"However, if you would like to find some simple, fun things to do in Atlanta for kids exclusively (more or less), then your two best options are the Children’s Museum of Atlanta, recommended for kids between the ages of 2 and 8, and the Center for Puppetry Arts. The Children’s Museum has its own troupe of professional actors called the Imaginators, who develop entertaining hands-on activities for kids, such as little musicals and other activities that children can participate in and learn while playing."
"The museum at the Center for Puppetry Arts has one of the largest puppetry collections in the United States, with over 350 puppets from all over the world. Exhibits document the art of puppetry and the huge variety of puppet styles that have been created in different periods and places. There are also filmed interviews with puppeteers and a recreation of a puppet storeroom."

"Simply put, this tasty nook predominantly serves up amazing cakes at several Atlanta locations— if you’re really hooked, you can order online!. To each their own, but the Orange Layer Cake is off the hook and flavored with orange juice to mimic a creamsicle-sherbet taste. Peach Pound Cake screams Georgia making it another top pick, and the Cookies n’ Cream flavor melts in your mouth."

"Piece of Cake’s specialty resides in its custom cakes (duh). Roughly 25 flavors are available at any time, and other confectionaries available include cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and more."
"Enduringly-cozy cafe Dr. Bombay’s Underwater Tea Party isn’t a breakfast restaurant so much as a lovely tea house with truly excellent breakfast pastries. If you’re a coffee and sweets kind of breakfast person, this is a fun place to hang out. I love the seasonal pumpkin scones and the laid-back high tea service, which has strong Mad Hatter vibes."
"This Candler Park neighborhood favorite offers freshly brewed coffee, books, homemade pastries and hand-selected teas from around the world. The décor at Dr. Bombay's is a romantic mix of hanging parasols, origami birds and shelves jammed with community books, the perfect backdrop for their popular High Tea."

"For 58 years southerners have been able to count on Waffle House for being open 24-7, keeping the temp low, staffing some pretty fun folks, and serving up breakfast sandwiches, waffles, patty melts, and hash-browns any way you want ‘em (which is a whole lot of ways)."
