12 Best Museums in Atlanta

"This massive emporium of natural novelties is a staple for Atlanta families. Exhibits offer a full exploration of science, nature, human culture, and prehistory (expect to take in real fossils, nature, gems, and artifacts). There's also an IMAX theatre that screens 3D movies as well as a 65-acre old-growth forest that provides fresh air to restless museum-goers. Those who are tight on time should target the Georgia-centric exhibits to understand what makes this museum stand out from the rest of America's natural history museums." - Jennifer Bradley Franklin
