Your Adventure Starts Here
Find everything you need to make the most of your visit to INKAN AWESOME JOURNEY FROM THE START
Interactive Neighborhood for Kids, Inc. (INK) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Oakwood, Georgia. We are a short drive from Atlanta, Chattanooga, Greenville and other major southeastern cities. Our mission is to encourage children of all ages to develop their full potential through exciting hands-on learning. INK strives, through the exhibits of our Museum, to create a unique environment in which children of all ages, abilities and experience can feel free to imagine, create and explore beyond their dreams.
Tickets

We also offer discounted admission for SNAP benefit holders.
Pottery Studio
Visit INK’s Paint-Your-Own Pottery Studio as an add on activity while visiting the museum.
Hands-on learning goes beyond our exhibits at INK. We believe that young minds are free to roam all aspects of imaginative play, including using their hands to make a new creation. With that in mind, we have built a one-of-a-kind Pottery Studio. Here, children of all ages (even adults) can create their very own bespoke pottery that are glazed and fired onsite to create a lifetime treasure. Items available for painting begin at only $5 and up.
Prices vary depending on the piece of pottery that is being chosen for painting. Please allow several days for items glazed and fired. Shipping available. After-hours pottery events available. Contact us for more information at pottery@inkfun.org
*Adults do not need to be accompanied by a child to enter the Pottery Studio.

Group Visits
Interactive Neighborhood for Kids is a wonderful extension of the classroom.
Our Museum’s exhibits are designed to complement and enhance classroom learning by providing experimental, hands-on learning opportunities in a realistic setting. Educators are given the tools to: encourage hands-on, interactive play, to develop and build new skills, to be eager and curious about learning together. If your group has not been to our Museum – you’re missing a great lifelong learning opportunity! Reserve your trip today!
INK is happy to assist you with your visit. We will help to plan the best date and time for your group. A nonrefundable $50 deposit is required to reserve your trip, which will be applied to your total admissions for the day. Please plan your visit for at least two hours to complete the exhibit areas. Schedule in advance extra time for lunch and/or special activities. We can assist you in adding great activities, such as painting your own pottery or a special arts and craft session.
