About this adventure

A timeless Midtown Atlanta holiday tradition, the Center for Puppetry Arts stages its faithful, heartwarming puppet-stage adaptation of the beloved 1964 Rankin/Bass television classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Master puppeteers utilize intricate rod and shadow puppets to bring beloved characters to life right before your eyes—from Rudolph and his glowing red nose to Hermey the Elf who dreams of becoming a dentist, the boisterous prospector Yukon Cornelius, the misfit toys of the Island of Misfit Toys, and the towering Abominable Snow Monster. Every ticket is an all-inclusive 'Signature Experience' that grants full admission not only to the live theater performance, but also to the world-renowned Worlds of Puppetry Museum (featuring the world's most comprehensive collection of Jim Henson's Muppets and Sesame Street characters) and the hands-on Create-A-Puppet Workshop where children build and decorate their very own Rudolph or Bumble hand puppet to take home. Free limited on-site parking is provided behind the center.
