Atlanta with the Kids
If you find yourself in Atlanta with your kids there are so many things to do you won’t have time for them all. Unless, of course, you live there. Check out some of the great entertainment options such as the Center for Puppetry Arts . You and your kids are going to have a great time. They offer up some great puppet performances such as Paul Bunyan and the Tall Tale Medicine Show, Stellaluna and the Lion, The Mouse and the Other Aesop’s Fables for the little kids. There are shows designed to entertain teenagers and well as some made for adults. They have a museum area that puts a spot light on some of the major puppet designers and puppeteers. Jim Henson is one amazing artist in the puppet business. He is responsible for the creation and acting of world famous puppet shows like The Muppets, Fraggle Rock and Labyrinth. There is also an area to express one inspiration by creating ones very own puppet.
Another, more active way to enjoy your stay with the kids, is to hit the local outdoors. Give the Chattahoochee Outfitters a call. They can take you and your family on a real Chattahoochee River exploration trip. They have all the fun river toys like rafts, kayaks, tubes and pedal boats. It is only minutes for down town Atlanta but it will feel like you are miles away from any major city. Azalea Park spans the river for a few miles and it is a wonderful way to take in the local scenery. They offer up some tours of different lengths to fit your time schedule, budget and ability. If you want someone else to take you down the river than catch a ride on the Roswell Riverboat. There are also bikes available with some lushes green river side paths to ride along.
Your Atlanta hotels concierge will also be able to give you more information on some of the top attractions in the area.
