Fernbank Science Center
Come on the weekday crowds are very low. This is a fantastic place for kids between ages of 6 to 12.
Overall, there is a lot to read and a lot to do here for a good half of a day. The Georgia history section is fantastic and does a lot of wonderful natural history. The kids enjoyed the activities on the third floor like the science center where they got to do experiments and also the play area which was an underwater theme.
Outside is spacious and has a lot of fun activities for kids again.
The IMAX theater was good. Definitely get there about 15 minutes ahead of time. We saw the T-Rex exhibit, I did not enjoy it so much but the kids loved it.

Mary Mac's Tea Room
I really wanted to give this place 10 stars. I’ve been here about three times over my life. You will always wait in a line to eat here on the weekends. There is no good time, so no need to ask.
We only waited for 10 minutes on Sunday after a fox show. The waiting list can be viewed on the yelp app which makes things very nice, and you were able to watch your position in line.
Inside the place is not changed in 60 years. Same pictures on the wall same tables, same thing I think. It’s very comforting and very nice. Their menu is heavily slanted to southern style cocktails. Lots of peach!
This visit did not have very good service. I’m afraid. We waited for 21 minutes after we had finished our meal for the check. It was just me and my wife and our 50% occupancy for most of the day. It just really made me a little miffed.
Our server was great in the end. At first, she seemed quite cold and uninterested, but by the end of the meal she was really great and had a wonderful time with her. She never missed a single item on our order!
The last thing I want to say, is that my fried chicken, breast, was Dry a bone. I’ve eaten southern fried chicken probably over 100 times in my life and I’m pretty sure this was just a piece left under the warming lights. It still tasted really good for the most part, but there’s nothing worse than a dry chicken breast, deep fried.
Would definitely come back. I’ve had wonderful experiences here in the past.

Fox Theatre
Saw Hamilton here this review. Have been here at least half a dozen times over 10 years. It is honestly hard to find a bad seat in the entire establishment. The scenery and decoration inside the theater as well as the concession area is top shelf and absolutely beautiful.
Do you go down to the bathroom area after you enter to find concession stands that are empty with no lines!
Parking is always terrible here so be prepared to pay $10-$30 for a spot depending on how close. Highly recommended for in town and out of town. The show was amazing would definitely come back.

Cassidys Pub
I’m going to start out this review by saying that the nachos are worth the visit in and of themselves. Probably some of the best nachos I’ve had in a couple of years. It tasted like there was homemade tortillas
We sat at the window in the girls behind the bar were incredibly quick friendly, and checked up on us several times.
The bathrooms were clean, and there was plenty of hilarious writing on the walls to read.
We went during happy hour, and the drinks for a reasonably priced, and the Irish coffee was excellent for a hot drink on a cold day

AKC Museum of the Dog
My wife has been wanting to come here for over a year. And I reluctantly agreed. I was very glad to do it. The two people (young man and older woman) at the front to greet us were exceptionally nice it’s super enthusiastic. It is apparent that they love their job!!
The digital information boards inside that allows you to tour all kinds of species of dogs was amazing and you could get lost in those for hours. The photographs were beautiful and the second floor is much more interesting with historic information as well as super interesting history about dogs.
There was beautiful amount of historic objects, such as sculptures and drawings from all points in history. I was thoroughly impressed. The library is also pretty impressive with the amount of books that it had.
A+++. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Gift shop is well stocked and has a lot of great choices.
