You’ll find 100 hands-on and interactive science booths at the Exploration Expo. The best part? Entrance to the festival is FREE!

With so much to see and do — you may want to spend the whole day. Food and drink will be available for purchase on site from a variety of food trucks and vendors, and complimentary water will be available at stations throughout the Expo. Feel free to bring a picnic blanket!

The Expo will take place in Piedmont Park near the intersection of 10th Street and Charles Allen Drive, and they strongly suggest you use MARTA, ride shares, the BeltLine etc. You can find parking options here. In past years, the festival has drawn up to 20,000 people…so plan accordingly!
