There’s always something fun to do in Atlanta, even on Tuesday. Here are some ideas which include taking advantage of a discounted ticket price for the Georgia Aquarium or getting a chance to see some terrific live music in a cozy venue.
IMAGINATION NIGHTS AT THE GEORGIA AQUARIUM
Head to the Georgia Aquarium after 4 p.m. to enjoy shorter lines, smaller crowds – and a nicely reduced ticket price, with savings of over 30 percent off regular ticket prices. Imagination Night allows you to enjoy full access to the Aquarium, including the opportunity to view dolphin and sea lion presentations. Open Tuesday until 9 p.m. $26.95. Children 2 and under free. Note: tickets for Imagination Nights must be purchased online or by calling 404-581-4000.Georgia Aquarium, 225 Baker St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-581-4000, www.georgiaaquarium.org.
“WINNIE-THE-POOH: EXPLORING A CLASSIC” AT THE HIGH MUSEUM OF ART
The story of the birth and miraculous rise of the bear’s empire is part of a new exhibit at the High Museum of Art, “Winnie-the-Pooh: Exploring a Classic.”
But Pooh had humble beginnings in a children’s book by A.A. Milne, with somewhat scruffy pen-and-ink drawings by E.H. Shepard.
The exhibit of more than 200 objects will include ore than 80 of E.H Shepard’s original pencil and pen-and-ink drawings for the four Pooh books, replicas of Christopher Robin Milne’s stuffed animals, which inspired characters in the stories and a handwritten 1926 letter from Milne to Shepard and photographs of the Milne family. Note: a musical version of A.A. Milne’s stories, “Winnie-the-Pooh,” created by the Alliance Theatre, will perform the show June 7-July 1 in the Rich Auditorium.
“Winnie-the-Pooh: Exploring a Classic” Through Sept. 2. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday. $14.50, ages 6 and older; free for children 5 and younger and members. High Museum of Art, 1280 Peachtree St., Atlanta. 404-733-4400, high.org.
