If you’re looking for something extra on your weekend day trips from Atlanta, then you might want to pay Babyland General Hospital a visit. Birthplace to everyone’s favorite dolls from the 80’s otherwise known as the Cabbage Patch Kids, Babyland is novelty hospital, showroom, and store that will ring your geek bell if you were a fan of the craze. I was born in 1980 and grew up with these dolls, so you can imagine my geek flag was flying pretty high.
