ATLANTA (May 3, 2017) – With transportation on the brain as Atlantans cope with the ongoing Interstate 85 bridge situation, now is the perfect time for children to learn about other methods of transportation with the “From Here to There” exhibit at Children’s Museum of Atlanta, which closes on May 29! The traveling exhibit developed by the Sciencenter in New York offers 12 interactive stations including the opportunity to ride on a hovercraft, discover how trains travel at lightning speeds through magnetic levitation, as well as operate an authentic canal lock system.
