Many events sell out early. Purchasing in advance is always highly recommended.

Be prepared to know which activities you would like to book, your preferred date(s) and time(s) you would like to attend, and your approximate group size.

All guests who enter, including parents, chaperones, and bus drivers, must have a ticket, ticket voucher, or proof of membership.

When in accordance with specific school and group policies, we always prefer parents book ahead with the school. This helps secure your ticket and ensure that you are signed up to share the same experience as your student (plus you get the group rate!).

If you aren’t able to book with the group, we still recommend that you purchase an Individual Ticket ahead of time, as our performances are known to sell out.

Parents and chaperones are encouraged to join in on the fun to help facilitate a great time for their students. Lending a helping hand in the Create-A-Puppet Workshop, laughing along with the Performances, or leading a troop on a Scavenger Hunt through our Museum Galleries are all great ways to foster the experience for your students while having a great time yourself.

We provide FREE, LIMITED PARKING, but school bus riding, carpooling, and public transportation are always encouraged.

Please plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to your first activity’s start time to ensure a timely check-in. *Groups who anticipate a late arrival should contact the Center for Puppetry Arts at 404.873. 3391 to keep us informed of your travels.

Upon arrival, we ask that a designated lead provide an accurate, total headcount for your entire group. This total should include students and adults paid for by the group, but should not include anyone who has purchased a separate, individual ticket directly from The Center for Puppetry Arts.

Our entrance is located off 18th Street, and we provide FREE on-site parking, with a limited number of spaces available. Buses, Motorcoaches, and most oversized vehicles can be accommodated, as space permits. Whenever possible, Staff will be present in the parking lot to help guide your vehicle through our parking lot for safe and efficient unloading and loading. Groups who may need to return to their buses by a certain time should communicate with our Staff to ensure a timely return home. We encourage all groups to remain in contact with their transportation provider and keep them informed of their schedule as necessary.

Out of respect for our individual patrons, other visiting groups, our performers, and Staff, scheduled performances will only be held for late arrivals a maximum of 5 minutes. In the event of a late arrival, we will adjust group schedules to accommodate as much as possible. The Center for Puppetry Arts reserves the right to provide rainchecks and ticket vouchers on a case-by-case basis, and future performance prices and availability are subject to change.

The interactive Create-A-Puppet Workshop™ is prepared as an hour-long experience but can be adjusted to better fit a group’s schedule as needed. To-Go Kits can also be provided to accommodate schedules as necessary. Our educational classroom sizes have a limited capacity, and some groups may be asked to split to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Students, Teachers, and designated Chaperones are given priority entry to the taught workshop and may be asked to help guide students through the Create-A-Puppet Workshop™.

All guests ages two (2) and up are required to have a ticket.

The Center for Puppetry Arts does not issue refunds on unused tickets but may offer rainchecks.
