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.

But how can you focus on folding your napkin and chewing with your mouth closed when there’s an apatosaurus munching on your salad and pterodactyls swarming your soup? You can’t! Get ready to find out how even the simplest day-to-day task can turn into an epic dino-tastic adventure that will leave little ones laughing and roaring for more. ⭐️ FREE copies of "Dinosaur!" will be available at Security following the storytime, while supplies last! 🔗 Book your tickets today!

We are gearing up to wish “bon voyage” to the legendary Ball Machine! 🟠 👋😀 The Museum is debuting a new and improved kinetic interactive exhibit in Fall 2027. To make way for this new experience, the beloved ball machine will be disassembled and removed from the floor beginning on August 3. 👋 You have just a few short weeks to come help us send the Ball Machine off in style. Come celebrate it in the best way possible, with a day of play! ⭐️ The Museum is hosting series of pop-up exhibits between the demolition and the debut of the new exhibit, kicking off September 5 when Outside the Box returns! 📦 Plan your visit today! Book tickets using the link in bio.
