The leading producing theatre in the southeastern United States, the Alliance Theatre is the resident professional company at the Woodruff Arts Center in Midtown Atlanta. Founded in 1968, it has grown into one of the country's most prominent regional theatres, known for premiering new plays and musicals, many of which have gone on to Broadway and beyond, earning the company a national reputation and a Tony Award for regional theatre excellence. Its principal performance space, the Coca-Cola Sta.....

One of the largest history museums in the country, the Atlanta History Center spreads across a wooded campus in the Buckhead district, combining museum galleries, historic houses, gardens and a vast painting depicting a Civil War battle. Founded in the 1920s, it gathers under one institution the story of Atlanta, the American South and the Civil War, told through immersive exhibits and preserved buildings. The centre grew from a local historical society into a sprawling complex set among garden.....

A handsome art deco landmark in the affluent Buckhead district of Atlanta, the Buckhead Theatre is a historic venue on Roswell Road that has been entertaining the city since 1931. Originally opened as a cinema and known over the decades by several names, the Spanish Baroque and art deco building was restored and reopened as a live-music venue, preserving its ornate facade and period detailing while adapting the interior for concerts and events. The room holds around eighteen hundred people acro.....

More than three hundred kinetic light orbs float and dance over the dance floor - a ceiling installation no other club in America runs. District Atlanta at 269 Armour Drive NE opened in 2016 in a converted 11,700-square-foot warehouse in Armour Yards, the industrial pocket between Piedmont Park and Buckhead, directly across the street from SweetWater Brewing Company. The renovation kept the warehouse bones deliberately raw while installing production that outguns rooms twice its size: the signat.....

Built entirely around the world's most famous building bricks, the LEGO Discovery Center Atlanta is an indoor family attraction tucked inside a major shopping mall in the upscale Buckhead district. Part of an international chain of such centres, it is designed chiefly for younger children and their families, packing a colourful mix of hands-on play areas, gentle rides and brick-built spectacle into a single climate-controlled space. A highlight for many visitors is the miniature cityscape, wher.....

Presence Arena appears in concert-ticketing directories as a live-entertainment and sports venue associated with Atlanta, Georgia, with listings citing concerts, comedy and family shows. Independent, authoritative information about the venue - its capacity, ownership, opening date and operating history - is not readily verifiable, and the limited details available are drawn chiefly from event-listing aggregators rather than an official venue source. The address and contact details that circulate.....

Built around the surprisingly soothing pleasures of slime, the Sloomoo Institute Atlanta is an immersive, sensory experience that elevates a childhood plaything into an entire afternoon of tactile fun. An offshoot of an original venue in New York that drew enormous crowds, the brand has expanded into several American cities with locations devoted to play, design and a vivid, candy-coloured aesthetic that flows from room to room. The visit unfolds as a series of interactive stations. Walls lined.....

David Bowie played a room above a pool hall in Atlanta's first strip mall. Smith's Olde Bar at 1578 Piedmont Avenue NE has run since 1993 in a 1920s commercial strip in Piedmont Heights - the city's oldest shopping centre, built by the Taylor family, whose descendants still owned it when founders Dan Nolen and Mike Reeves moved in. The founders came seasoned: Nolen and Reeves had run the Cotton Club and the Point, and their combined careers touched James Brown, Gregg Allman, Stevie Ray Vaughan .....

The room above the restaurant has been Atlanta's proving ground since 1993. Smith's Olde Bar occupies 10,500 square feet of the historic Morningside strip at 1578 Piedmont Avenue NE - a 1920s Taylor-family property billed as Atlanta's first strip mall - where Dan Nolen and Mike Reeves opened the venue after years running the Cotton Club and the Point. Two stages split the work: the roughly 300-capacity Music Room upstairs, renamed the Mike Reeves Music Room for the late co-founder, and the 100-.....

Atlanta's oldest outdoor music venue was a wartime afterthought - a county commissioner squeezed a bandshell into a park plan, and eighty years of summer nights followed. The amphitheater at 4469 Stella Drive in Chastain Park opened on 20 June 1944 as the North Fulton Park Amphitheatre, modelled on Richmond's Byrd Park bowl after commissioner Troy Green Chastain sent scouts to five cities. Chastain died in 1946 and the park and venue took his name - the identity that stuck through every subsequ.....
