Planning your time around a show

When deciding which nearby attractions to include with your Fabulous Fox Theatre tickets, start by estimating how much free time you will have before or after the performance. Attractions within about 200–300 meters, such as the James J. Andrews memorial or segments of Old Fourth Ward park closest to the theatre, work for very short windows where you mainly want a brief walk. Public artworks and parks in the 400–900 meter range, including Wind Chime Brasso Profundo, I Found my Future in the Wind, Renaissance Park, or the Georgia Institute of Technology Historic District, are better suited to a more relaxed schedule when you are comfortable with a longer walk. For any museum or structured attraction, like the Science and Technology Museum of Atlanta, confirm hours, entry requirements, and any timed-entry policies directly with the venue so you can avoid conflicts with your showtime.
