Atlanta's Creepiest Attraction: The Puppetry Arts Museum 👹
I stumbled upon this museum with decent reviews and decided to check it out—big mistake for the faint-hearted! Tickets are $15/person (online purchase required). The building's cheerful green exterior had me expecting cute, modern puppets... but I was dead wrong. 🎭 The Unsettling Experience Upon entering, a large screen features a woman (let's call her the "Intro Lady") giving a spiel. Due to post-pandemic cuts, only one floor is open—no workshops or theater shows. (Save your visit for later years.) Left Gallery: Part 1: A history of puppetry filled with antique, uncanny dolls that felt like they were watching me. Eerie vintage music played on loop—full-body chills! Part 2: Oversized "Sesame Street"-style puppets (why so big?!). This section honors Jim Henson (America’s puppet master), but the exaggerated scale made them just as creepy. Right Gallery: A tiny room showcasing horror-themed puppets, with behind-the-scenes sketches and FX techniques. Think: Alien-esque creatures staring into your soul. 👻 Final Verdict In two hours, only one other family showed up. I rushed through, too spooked to appreciate the "art." Bring friends—this place will gaslight you into fearing inanimate objects. #AtlantaHorror #PuppetNightmares #NopeMuseum #TravelRegrets #GeorgiaCreeps
