The admission fee is well worth it. If you are with someone else, do consider the membership option which makes sense.

Schedule a time for the Cyclorama session. This massive painting was moved from Grant Park not too long ago. (Someone needs to inform Georgia DOT since the large sign on interstate 20 still says it s in Grant Park!) It s a sight to see and comes with a staff presentation. Including an explanation of how the hell Ret Butler wiggled his way into it.

Leave time to walk the grounds if it s not too hot.

The exhibits are on point, but you may find yourself enchanted by the book store.

There is a Souper Jenny Cafe which serves awesome soup. Brash coffee is also on there to give you a second wind.
