Chris Thompson, president of the GA Meteorite Association, leads this free 90-minute program on meteorites.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
Connect and Learn: Meteorites! pairs a presentation with physical specimens visitors can examine, adding an object-based part to an evening about meteorites.
Chris Thompson leads the session as president of the GA Meteorite Association. Piedmont Park Conservancy describes the audience as spanning people curious about the solar system and those with a serious interest, so the program is not presented as specialist-only.
The announced subject is meteorites generally; the listing does not name particular specimen types or a narrower scientific question. Visitors hoping to see a specific kind of meteorite should treat that as unconfirmed.

The park names Midtown and Arts Center as nearby MARTA stations. From Midtown, its directions lead along 10th Street to Piedmont Avenue and the park’s 12th or 14th Street gates. From Arts Center, they direct walkers south on West Peachtree Street, then east on 14th Street to the park entrance. These are directions to park entrances, not the Community Center.
Bus Route 7 travels north and south along Monroe Drive, with access near the Monroe Drive entrance and 10th Street. Route 11 runs along 10th Street and through Virginia-Highland, with access near the Charles Allen entrance. The park says both typically run every 30 minutes on weekdays and weekends; check current MARTA schedules before traveling.
The park lists gates at 12th or 14th Street off Piedmont Avenue and the Charles Allen Gate off 10th Street. The Atlanta BeltLine connects to the park near Piedmont Commons at its north end and at 10th Street and Monroe Drive at its south end. These are park access points; the event listing does not specify a route from them to the Community Center.
A central garage shared with the Atlanta Botanical Garden is at 1322 Monroe Drive, just beyond Monroe Drive and Worchester Drive NE. The garage is cashless and accepts credit or debit cards; the park says rates are typically based on time spent there and the first 30 minutes are free. Park access is on the garage’s lowest floor. The directions page does not provide a route from the garage to the Community Center.
