During your Atlanta vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Center for Puppetry Arts
Don't miss this place if you're traveling with the kids. In fact, you might not want to miss it even without kids in tow. The center is dedicated to expanding public awareness of puppetry as a fine art and to presenting all of its international and historic forms. Opened in 1978, with Kermit the Frog cutting the official ribbon (he had a little help from the late Jim Henson), it contains a 300-seat theater, a smaller theater, gallery space, and a permanent museum. The puppet shows are marvelous -- sophisticated, riveting, full-stage productions with elaborate scenery. Some are family oriented; others, with nighttime showings, are geared to adults. Call ahead to find out what's on; reservations are essential. You can also call a week or so in advance to enroll yourself or your kids in a puppet-making workshop.The center's permanent exhibit, "Puppets, The Power of Wonder," is stunning, featuring one of the largest and finest puppet collections in North America. The exhibit includes such treasures as ritualistic African figures, Punch and Judy, Henson's Pigs in Space, turn-of-the-century Thai shadow puppets, Indonesian wayang golek puppets used to tell classic stories (a centuries-old tradition), Chinese hand puppets, rod-operated marionettes from all over Europe, original Muppets, pre-Colombian clay puppets that were used in religious ceremonies circa A.D. 1200, and Turkish shadow figures made of dried animal skins. Visitors have the opportunity to use joysticks to manipulate over 350 of these puppets. A video hosted by Jim Henson provides an overview of puppetry and takes visitors around the world to meet masters of the art. Another gallery features visiting exhibits from all over the world. Reservations are required for guided tours of "Puppets, The Power of Wonder"; the tour lasts about an hour.The gift shop is like no other, with oodles of marionettes, one-of-a-kind handmade puppets, masks, videos, and other related items.

Atlanta College of Art Gallery
The Atlanta College of Art, housed in the Woodruff Arts Center complex, features an ongoing series of fine art shows. A recent example: Light Over Ancient Angkor, a photo exhibition of the ruins of the Cambodian city of Angkor. In addition to visiting shows, there are faculty exhibitions, juried student shows, lectures, and concerts here. Call to see what's on when you're in town.

Oakland Cemetery
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this outstanding 88-acre Victorian cemetery was founded in 1850. It survived the Civil War and remained the only cemetery in Atlanta for 34 years. Among the more than 48,000 people buried here are Confederate and Union soldiers (including five Southern generals), prominent families, paupers, governors and mayors, golfing great Bobby Jones, and Gone With the Wind author Margaret Mitchell. There's a Jewish section (consecrated by a temple), a black section (dating from segregation days), and a potter's field (a section for unknown or poor people). Two monuments honor the Confederate war dead. Standing at the marker that commemorates the Great Locomotive Chase, you can see the trees from which the Yankee raiders were hanged; the Confederate train conductor Captain William Fuller is buried nearby. The cemetery is not only famous for historical reasons, but also because it is a virtual outdoor museum of Gothic and classical-revival mausolea, bronze urns, stained glass, and Victorian statuary.Almost every grave has a story. Real-estate tycoon Jasper Newton Smith had a life-size statue of himself erected on his grave so he could watch the city's goings-on into eternity. (The sculptor originally gave Smith a tie, but Smith, who never wore one, refused to pay for the piece until the tie was chiseled off.) Dr. James Nissen, Oakland's first burial, feared being buried alive; his will asked that his jugular vein be severed prior to interment. And John Morgan Dye was a baby who died during the siege of Atlanta; his mother walked through the raging battle to the cemetery carrying the small corpse. The smallest grave, however, is that of "Tweet," a pet mockingbird buried in his family's lot.A 5-year $15 million restoration aimed at reviving the cemetery as a park got underway in early 2003, and Atlanta residents certainly seem to be taking to the idea -- dozens of people jog and walk on the rolling terrain every day, and picnickers are a common sight. Leashed pets are welcome.Though you can visit whenever the cemetery is open, try to come when you can take a guided tour. It's a fascinating way to learn about the history of the graveyard and about graveyard symbolism (a lopped-tree-trunk marker indicates a life cut short or goals unachieved, rocks on a grave denote a life built on a solid foundation, a shell means resurrection, and so on). Every October, there's a celebration to commemorate the cemetery's founding, with turn-of-the-century music, food, and storytelling.

W Atlanta
Pampering the modern business or leisure traveler is the goal of the helpful staff at this boutique hotel. Though it's 20 minutes away from the shopping, dining, and nightlife of the famed Buckhead area, the W Atlanta is a convenient location if your plans include a trip to the World of Coca Cola or the IMAX Theater. Minimalist, light, and very chic, W Atlanta draws Atlanta's discerning business traveler with many business-minded amenities and impeccable service. In fact, the service is tellingly named the Whatever/Whenever Service, and offers just what it says. Where to dine in Buckhead? Any Braves tickets left for the game tonight? Ask and you shall receive.Guest rooms stand well against the pricier Buckhead options and offer a minimalist, boutique hotel look, featuring sleek blond furniture and chrome accents. Whether you're in town for work or play, slow down long enough to enjoy the Rainforest shower and Aveda bath products in every bathroom, as well as the bedroom's pillow-top mattresses with goose down comforters and pillows. Those planning an extended stay might want to request a room with a full kitchen. Perhaps the staff was in a partying mood during our visit, but the elevators were dark and boomed with loud dance music. Corridors were also darkly lit.

Laurel Hill Bed and Breakfast
0This private urban retreat is about as delightful as they come, with a host to match. Laurel Hill Bed and Breakfast is actually two individual houses -- Dudley House and Agnew House -- both perched high above the street. Named for the laurel that grows wild on the property, the venture is the result of a lot of hard work. Innkeeper Dave Hinman lived in one of the homes for about 15 years. When the house next door -- a mirror image of his own -- became available, he purchased it and renovated both English Tudors to create a B&B.In addition to revamping the two warm and inviting homes, Hinman created a wonderful outdoor environment on the hill rising behind the B&B. Here, winding paths lead you up through the property to secluded and tranquil seating areas -- perfect places for reflecting quietly and enjoying a relaxing moment. The property's highest point looks out from among native Georgia Oaks and Pines, providing an eagle eye view of the quaint Lake Claire historic neighborhood.Dave does the cooking himself. Individually prepared full American breakfasts are served each morning on an open schedule, beginning with the first request and ending with a relaxed last call at 11am. Mouthwatering deserts are featured each afternoon in Agnew House only and on most Saturdays, a relaxed Dave serves his "Southern Afternoon Tea." The dining environment is relaxing and enjoyable, and Dave seems to have a knack for knowing when you'd like to chat and when you just want to enjoy some time alone or with your traveling companion.Five suites are available between the two houses, including two suites with Jacuzzi baths and double showers. Luxuriously soft Ralph Lauren linens can be found everywhere from the bed sheets to the towels, and fresh flowers and beautiful antiques add to the relaxing atmosphere. Lake Claire is in a central location, so there are many attractions and restaurants to explore in the area. Or you can just linger around Laurel Hill and enjoy.

Marriott Evergreen Conference Resort
Geared primarily to business groups, Evergreen is also a good choice for vacationing families who want to take advantage of the activities in Stone Mountain Park. Recently expanded, this turreted stucco lakefront "castle" is nestled in a fragrant pine forest. The large, luxuriously appointed rooms have balconies, and lakeview rooms are available. Suites boast a lovely spacious bedroom; however, those who wind up on the uncomfortable pullout couch in the living room may be in for a restless night.Facilities: Restaurant; Starbucks; indoor swimming pool; kiddie pool; large outdoor pool; 2 18-hole championship golf courses; 16 tennis courts; 24-hr. fitness center; Jacuzzi; concierge (who sells tickets to all park attractions); airport shuttle on request; full business/meeting facilities; 24-hr. room service.
