Incredible, quaint, museum…read more It's worth paying for but...it's free?! The space is cavernous for how small the building is. The walls are stark white and the lighting is bright. I'm not expert when it comes to art, but I really enjoyed everything they had on display here. They were also having a fun Halloween event in the back where you could tour artist studios. They also have lots of cheeky merch. I would definitely return!

We did this tour as part of the month-long (during March) Phoenix Flies set of tours. Hence it was…read morefree, though I believe the Wren's Nest does offer tours year round for a fee. This place has a somewhat special significance for me. I first toured it (I think) as a child in the 1970s. However, its importance extends further back than that. My father lived in the area in the late 1920s and attended school about a block away. Even then, this was a library / museum. I'm fairly sure he would have seen this as a roughly 9-year old. It is rare to have a family connection like that to a specific museum... We arrived for the tour and were seated in one of the front rooms. The guide gave an overview of Joel Chandler Harris and the property. She also noted when it became a museum, etc. I will pause here and offer my opinions on the owner / author. I understand why Disney chose to withdraw 'Song of the South' from distribution. On the other hand, it makes me sad that what is being lost is (in some respects) the collective wisdom of the generations of Africans and slaves whose oral history this represents. Do I think that Disney's cartoon is as good way to represent this? No. Do I think that the oral histories had valuable lessons, amassed over countless generations, to communicate to the present day? Yes. The fundamental concepts of things like 'the tar baby' or 'the briar patch' are universal and timeless. To cancel the ideas via cancelling the stereotypes does (in my opinion) a disservice to the past generations whose stories these were. The lessons themselves are *so* instructive and applicable to everyday situations. It would have been fantastic had Joel Chandler Harris donated some % of his proceeds of the Uncle Remus Stories to some sort of foundation to assist descendants of those from whom he heard the stories. That he did not choose to, though, should not invalidate the wisdom of the stories themselves. It disrespects the original storytellers, IMO. Anyway... The house tour covers the entire ground floor. This was expanded from an original small farmhouse to include multiple bedrooms for Harris' expanding family. I also enjoyed some of the architectural details (especially some of the wallpaper) and the sculptures related to the stories. They even had some tobacco containers in the shape of hares and foxes. I think this is a highly worthwhile tour, whenever you opt to take it. They do have parking on site along the side of the house.'

Visiting the Wrens Nest is like a step back in time. For me, being a Black Woman, this is NOT…read morealways the experience I want to have. However I must give this owner a rating and kudos on their care in preserving the family history and opening this venue to up to the community. This venue has an awesome backyard "amiptheater" / stage and sound booth which features many music artists throughout the year. Annually we are hosted and attend the Historic West End Neighborhood Concert. This year we heard Vivian Green! The backyard is lovely, offering "just enough" lighting for romantic table settings or grass picnics while enjoying music. Its treated for pests/insects and is like an oasis (very quiet)away from the busy main street of Ralph David Abernathy Blvd. The venue, now has ample parking with the use of a stripped and renovated lot next to the neighboring church. Look out for several Jazz series hosted during the late summer/fall. A billboard notice is usually posted on their grounds, facing the street with the announcements. This is an inclusive space, however some of the rocky paths make it hard to walk, or use a wheel chair. Note: Do not wear stilettos!

We went here on a Groupon which is a sweet deal for two persons around $30 or so. The instructor…read morewas patient and clear and walks around to help as needed. They also have a screen monitor, which is fairly different allowing you to see the painting as it's being done. The location is inside of the North Dekalb Mall across from a furniture store. It's super easy to find. BYOB is a nice touch allowing you to let loose a bit. Plus: they give a birthday gift which is a nice touch. Cons: they play a nice selection of r&b and rap music, but some of it was way too vulgar. I hope they change this is people bring kids. I'd definitely come back again.

I went last night for a painting class. I used a Groupon but when I got there, they had a 2 for 1…read morespecial anyway. Two paintings for $34. We were about 15 minutes late because I didn't realize it was in North Dekalb Mall (near the movie theater, next to the barbershop). When we got there, our teacher Corey wasn't irritated with us for being late. I've been to Dip and Dab but this was different. And not just because of the urban art and Erykah Badu playing in the background. It was more intimate, almost like having a private lesson. We chose our seats & picked our aprons. There was a canvas, paints and brushes already set up. I was skeptical about being able to paint such a complicated piece in two hours. But Corey was patient, answering questions & being as hands on as needed. My piece turned out great and I had a souvenir to take home. People occasionally wander in out of curiosity because its in the mall. Even though walk-ins are welcome I'd check the website. Then you can pick the day you'd like to come based on the painting you like and RSVP. Don't forget the wine!

I loved it! I brought my baby here and we had a great time. They have a beautiful outdoor area that…read moreI really enjoyed. I do wish I could have seen it after dark because I bet the lights make it look even more beautiful! Definitely a great place to bring kids and families. It has more of a fun, family-friendly atmosphere than an adult-oriented vibe, but overall we really enjoyed our visit!

I wouldn't say you could spend your whole day here unless you have younger (say 4 - 9) aged kids who will absolutely love the upstairs jungle playroom and could spend a very long time in there. For older kids there is plenty of real learning that can be done as well as staff doing some show and tell or practical experiments out on the floor for kids to come see. The movie is a few times a day as well and is also pretty cool.

It was my first time visiting the Fernbank Science Center for their "Music Under the Moon" event,…read moreand it was an incredible experience. Inside the planetarium, the domed projection screen displayed the night sky in stunning 10K resolution, featuring a live view of the moon and surrounding stars. As you recline in your seat and look up at the beautiful visuals overhead, classical musicians perform a creative mix of timeless pieces along with arrangements from Star Wars and other contemporary music. The combination of the music and the immersive visuals made the whole experience feel magical. I had a fantastic time and would absolutely return for another show. It is a unique and memorable way to enjoy live music in a truly special setting.

It was also R rated (full frontal nudity, both male and female but not pornographic or gross), with the cast cursing, drinking wine and smoking cigarettes/pot on stage. If you are easily offended, this wouldn't be a good place for you to go. If you are fun and open minded, give it a whirl. They also have a small bar with snacks and basic liquor along with beer/wine. 2 stars for the bathroom situation. It's a LGBTQIA audience so you may end up in a bathroom with a bunch of guys, straight and otherwise (I'm a girl). AWKWARD.. Especially with a mix of stalls and open urinals. And it wasn't just me. Everyone was commenting on it. Overall: I think they are new to the scene and still need to work some kinks out. I do hope the bathroom situation changes..

Folks who run it are super nice and they always have great cocktails flowing, too. But it's the community outreach they do that makes it so amazing. Lifting up queer voices should be the mission of *all* theater but here they walk the walk and talk the talk (and add in a few circle-snaps for good measure). Actually it's not just a shining star of West Midtown; it sets the standard for regional theater in the southeast, period.
