WHAT:   The 2005 Towering Termite Tour, the world's largest traveling
        interactive termite exhibit housed in a two-story high
        inflatable termite, is swarming into Atlanta just in time to

        (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. Admission to the event is included in
        the entrance fee to both Centennial Olympic Park and the
        Atlanta Braves game.
