Limited-time experiences to check out in Atlanta this summer

Interactive experiences are making themselves at home in Atlanta this summer. From candy to “FRIENDS,” elephants and art, these opportunities provide indoor fun for much-needed breaks from the summer heat:

• The FRIENDS Experience is now open in Perimeter Pointe with complete set recreations, dozens of photo opps and, of course, Central Perk.

• Enter a real-life Candyland at Candytopia in Buckhead.

• Step into a painting at the immersive Van Gogh Experience. The light and sound spectacle is a 360-degree art show.

• Walk off the BeltLine and into Africa at Illuminarium, a cinematic excursion where you’ll feel like you’re on a safari.
