If you’re like me, then you’re probably always looking for that next geek mood. I’ve been on a mission to find geeky things to do in Atlanta since I moved here from Florida a little over a year ago. I’ve found some pretty cool things around town, as well as fun ways to spend a date night (or day). But, most recently, I found my second most favorite way to geek out in this city, and that’s at the Center for Puppetry Arts. It’s the permanent puppet home of the Dark Crystal, The Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock, and other Jim Henson accolades like the Muppets and Sesame Street. Freaking out yet? Just wait until you see the puppets from the Corpse Bride and Coraline.

I know, freaking cool AF right?

Favorite Geeky Things to do in Atlanta – The Center for Puppetry Arts

I had no idea about the Center for Puppetry Arts until a recent tour I had taken with Atlanta Movie Tours when the guide mentioned that the Labyrinth had an extended exhibit (in addition to their permanent one) on display over the summer. He then mentioned how they also had the Dark Crystal (which is basically where I almost jumped off the coach and ran inside). Seeing this place was a must.

So, I scheduled a visit. But I had no idea just how amazing it would be until I saw it for myself.

Walking through the Jim Henson Exhibit hall was like being warped back into the 80’s. The childhood feels came on super strong, and before I knew it, I had spent three hours just on that side of the museum. You know that moment when you’re geeking out so hard that you know everyone is watching. Get ready for that. You really have to visit this in person to get the full effect, but I’m happy to share my photos with you here.

Sesame Street

If you don’t immediately start hearing “Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away” when you walk into the Sesame Street area, then you need to do the 80’s over. Or at least your childhood.
