"At the V&A Waterfront, this warehouse concentrates 150 stalls of African-made goods under one industrial roof, a polished counterweight to the mall next door." - Paul Jebara

The Best Dishes to Try at Chef Zeb Stevenson’s Restaurant Redbird at Westside Provisions District, Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"On Peachtree Street, Watershed was an iconic Southern restaurant where, after being brought in by owners Ross Jones and Emily Saliers in 2014, Stevenson breathed new life into the 20-year-old establishment and arguably brought its food to its pinnacle; his success there led Jones to partner with him to open his first restaurant after Watershed was sold to chef Matt Marcus in 2018." - Beth McKibben

A great place to bring kids. Completely free and interactive plus you can a get a tour. There is a cool water feature with meaning behind it about the nearby dams. Parking was easy and there is also a bathroom inside and a nice garden with some interactive features outside as well.

Great for kids of all ages! My 16 month old played here for an hour and a half and loved it. It will just get more fun as she get older! Such an awesome free museum.

Fun place for the kids! It’s free and very well maintained. Lots of interactive activities to keep the children occupied. Highly recommended and would definitely come back again 😊

Although this place was very interactive and fun for kids to learn about the environment, I was in shock of the narrative they were going with here. Trying to tell kids that we can save the environment by using electric cars (even though they aren't from multiple studies), saying conjested apartments are better than single family homes, and encouraging kids to not eat meat and/or join a climate change activist group. I personally cannot agree with any of these. I love our home and want to protect our environment but this is brainwashing our future youth.

Such a fun place for all ages! Went today with a group of moms with kids aged 2-6 and they all had a blast! The outdoor simulated river & water spout feature was a huge hit! Inside activities were very well done & allowed easy explanation for the younger ages kiddos. The outdoor play area had so many fun areas, great outdoor lunch areas too! We’ll definitely be back.

This was great. My son went here on a field trip and when he came home he begged to go back so he can show us everything "that was so cool" there. We had a great day with lots of hands on activities. Lots of fun learning. We'll definitely be back. And best part is it's a free family day. Thanks so much!

One of the best things to do with kids in the valley, and it's free! Check their calendar for their special events which are very informative and interactive. Their educational staff does a great job with facilitating fun and educational activities- we've enjoyed the monthly story time!

Newly renovated, lots of new exhibits and activities to keep the kids occupied for hours and learn about conservation and recycling. Place seems to get busy. Outside has a lot of activities that we didn't try as it was windy and cold. Certainly a great place for kids. They also have tours to teach about water treatment that will be fun to try someday
