Ever wondered where the spark of curiosity in a child ignites into a roaring flame of discovery? Welcome to the Children's Museum of Atlanta, a space meticulously crafted to nurture the innate inquisitiveness of young minds through the transformative power of play.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Atlanta, adjacent to the iconic Centennial Olympic Park, the Children's Museum of Atlanta, also known as "Imagine It!" (from 2003 to 2011), stands as a beacon of interactive learning. Founded in 1988 as a "museum without walls," it blossomed into a physical space, opening its doors to the public in 2003. Its primary mission? To provide an engaging and dynamic environment specifically designed for children, particularly those under the age of eight.

This isn't just a museum; it's a vibrant ecosystem where play and education converge. The Children's Museum of Atlanta is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, making it the only educational venue of its kind in Atlanta. Every exhibit, every program, every event is thoughtfully created to create a strong foundation for future learning and behavior.

At its core, the museum believes in the power of play. It understands that young children learn best through hands-on experiences, where exploration and discovery go hand in hand. Whether it's the vibrant continent tables where children explore geography or the interactive exhibits that bring various subjects to life, the museum is a wonderland of learning.

The museum is located at 275 Centennial Olympic Park Dr NW Atlanta, GA 30313, a place easily accessible to all.
