Metro Atlanta has plenty of family-friendly spots where kids of all ages can play and learn without parents feeling like they’re breaking the bank. Here are three places you need to add to your list.

🎉 Jimmy Carter Library and Museum

This hidden gem right in Atlanta is a great educational way to get the kids out of the house without breaking the bank. They are open Monday through Saturday, and children 16 and under are always free.

🎉 LEGO Discovery Center Atlanta

If your kids love building and hands-on activities then you need to visit LEGO Discovery Center Atlanta in Buckhead. There is truly so much to do there and through the month of September kids get in free with a paid adult ticket.

🎉 High Museum of Art

Spend the day at the High Museum of Art to enjoy colorful galleries, interactive family spaces and so much more. This is perfect for parents who have little ones because kids 5 and under are always free.
