From April 25-May1 you can score big savings at dozens of different Atlanta area tourist attractions. It’s all being done in conjunction with the 2015 American Alliance of Museums (AAM) Annual Meeting in Atlanta and part of Museum Week. The theme “Discover What’s New,” this first annual Museum Week is designed to invite people to explore the diverse cultural offerings the city has to offer.
“The hope is that thousands of people will take advantage of all the special exhibitions hosted that week,” said Mary Pat Matheson, the executive director of the Atlanta Botanical Garden and the PR & Marketing Chair for the AAM 2015 Annual Meeting. “We encourage people to explore places that are new to them and to expand their understanding of the wealth of choices they have in Atlanta.”
There are so many participating museums having buy one get one free (BOGO) that they all need to be listed. Because you may not be familiar with all of them their website is listed right beside them.

It’s worth pointing out that Tellus Science Museum and Booth Western Art Museum are in Cartersville, about 45 minutes north of Atlanta. However, both of those places are amazing and worth checking out and rival or exceed things ITP.
If that’s not enough Atlanta museum madness then these places have free admission between that same time.
