Fun!
by kbellis at Citysearch
A great place to take the kids on a rainy day. Also a great attraction for your nieces and nephews. Be sure to sit as close to the front as possible so you can really see the puppets.

A potpourri of puppetry for kids and adults alike.

Overview
One of the largest organizations in the U.S. devoted to puppetry, the center is home to a museum, gallery, two theaters, workshop areas and a gift shop. Lovers of theater, puppetry and good museums should put it at the top of their list of places to visit.
The Experience
There are two kinds of shows, the daytime Family Series and the evening New Directions Series. The first puts a new spin on favorite classics, with an optional Create-a-Puppet Workshop before and after each show. The daring, always provocative New Directions Series offers puppetry for adults only. Center puppeteers and both national and international companies stage all performances. Don't miss the incredible interactive exhibit, "Puppets: The Power of Wonder," which includes more than 350 puppets as famous and diverse as Punch and Judy, Muppet Dr. Strangepork and Skeksis from "Dark Crystal." Traveling exhibits, often internationally themed, complement the museum's offerings.

Top Atlanta Attraction
by ebergman_citysearch at Citysearch
The exhibits are engaging. The shows are fun. Kids love it and adults enjoy it just as much. I took my young nieces to a production of Aladdin and they watched wide-eyed for the entire show. The center also puts on shows in the evenings for adults. And, I hear, this is great place for a children's birthday party.

Not just for kids
by erinbehan_citysearch at Citysearch
Don't let the preconceived notion that puppets are just for children keep you from one of the shows. The center has dedicated much of its time to adult programming, which never fails to be innovative and challenging. You'll find that the interactive puppet museum engages adults just as much as children (sometimes more).
