Family-friendly places to look, learn, and experience together.

Fernbank Museum

Fernbank Museum of Natural History is Atlanta’s answer to New York’s renowned treasure trove. But unlike NYC’s Museum of Natural History, this facility lets your little ones learn outdoors, too. 

Fernbank is full of fun, like looping around the Dinosaur Plaza or exploring new science discoveries. It is full of hands-on experiences and learning about the world.

The best thing about Fernbank is that it is equally exciting for toddlers and for 8-10 year olds, so the family can enjoy it together.

Children’s Museum of Atlanta
Hands-on, play-based learning that keeps younger kids engaged and moving in a creative, screen-free way.

Center for Puppetry Arts
Intimate, high-quality shows plus a museum where kids can see how puppets are made and try them out.

High Museum of Art (Family Days / select exhibits)
Calm, inspiring art experiences that work best with older kids, especially during family programming days.

Fox Theatre (family-friendly shows)
A beautiful, iconic Atlanta theatre that feels special for kids — best for matinees and kid-appropriate performances.
