More Info

Please visit the Atlanta Science Festival for more information.

This event is rain or shine, so bring your umbrellas and galoshes, and prepare to experience the joy of science while atmospheric water vapor condenses into liquid water droplets and falls under gravity. In the case of severe weather (>30mph winds, lightning, tornado, etc.), stay tuned to our website and social media channels for event status updates.

Last year’s event drew over 20,000 people, so it’s going to be crowded and parking will be limited. Please consider MARTA, taxi, carpool/rideshare, Beltline, etc.

  • MARTA – use Midtown stop, and walk east along 10th Street into the Park.
  • Parking Garage – The Park shares a parking deck with the Atlanta Botanical Garden and the rate is typically based on the amount of time you spend in the park. The garage is off of Monroe Drive on Worchester Drive, or visitors can enter off Piedmont Avenue at the Atlanta Botanical Garden entrance. The park is accessed from the lowest floor. Address to Parking Garage: 1320 Monroe Drive, Atlanta, GA 30306
