isit the vault where the legendary secret formula for Coca‑Cola is secured. Regarded as the most closely guarded and best-kept secret, the secret formula for Coca‑Cola represents over 125 years of history, special moments, memories and the timeless appeal associated with Coca‑Cola. Now our guests can get closer to the famous secret formula than ever before!

Travel through the exhibit on an immersive multimedia journey toward the Chamber of the Secret Formula. Along the way, learn about the origins of the secret formula, how competitors tried to copy the success of Coca‑Cola, how the owners of Coca‑Cola kept the formula secret throughout the years and how the secrecy spawned a trove of myths and legends.

Have fun with the various interactive experiences throughout the exhibit like the Virtual Taste Maker, which invites you to create taste and flavor combinations the same way early pharmacists and inventors did. As you turn the five physical dials, you add flavor qualities to your “mix,” and dramatically affect the visuals and sound effects. Test your mix to see how your flavors compare with the perfect flavor combination of Coca‑Cola.

The Bubble-izer is another interactive experience which gives you a chance to become part of the secret.  As you approach this interactive, you will be transformed into an effervescent bubbling form and immersed into the bubble and fizz of Coca‑Cola.  You can capture a photo of your bubbly visualization making a funny face or dancing to share with your friends.

Then you can test how well you protect the secret through an immersive full body interactive experience that leads you through three virtual environments—the Triangle Room, Secure Train Car and Bank Vault—all locations where the secret formula has been kept. You can also participate in group game play as you trigger animations and watch these environments magically change and come to life.  Challenge your friends and family to see how well you protect the secret.

A series of ten galleries brings the rich history of The Coca‑Cola Company to life through exhibits featuring some of its most prized possessions such as a circa 1880s soda fountain, 1939 delivery truck from Argentina and the Coca‑Cola contour bottle.

The very first Coca‑Cola was served at a soda fountain like the one found at the beginning of Milestones of Refreshment. Soda fountains were capable of dispensing many different flavors. Coca‑Cola was only one of 16 flavors this fountain offered. This particular soda fountain is actually older than Coca‑Cola and dates back to the early 1880s, which makes it the second oldest artifact in the World of Coca‑Cola.

As you journey through the galleries you will notice a Chevrolet Delivery Truck. This 1939 Chevrolet delivery truck came from David Lee, a bottler in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Due to its large size, the attraction had to be built around the truck in order to fit it. So technically, the truck was actually the very first artifact installed in the new World of Coca‑Cola.

While in Milestones of Refreshment you will also learn more about the beginning of the Coca‑Cola contour bottle. When Coca‑Cola first started being bottled, there was no such thing as a standard Coca‑Cola bottle. As the brand began enjoying greater and greater commercial success, many companies began trying to copy Coca‑Cola. Leaders of Coca‑Cola sought to create the distinctive packaging the product deserved. In 1916, Coca‑Cola debuted the contour bottle which today is one of the most widely recognized brand icons in the world.

From the first serving of Coca‑Cola and the creation of the Coca‑Cola bottle to sponsorship of global events like the Olympic Games. Walk through Milestones of Refreshment and learn how The Coca‑Cola Company grew to be what it is today. In this gallery, you’ll also see more than 1,000 original artifacts, some dating back to the earliest days of Coca‑Cola’s history.

Coca‑Cola and the polar bear have a rich history together. The polar bear first debuted in a Coca‑Cola print advertisement in France in 1922 and then appeared periodically for the next 70 years. The modern polar bear did not make its debut until the 1993 “Always Coca‑Cola” campaign in a television ad called “Northern Lights”. Since then, the polar bear has appeared in numerous television and print advertisements becoming one of the most popular symbols of Coca-Cola advertising.
