⚾ More Than Brave: Family Fun at the Atlanta History Center
If you’re looking for an outing that mixes sports history, kid-friendly fun, and even a few farm animals, the Atlanta History Center hits a home run. Their special exhibit More Than Brave: The Life of Henry Aaron is open through September 2025, and it’s a must-see for families.
Why Parents Will Love It
Growing up watching baseball, I was drawn to the history—Hank Aaron’s baseball cards, the glittering trophies, and the goosebump-worthy video of his 715th home run. The exhibit highlights his journey from humble beginnings in Mobile to breaking Babe Ruth’s record in Atlanta, while also showing his impact on civil rights and community leadership.
Why Kids Will Love It
Even toddlers can enjoy this one! My little one was fascinated by:
- The Bobblehead Collection (displayed in a case, but still a quirky and colorful favorite)
- Shiny Trophies (glitter is universal kid magic)
- The 715th Home Run Video (the crowd noise is toddler-approved excitement)
- Baseball Cards (bright and easy to point at)
