So, I had the privilege to experience Live Jazz at the High Museum and had A TIME! Given the amazing talent of the band that was outdoors and the ambiance that this band generated, most of my time for the event was spent with them. The outdoor band deeply engaged the crowd prompting consistent unified singing and line dancing. Every direction I turned in this area portrayed big smiles and enjoyable movements, relaying great memories were being formed. Although the majority of my time was spent with this band, I did take the time to walk around indoors and witnessed the other band, which elicited a casual, poised ambiance. There was also an opportunity to view the art at the High Museum. Overall, I had a grand time! I would definitely make time to visit Live Jazz at the High, if I am in the area at that time again. I would recommend those in the area at that time to check it out as well.

We happened to be there on the day they were awarding artists at the end of the showcase, so it was really cool to see everyone with their artwork.

They share a parking lot with some popular restaurants and it was a bit of a mess, so just keep that in mind.

Students, Older Adults, Military & Veterans are $8. MODA Members & children up to 11 yrs. old receive free admission. The "Al Dente: The Design of Pasta" Exhibit was on display in 2024. As someone that claims Italian Cuisine as their favorite, this exhibit was a fascinating treat. Some of the highlights were the following: -.Learning about the History of Pasta, First Past Making Factories, Pasta Production, Production of Pasta Design, etc. - Italy's role in Pasta Creation / Development. - Introduction of Various Pasta Machines & Pasta Packaging. - Shapes, Ingredients & other tools used to make pasta. - Pasta Pictures & Pasta-Lover Quotes. -Videos of People Making Signature Pasta & Pasta Dishes Learning about Lasagna, Ravioli & tortellini was wonderful!

Atlanta Botanical Garden continues to be one of my favorite places in Atlanta to visit. It is…read moredefinitely one of my happy places. I love that it's located right in the city, yet you feel so far away. I also really appreciate the membership options they offer. I typically get the single membership, which is well worth it when you consider how many times you can visit and the member-only events they host. This time around, though, I decided to rejoin with an upgrade to the Family Membership ($135 for the year, which covers two adults and children). It comes with four free guest passes, discounts at the gift shop, and options for parking garage passes. They also host member only events, and for the month of September, members get a discount at the garden cafe and restaurant. In addition to seeing all the gorgeous flowers and trees, there is always something going on throughout the year. They host events featuring work by various artists and sculptors throughout the garden, a scarecrow event in the fall, the holiday lights in the winter, and an orchid exhibit in the spring. Another great perk is that your membership gets you discounts at other botanical gardens across the United States. If you love nature and enjoy visiting gardens wherever you travel, I definitely recommend taking advantage of their membership!

With membership we never have to think about the cost and I am guessing that the two of us go enough that we savemoney withthe annual family membership. But there's a lagniappe that the Botanical garden doesn't even mention. Memberships at he Atlanta Botanical Gardens gives reciprocal membership in 350+ gardens around the US and Canada. But was I ever surprised to discover that it includes the Atlanta History Center. We were there Saturday and saved $29 each by belonging to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. I don't know about y'all, but I think that free is a very good price.

It piqued and I decided to take a closer look and it turned out to be a history museum! I wandered in and it was deserted so was unsure of how it was going to be. It turned out to be a beautiful but small museum with a lot of interesting artifacts from Georgia/US history, WWII and also has fragments from the Bodmer Papyrus (worth Googling) There were also a lot of moving letters on display about a board member who had recently passed, Asa Candler VI (descendant of the Coco-Cola founder). Based on the letters, he was a truly wonderful man who had an amazing life and touched a lot of people positively. Condolences to the family.

Millennium Gate Museum was a complete waste of time and money on our most recent trip to Atlanta…read more Coming from Tennessee, I felt this would be a unique and similar experience to the Parthenon Replica in Nashville complete with curated exhibits, art galleries, statues, and a park. However, the entire experience was lacking and felt like a dated, run down tourist trap. Upon arrival the actual monument is beautiful. The park is pretty and has nice views of the city. We paid for admission to the museum which is $12 for General Admission and $10 for Students. Even with the student discount, this felt like an overreach for what we got out of the experience. There was only one worker and there were no other patrons in the museum this day AT ALL. It was very quiet and awkward. The indoor galleries consisted primarily of a long hallway with antique furniture with pictures of random people from Atlanta. The gallery was primarily pictures (that I could see online for free) with descriptions and did not contain many actual artifacts or items to look at. The few cases had weird assortments of items such as plates, buttons, and kitchen utensils. It felt like I was looking through the remains of a yard sale, with many items not even having descriptions. Overall the exhibit did not feel very curated, but rather felt like an odd assortment of someone's old junk put on display. We were unable to see the rooftop conservatory that was advertised online with pretty views of the parks. I feel this should be excluded from the website and marketing for General Admission if it is not accessible and staffed properly. The outdoor spaces are pretty; however, these could be visited for free outside of museum admission and did not require payment. Overall the entire museum took approximately 20 minutes to walk through, and left us feeling scammed. It was awkward walking past the one worker after we quickly walked through what little the museum had to offer. I would not recommend this to anyone and will skip this on our next trip to Atlanta.

Atlanta has many places that form the city's signature and while I cannot quite put my finger on…read moreit, the Woodruff Arts Center is "the" location for me. Ever since moving to metro ATL almost 15 years ago, I have fallen for this area over and over, having visited too many times to count. Knowing barely anything about art in the way that connoisseurs do, I am one of the biggest fans of The High Museum of Art, having been to other art museums like the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Met, MoMA, Louvre, and d'Orsay. Years ago, I regularly volunteered with my youngest sister and now with my own family, we've maintained membership. Besides The High, I love the Alliance Theatre. I held season tickets for the last few years (but skipped this year for obvious reasons). I have seen quite a number of shows at the Alliance and I admire the bravery of the theatre for broaching topics that in some circles are still considered uncomfortable, even taboo. I also love the Theatre for the Very Young series and my young son has seen all the shows of the last few years with eyes of amazement. While not a huge symphony-goer, we have also attended a couple of Music for the Very Young concerts. During AT and my first year of dating, he took me to see a concert of Danny Elfman's film scores, which took my breath away between the incredible musical talent of the symphony orchestra and the visual accompaniment of film clips throughout. If there is one thing that I really, really miss during these nine-plus months of limited outings, it's going to see live performances at the Woodruff. While I am hesitant to predict a full-on return to normalcy next year, I am extremely hopeful (to the point of giddiness) that we will start the process. Here's to the arts and all that they do for our humanity.

The Center for Puppetry Arts is one of those places in Atlanta that I think people overlook, and…read morethey really shouldn't. The exhibits are actually COOL. Not "cute for kids" cool. Genuinely interesting. The Jim Henson Collection alone is worth the visit. Seeing characters and pieces tied to Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth in person hits completely different when you grew up with them. I also really like that the museum goes beyond the familiar stuff. The Global Collection shows puppetry traditions from around the world, so it feels more like an actual museum experience than just a nostalgia stop. Right now they also have Frame by Frame: The Art of Stop-Motion Animation, which takes you behind the scenes of how stop-motion is created. That exhibit runs through December 27, 2026. It's interactive, creative, and just different from the usual Atlanta museum rotation. Adults can enjoy it just as much as kids, especially if you're into art, film, design, or just seeing how things are made. Definitely one of those places that makes you say, "Why haven't I been here sooner?"

The museum also has a tasting room and a gift shop. It's a great place for both adults and kids, and the overall tour was extremely informative and fun. The tasting room had more than 25 flavors of Coca-Cola from around the world. While it was fun to try them all, this was also the most chaotic and busiest room in the museum. The floor was sticky with Coca-Cola that had been spilled at some point, although who knows when! The museum itself can get a little too busy. The gift shop is nice, with plenty of Coca-Cola-themed merchandise, including cutlery, dishes, plush toys, and more. I picked up a couple of magnets.
