Georgia history, up close and curated.

The Story

JJs Playhouse Children's Museum & Gym is a nonprofit organization founded in 2005 to give West Atlanta-area children an interactive place to learn, play, and stay active. Serving families in and around East Point and the broader west metro, it has operated largely as a mobile program while raising funds for a permanent home. The planned facility calls for roughly nine themed hands-on exhibits paired with a fitness area, aimed at children from toddlers through about age twelve, blending traditional children's-museum play with physical activity. The organization has publicized a multimillion-dollar capital campaign to build a 25,000-square-foot museum and gym for the community.
