We always wanted to go there being that we've always seen the sign from the highway or passing through. Finally got to go there for Elmo's birthday. The article of the event posted on the AJC was really misleading as far as in leading us to believe that maybe someone in an Elmo suit would be there for pics or someone operating an Elmo puppet. But other than that, there were donuts and a bouncy house. My son enjoyed it. I loved the puppets and seeing some of the exhibits from old and new favorite stop-motion and puppet shows/movies. Not an all lost. The website does say show up 30 mins early prior to getting tickets but FYI, they won't let you in until they officially open. I think it's more of trying to get a decent space and parking (Parking is very limited.) But you will be standing there waiting because they won't let you in early. (we arrived 30 mins early) Staff is super nice and friendly. Facility was pretty well kept and clean (other than the creaking floors you can hear underneath and while walking.) Old building, perhaps? Overall, great place for kids and adults. Next time we will catch a show!
