What a wonderful plantation estate to visit! There's plenty of parking and everyone we met there…read morewas super friendly. You begin your tour from the visitors center, where you pay admissions ($5.50 pp for the grounds & $16pp for the main house tour), watch a historical video on the plantation, and view the exhibits. Since we drove up from Panama City Beach, FL we only had time to tour the grounds, not the main house. We spend a couple hours touring the grounds and still didn't see everything. So much to see! The stables were really cool! We met a nice lady feeding the draft horses and she introduced us to all the horses and mules. She told us stories about them...you can tell the animals there are really cared for and loved. The front of the main house and gardens are gorgeous! There are fountains and bird baths throughout. We also enjoyed walking through the family cemetery...nicely manicured and very serene. The dog hospital, nurse's station, and log cabin schoolhouse were buildings we're not used to seeing on plantations. They were all so interesting. Overall we really enjoyed our time here. Would highly recommend!

Southwest Georgia (SOWEGA) and Albany, in particular, often gets a bad rap. Amidst all of the…read morenegativity surrounding the citizens, many people often forget how much attractions the city actually offers. Of course Albany will NEVER be like Atlanta or Savannah in terms of things to do and events to see, but for a population of 100,000 plus there are quite a few gems located here. This, my fellow Yelpers, happens to be one of them. The Thronateeska Heritage Museum is basically a museum of about the history and origins of both Albany and SOWEGA as a whole. There are different types of exhibits that are open only at certain times of the day. Quite a few of the exhibits are geared towards children so this is something that young kids would probably enjoy. There is also a display of old Albany Herald newspaper clippings from way back into the 1890's. Additionally, there is also a science museum here which contains very educational information pertaining to the weather, the 1994 Albany flood, space, etc. all of which are free of charge (though they do accept donations). It doesn't get any better than that. I am somewhat of a historian. You probably couldn't tell upon looking at my black ugly mug, but I do love learning about things that have occurred in the past. It is fascinating to me how much things can change over a period of time. I spent hours reading the different volume of books about the history of Southwest Georgia. The staff were even nice enough to show a video presentation about the rural life of Southwest Georgia. There is a lot of educational value at this museum. If you have kids, this is not a bad place to spend a Saturday afternoon. It's free of charge so NO EXCUSES, lol.

I really enjoyed this museum and I have to start off by saying it definitely deserves five stars …read more The reason I cannot give it five stars is because it was so uncomfortably warm inside that we reached a point where we just had to get out of there. It's a shame because there is so much to see here, but we probably missed out on at least an 1/8 of the museum because we were sweating and felt so icky we just needed to get back out into the fresh air. This was in winter mind you, so saying that it was just too hot outside is no excuse. It was only around 68 degrees at the hottest point of the day we visited and we came in the morning so leaving the museum was literally a breath of fresh air. I cannot imagine how it gets in the summer. Although the temperature made us miss some of the museum, we made sure to get through all the cars before leaving. We spent around 2 hours here and could easily have stayed longer. This is not just a quick walk-through car museum. It's packed wall to wall, upstairs and downstairs, with cars, collectibles, Americana and lots of really unexpected items. I love rare and classic vehicles so seeing a tucker 48 in person was pretty cool. That alone made my day. The Oldsmobile futuramic 88 was another favorite and the limo that had been converted into a train car was just wild in the best way and blew my mind. You definitely don't see cars like this everyday. It's not just cars here though, they had a golden rococo style piano that was to die for! It was absolutely stunning. There were a bunch of gorgeous ornate antique cash registers that I really liked, interesting vintage radios, firearms, law enforcement badges, sports memorabilia and historical stuff like old medical equipment. They had a whole section of model trains and if you're into Batman they have a small section of vehicles dedicated to that. The bathroom was small but tidy and the employees were were quiet and perfunctory. It's also dog friendly, which is lovely but our dog did seem nervous walking on some of the matting on some sections of the floor so just be aware. On its face, this really is a five-star museum but the heat and humidity inside were just unexpected, and it was especially bad upstairs. We were sweating and physically uncomfortable. We really wanted to finish looking at the museum but we just couldn't take it anymore. I really hope they address the climate issue; not just for guests but for the preservation of all the items inside as well. It's was still def worth the $20 per person and I recommend a visit, just dress in layers and maybe start upstairs first.

Attended a showing of a documentary involving a local hero - Purple Heart recipient Colonel…read moreWashington Sanchez, Jr. Great turnout of folks, good conversations, well-done piece of work. The IMAX staff was wonderful; very accommodating. It has been quite a number of years since I last visited the IMAX Theater to catch a show. I didn't remember how cramped the seating was :o), though the seats themselves are comfortable. Once seated, best to stay seated until the show is over; otherwise, it will be quite a task to get out, especially if one is seated in the middle of the row and the row is completely filled. All in all though, aside from the tiny inconvenience regarding the lack of space between seat rows, I think everyone pretty much enjoyed the show and the setting. Note, the documentary is on Youtube as well! I also want to give a "shout out" to Mission BBQ for providing a complimentary meal for those attending the documentary. The food was delicious; the meal consisted of: coleslaw, baked beans with brisket, mac and cheese, sausage, pulled pork, brisket, cornbread, buns - along with tea (sweet and non-sweet), lemonade, and water! Thanks so much Mission BBQ!

Mid-sized IMAX screen, sufficient and comfortable seating, smallish concession stand…read more All in all, just the right size for our population. I've never been to a sold-out event here and, frankly, I often forget this is an option. That said, it's the best screen in the county - and if you're really looking for the larger-than-life experience, this screen yields a beautiful IMAX experience. It's no Warren Theaters IMAX - but then again - there's only one of those (in Wichita, not in NYC!).
