The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the immersive world of puppetry. The museum exhibits are fascinating, and we had the chance to see some of our childhood favorites like Kermit the Frog and Big Bird, as well as the incredible characters from The Dark Crystal. The collection is extensive and beautifully curated, offering a deeper understanding of the artistry and history of puppetry.

The interactive experiences were a lot of fun, especially for kids and anyone young at heart. It was a joy to see the puppets up close and learn about the craftsmanship that brings them to life.

Our only minor gripe is that they don’t accept cash, which felt a bit inconvenient, especially when we wanted to support a place so they did not incur merchant fees. It was lost on them that anyone would want to do this. ODD. But honestly, that small issue didn’t take away from the overall experience.

The performances were also a highlight, and we were thoroughly entertained throughout our visit. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making it clear that they’re passionate about the craft. Whether you’re a lifelong puppetry fan or just looking for something unique to do in Atlanta, the Center for Puppetry Arts is a must-visit. We left thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back!
