Atlanta Children's Attractions

Three children's attractions in Atlanta give children the opportunity to play, explore the world around them, and participate in fun activities. The Center for Puppetry Arts, LEGOLAND Discovery Center, and Imagine It: The Children's Museum of Atlanta offer countless hours of entertainment. There is so much to enjoy that children will not even realize they are learning as well.
The Center for Puppetry Arts offers a series of family productions, puppetry workshops, and a museum. The newest performance, The Adventures of Little Noodle
, is scheduled from March 8-April 1. Lost in a grocery store, Little Noodle learns to make healthy food choices as she tries to find her way home. Children may participate in a create-a-puppet workshop where they can make their own Little Noodle rod puppet. The upcoming spring performance will be Peter Pan, which will run from April 5-May 27. The museum features several exhibits. Jim Henson: A Man and his Frog features Henson and his famous Kermit the Frog puppet. Jim Henson: Puppeteer has items that are on long term loan from the Henson Family Collection. The new interactive exhibit, Puppets: The Power of Wonder, showcases different types of puppets from various time periods. More than 350 puppets are on display including puppets from China, Indonesia, and Africa. The Center for Puppetry Arts is located at 1404 Spring Street NW in midtown. Hours are Tuesday-Friday from 9am-3pm, Saturdays from 9am-5pm, and Sundays from 11am-5pm. Performance tickets (including the museum and puppet workshop) are $16.50, and advance reservations are recommended. Museum admission without the performance is $8.25.
LEGOLAND Discovery Center is a brand new Atlanta attraction. Located at Phipps Plaza in Buckhead, LEGOLAND has a dozen fun areas to entertain LEGO fans. Younger visitors will enjoy DUPLO Village and the LEGO Construction Site. Older kids will want to try the Kingdom Quest ride and Merlin's Apprentice. The entire family can enjoy the LEGO 4-D Cinema and the LEGO Racers. The LEGO Shop carries a huge variety of LEGO sets. Phipps Plaza is located at 3500 Peachtree Road NE. Hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm, Saturdays from 10am-9pm, and Sundays from 10am-6pm. Admission is $20.52 for adults and $16.20 for ages 3-12.
Children can explore four learning zones at the Imagine It Museum. "Fundamentally Food" has a grocery store and play kitchen. "Leap into Learning" has a water play area, tree house, and a crawl space for young visitors. "The Tools for Solutions" area focuses on using the right tools to solve problems. Children can explore art and music in "Let Your Creativity Flow." A special exhibit entitled Adventures with Clifford the Big Red Dog
will be available through May 6. Children will enjoy lots of fun activities with Clifford and his friends. Imagine It is located at 275 Centennial Olympic Park Drive NW in downtown Atlanta. Museum hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm and weekends from 10am-5pm. Admission is $12.75.
