This is such an amazing place. I learn something new every time I come here. The replicas of the dinosaurs are absolutely amazing. The exhibits are super immersive and so much fun to go through! And it's relatively inexpensive at only 20 per ticket for hours and hours of fun!

Great place to check out with kids. It's free to visit, though I do recommend bringing some cash to donate. They run off donations from the general public, so if you'd like to keep this place (and those like it) running and free to attend, then you must show appreciation through donations. It takes about an hour or less to go through the entire area, without doing one of the shows. The last show starts at 3pm, so you'd have to be there by 230pm to attend. They have various shows and you can see what is playing and at what time online. Please note, tickets are individual per showing. The Science museum is not beside the history museum, so if you want to visit both you will have a decent walk or a 5 minute drive between the two locations. If you're in the area, definitely check it out.
A very nice museum, kid friendly. We also got a free T-shirt. I highly encourage you to give some donations while you’re there to keep the place running. The planetarium is paid and there are shows almost every hour. There is also a butterfly garden as you walk in from the parking lot. Overall plan to spend 1-2 hours here.
This place is great. The sensory exhibit is super informational and well thought out. The outside walking trails are well kept and quite pretty. We hadn't realized how long the Forest trail is and we're quite prepared for it, so be advised that that is not a short walk, but if we had bothered to read our map we would have seen that. The cafeteria is efficient and the prices are fair. Over all I cannot recommend this highly enough, it's really a must see if you find yourself in Atlanta.
Went to see The Black Hole showing at the planetarium. Admission to the center is free, which is excellent! The show was great and we'll structured with a brief tour on the improvements to the planetarium's audio and video system, a tour of the constellations, and then the film itself. The film was very informative and definitely more in depth than watching it on YouTube.
