ATLANTA (September 4, 2019) – Families and children are invited to send off summer and ring in the fall at Children’s Museum of Atlanta! This September, little ones will travel around the globe with the Around the World temporary exhibit. After that, kiddos are welcome to get curious with the famous inquisitive monkey himself, at the new traveling exhibit, Curious George: Let’s Get Curious. Future doctors, veterinarians and caretakers also still have until September 8 to participate in the highly-interactive exhibit based on Disney Junior’s Peabody Award-winning television series, “Doc McStuffins.”
