Interactive Neighborhood for Kids

If you have small children, be sure to check out Interactive Neighborhood for Kids (INK) in Gainesville, Georgia. It's a hands-on museum that lets children role play in the bank, grocery store, beauty parlor, diner, post office, animal care center, dentist office and radiology lab as well as use their imagination with the trains, fire truck, sheriff's car and stage.

They offer special programs throughout the year. Check their web site for the latest information.

As of this posting (January 2009), admission is $8.

If you like visiting different children's museums, pick one and join at a level that will give you reciprocal membership in the Association of Children's Museums. This will give you free admission at any of the member museums.

Georgia has 3 on the list: Georgia Children's Museum (Macon), Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta (near Centennial Park in Atlanta), and INK. Other museums in nearby states include the Creative Discovery Museum (Chattanooga, TN) and EdVenture Children's Museum (Columbia, SC). We've also enjoyed the Children's Museum of Oak Ridge, TN.
