The Fulton library has…read morea free pass you can check out for up to 4 people which is great but it is otherwise affordable. I would budget at least 2 hours here or as many as 3 if your kids are going to interact with the butterflies and the turtles and do the scavenger hunt as mine did. The indoor exhibit is small but charming and there are a few native species around. The downstairs education center also does a scavenger hunt every month which is really cool. They've done an amazing job of "gamifying" nature/science learning with their points based rewards system and natural objects exchange. We learned a lot about butterflies and caterpillars on our quest. The points thing goes a long way to motivating little ones that may be more skeptical about "learning" experiences and museums. But if you have kids who are more active and will walk, the variety of local trails contained within the nature center is quite nice. I would recommend coming here for adults without kids too for this reason. I heard there were little fairy houses somewhere too here but. I didn't see them. We saw the beaver, a variety of different birds including hawks and owls, and tons of other local animals. It was cool to see how intentional the design was of the outdoor sections and the map they give you at the gift shop/ticket counter is helpful. I also like how they have lots of play areas built in outside for kids to explore in a less structured way. They also have some nice picnic spots. Staff were friendly and helpful. "Feeding" (with the little sugar sticks) the butterflies was fantastic. Even on a hot summer day, I'm super glad we came and if it wasn't so far from where I lived I would attend more regularly/become a member.

It is impossible to visit during the summer months it is just wicked hot and no real place to escape once you start exploring. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather so we can visit again! There is a ton to see and plenty of space to get all the energy out. It really is a beautiful property and I love that it connects to the boardwalk with a walkway! The animals are cute! The beavers are a favorite in our house!

The Stallings foster and exude excellence in their teachings in acting and in life. The wisdom the AWP teachers impart to all their students is unparalleled. The kindness and joy that AWP shares with their students is infectious, creating a community of supportive and inclusive, wildly talented actors who love what they do whilst growing exponentially in the field of acting and in life. AWP gives every actor the opportunity to express themselves in every aspect of the performing arts. AWP celebrates every student and especially what makes them unique. MAJOR UNEXPECTED BONUS....this exuberant experience is also enjoyed by the families of the students which is unique to AWP! This acting school embraces the student's entire family, guiding them along the way, educating them, so parents and siblings can best support the students and help them achieve their goals, all whilst having the time of their lives. AWP creates an engaging, non-competitive environment, where students can lean on one another, celebrate one another's achievements and build life-long friendships. Within AWPs 45-year history, this non-profit acting school has alumni and current students located all over the nation and internationally. These exceptional artists are successful working actors and more importantly, marvelously kind human beings. AWP is much more than a place to take acting classes. It's a community for the entire family. AWPs distinguished acting coaches share a wealth of experience and wisdom with their students, celebrating their growth and challenging them to strive even higher in a supportive and motivating environment. AWPs classes create opportunities to showcase for agents, casting directors and managers. AWP also creates original live ticketed shows from Improv to Cabarets to Musicals to Summer Camps and more, giving the students year-round opportunities to perform for the community in the AWP Black Box Theatre. If that wasn't enough....AWP also takes their students and families on Week-Long Intensive Workshop Trips as a sensational way to level-up, see the world, grow closer to and meet more of the AWP community of actors and families. AWP travels to Los Angeles, New York and the Caribbean to learn from industry professionals, tour studios, be part of live studio-audiences, see the world, build life-long friendships, and grow as an actor and a person. We are so grateful to the Stallings for creating the Atlanta Workshop Players and for all they give to the world. They absolutely live by "leave every place and person, better than you found them".

The directors of the studio- Lynn and Don- have created such a positive, encouraging, and uplifting space. One where everyone feels safe, comfortable, and welcome. It's truly a beautiful thing!

20/20 is hindsight here... this is lengthy…read more In mid-July of 2019, a foster child was placed in my home. You can imagine my anxiety and stress at the time, but when I got a call from Cynthia saying that I can enroll my kiddo in their GA Pre-K program, it was such a relief. Paperwork completed, court docs submitted to the school, hastey orientation/open house provided... the school year was rocky, but with a lot of patience and support from Ms. Lisa and Binal, we made it through to March 2020... COVID 19. Honestly, Ms. Lisa and Binal are why I am giving two stars instead of just one. Bright from the Start categorizes our students based upon their socio economic status and needs. This is done behind the scene's and is the provider's responsibility to request adequate documentation and properly categorize the kids when reporting to the state. Needless to say, my foster child was miscategorized. I was charged monthly for meals which the state/federal gov would have provided at no expense to me, if this clerical error did not occur. I found this out when applying for much needed aid during this pandemic. Again, due to this error, my Child did not qualify. I spoke with the DOE along with the Department of Human Services, and because the reports were submitted in error, there is no way to correct my student's record. After finding all of this out, I requested a full refund and the value of the aid lost. I emailed Tiffany, Brittney, Cynthia and their Bright from the Start Rep. I followed up, requesting a corporate contact... no response. I contacted the corporate office's generic number and recruiter and left messages. After a month of no response, I emailed the CEO and CFO of Spring Education, whose name I pulled from the secretary of state's website, along with the school administrators. I FINALLY received a response. This response was from corporate's counsel & yes, all blame is being put on me. I didn't provide the documents needed to properly categorize my Child, and apparently, I was asked "repeatedly" for it. A blatant lie. If you are thinking of enrolling in the GA Pre-K Program here and your Child has an IEP or is on MediCaid, do not. The administrators of the school are not familiar with the services available and are clueless when it comes to Public Education Programs.

I agree with most of the negative comments already listed. My experience started out positive but…read moredeclined rapidly due to poor communications and, more importantly, leadership's refusal to put any thought or effort into my needs as a new rider. Make no mistake, this barn is in it to maximize its revenues. After my introductory lesson period was over, they informed me that my cost would double and my lesson time reduced by half (from 1 hour/lesson to 30 minutes) which effectively resulted in a cost 4 times higher per lesson. They assign relatively new riders to horses that are extremely difficult to control (I need to use a whip on my horse to get it to walk on my second lesson? Really?), making the rides frustrating and progress minimal. And the owner has no interest in receiving, let alone acting on, feedback. If you are an experienced rider looking to make some tweaks, perhaps this farm would work for you. But my advice is to stay away if you are a beginner. Which is a shame since the junior staff couldn't be nicer. But since the owner and manager make the decisions and set the tone for your rides, the helpful and kind junior staff just can't make up for all the negatives.
