host the 2005 Towering Termite Tour on June 25, 2005.

The world's largest traveling interactive termite exhibit housed in a two-story high inflatable termite, the exhibit is swarming into Atlanta just in time to teach curious kids and parents about the good, the bad, and the just plain strange sides of these destructive bugs. Designed to educate and entertain, the belly of this bug (which is 69,000 times the size of a real termite) houses terrariums of real termite colonies, unusual materials attacked by termites like piano keys and magazines, fun learning games, strange but true termite facts (for every human on Earth, entomologists calculate there may be as many as 1,000 pounds of termites!) and valuable take home information for parents.

A lasting legacy of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Centennial Olympic Park has become a performing-arts venue, community gathering-space and an anchor for downtown development. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority operates the 21-acre Park, as well as the Georgia Dome and Georgia World Congress Center. The three state-owned facilities are one of the largest combined sports, entertainment and convention center facilities in the world.
