Children's Museum of Atlanta

Play isn't just fun, it's fundamental to childhood development.

Why is play essential for childhood development, and how does the Children's Museum of Atlanta help make it possible?

“Play is not just fun, it’s how children learn, grow, and discover who they are. Every moment at our museum is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and create lasting memories.”

CMA is more than a museum, we're a nonprofit dedicated to bringing play and learning to every child in Atlanta, including those who might not otherwise have access.

Our exhibits invite children to investigate the world around them at their own pace, building curiosity and a love of discovery that lasts a lifetime.

From science to art to storytelling, every experience at CMA is hands-on. Children learn by doing, testing ideas, and seeing what happens.

Play is where creativity is born. Our spaces are designed to spark imaginative thinking and give children the freedom to create without limits.

“Best investment we made this year! Our kids ask to go every weekend, and we don't have to think twice about the cost. Worth every penny.”

Every child deserves the chance to discover, imagine, and grow through the power of play. CMA reaches beyond our walls to bring that opportunity to families across Atlanta.

Free preschool workshops in partnership with United Way, bringing play-based learning to children not enrolled in traditional preschools.
