Center for Puppetry Arts Reviews

Best place to go in Atlanta
The Jim Henson exhibition is awesome especially the labyrinth part

Atlanta, Georgia's best kept secret. Permanent exhibits plus travelling exhibits. Be sure to take the behind-the-scenes tour.

It's totally worth becoming a member. The shows are great!

One of my favorite places on Earth

They always have fun interactive activities planned as well. the tiny door outside is really neat to see as well!

RMy kids (4 & 9 years) love the puppet shows here we've seen a few and it's always a good experience for them. They lived the build a puppet workshop too that is included in the ticket price. You have to buy the tickets ahead of time or they will most likely be sold out though. The museum is not really impressive I wish they had more fun and interactive activities in it also some of the puppets are a little creepy so they scared my 4 year old but still a good and fun thing to do with kids

Great facility:. Museum, theater, workshop, etc. Took grandkids to see Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. They loved it.

nice small museum with a lot of interesting displays. it was one of the few places still opened during the early part of the covid19 pandemic while i was visiting so i am glad we were able to squeeze this quick trip in

Museum cool & the shows great fun for all ages! Like the gift shop merchandise too!

Really fun place to spend the day. So many childhood memories came back during our visit. Behind the scenes look at the puppets and how they are made alive. Activities for the kids too. Has a playground and limited on site parking.

SCAD student need to know about this place. Do you know Jim Henson and Dark cristal? Amazing real references for Sculpting and puppet arts.

My daughter loved the visit. We will become members and visit on a regular basis.

If you love the Muppets, this is must see! But, you should bring your friends who aren't as into the Muppets because it's still a really cool museum.

Crew is always very helpful. Great atmosphere. Took my grandkids there. Now taking my great grandbabies there. A good place for the family.

Everyone loves puppets. They just got an Atlanta tiny door. Super cool.

If you want to visit a museum that is unique, you should see this place. We enjoyed the exhibits here and the performances. We would love to go back again.

Such a great stop! The Jim Henson & Dark Crystal exhibits were excellent. Very informative and featured so many wonderful characters. Also really enjoyed the videos of different performances from around the world. Very intriguing. Would recommend

Great experience, the museum is well curated. Its amazing to see Jim Hansen's work so well presented. Great job guys.

I felt like I was reliving my childhood here! The puppet show was clever but not super exciting. My daughter seemed to like it.

Love this place! GREAT Henson displays from his entire career.

Magical experience for my three year old. The 18 mo old watched the first half then sat in my lap facing me the second half lol but it was a great time!

I really like the puppets and the people were nice; but we paid an arm and a leg for a 1 hour show.

Charlotte's Web was great! Parking is a little tough but the staff was willing to help and guide people.

Very neat take on puppet theatre arts!

Inexpensive. Fun. Instagramable.

Largest collection of Jim Henson stuff in existence. Global puppet collection. Old puppets, new puppets. Dark Crystal and Labyrinth puppets. It's super rad. Go.

Amazing Saturday morning watching old mc Donald farm puppet show. We made the puppet and then they also had patting zoo. Then kids ran to playground. Fun fun fun...oh and the puppet museum. There are puppets from different. Countries as well. Perfect family outing in the city...

Fun place to take kids as an introduction to the arts. We went to see Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer. Classic story professionally recreated.

This place was awesome, great staff who love letting the kids get involved with the puppet. The puppeteers are really passionate about making sure everyone becomes enthralled with the art of puppetry!!! Very cool activity to do as well!!! Don't forget to checkout all the different shows they have!!!

Saw Harold and the Purple Crayon, it was great. Adults should plan to spend three hours at the Museum.

Had a great exhibit for the Dark Crystal by Jim Henson. The history of puppetry arts was fascinating.

delightful and lots of cheap package deals! sweet staff.

We LOVED it! Kid friendly, entertaining, clean and overall a fantastic experience! We saw the farm show and it exceeded my expectations completely. My 10 month old and my 2 year old were so entertained the entire time. We will definitely be back!

Amazing place. The puppets show was outstanding. Very familiar place and great to take kids. Shade puppetry class is great. You build your own shadow puppet and perform. I went with my wife and we enjoy it very much and the museum is very instructive.

What a great experience! Visited to tour the museum and it did not disappoint. The Center has done an amazing job implementing COVID-19 safety measures, providing social distancing markers, flow arrows for touring exhibits, implementing a mask policy, and providing hand sanitizer in each room of the museum. I felt completely safe. They even have a concierge via webcam ready to answer any questions you may have about the museum - how clever! All of the staff were incredibly friendly and it truly shows that they are there to share the art of puppetry with all visitors. Cannot wait to visit again - all exhibits were beautifully curated and it was such a treat to be able to experience the special Dark Crystal exhibit.

Worth the trip, but it seems more for adults than kids.

a magical space that combines theater, education and museum ... the workshops are amazing and have plays for adults and children. must see

Excellent shows! Very fun and educational for kids.

What a fun time! My kid is still singing the songs from the show we watched 2 weeks ago!

A hidden jewelry! I know this place because I went to watch the 30th anniversary show of labyrinth (Dave Bowie!), and in the preshow video they showed us that those puppets are now stored in this museum. The museum is not big, but definite with fun. Especially good for family activities (small kids!)

I live this place and have to stop by everytime I visit Atlanta. It's such a unique and well-ran museum with interesting events and displays. The museum is small, but there is still a lot to read about, interact with, and see. Expect to spend no less than an hour here. On average, I make it through the entire museum in about 2 hours. I'm a huge fan of Jim Henson and primarily come here for the special exhibitions for the Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. I'm never disappointed, as there is always something new to see! The exhibitions are unique and it's so wonderful to see the craftsmanship up close. Coming here is like being transported back to my childhood. I recommend visiting this museum for adults and children, as it can be enjoyed by all ages!
