This is the museum's first major renovation since opening its doors 12 years ago. The museum is designed for children ages 0 to 8, but new features, particularly hands-on STEM projects are aimed at appealing to older kids as well.

Sophia Lamb, 5, and her friend Ruby Lawes, 3, watch as Dr. Gregg Van Laningham conducts a science experiment in the STEM area of the newly designed Children's Museum of Atlanta.

Sterling Johnson, 2, a regular at the Children's Museum of Atlanta plays with building blocks, his new favorite area. The museum officially re-opens Saturday December 12, 2015, after completely revamping the space.

Kids and their parents play in a topographical sand box at the The Children's Museum of Atlanta. The sand changes colors based on the action of the children. Dig a hole and the sand turns blue for water. Pile the sand up and it turns brown to represent a mountain.

The miniature restaurant is a new addition and big hit with the kids at the Children's Museum of Atlanta.
