It is probably a bit rainy to enjoy the Preschool Adventures at Autrey Mill, so the best-bet activity for today is the Imagine It! Children's Museum in Atlanta.On the second Tuesday of each month, Target sponsors free admission at the museum from 1:00-7:00 p.m. This is a great savings, because the usual admission price is $11 each! The museum is open later than usual, which means if you have children in school, you can go in the mid-to-late afternoon. The museum is for ages 8 and under.
Imagine It! is easy to get to - it's in the Centennial Olympic Park section of Atlanta, not far from World of Coke and the Georgia Aquarium.
The museum has special exhibits with shows throughout the day; right now the theme is "The Amazing Castle," which will run until May 26. There are shows and storytimes throughout the day. The storyteller at Imagine It! is great; he gets the kids involved in the story and they are mesmerized.
Other learning zones are a water table, puppets in a tree house, a complicated plastic ball rollercoaster that kids can manipulate, a food section, a garden exhibit, painting and Moon Sand, and several other exhibits/play areas. My kids have a good time when we go, but the museum is a bit small. If you've been to children's museum in other cities, you may be surprised. However, the good thing about the small, open set-up is that it's easy to watch your children, even if they are at two separate exhibits!
Good to know: There aren't any restaurants within easy walking distance of the museum, unless you want to walk a few blocks to the CNN center, which has a huge food court. You are welcome to bring food into the museum; they have a large lunch area. There are vending machines and a limited-service Chick-fil-A as well.
You can park in any one of a number of lots or parking garages around the museum. Prices vary, but I've usually paid $10 or under. You can also take Marta.
That's great, I wonder if Target does that in other cities? I will have to tell my sister about that and have her check into museums in Boston or Manchester.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they do, but Target does a lot of community service stuff. I hope your sister can find a free day to go!
