It is nice to visit a local facility and not have to wait in lines. The facility is well kept, moderately priced and eager for those willing to learn. The hands on functions on the "upper level" were the highlight of the day. Old or young you will learn something while visiting this facility. THUMBS UP!

Always a Good Time!

Fernbank is very popular with my family, and has been for years. The hands on discovery rooms are a great destination for young children on rainy afternoons, and a great chance to meet other area parents. The main exibit, A Walk Through Time in Georgia, is popular with all of my children(3,5&6). The ancient seas gallery is always a big hit as ...

Older Kids

Fernbank is great for older children. There are other places to take younger children. However, young kids always love the Dinosaur exibits. Weekends are the best time to visit Fernbank. Also, a great place to take a child doing a project. They get a little more hands on learning.

The entire museum was filled with so called "artifacts" It was all recreated to be what it would look like back in the era you were looking at. There was nothing there that was a real artifact. The best part of the museum was the hands on and most of that stuff was broken... Would not recommend for the 12.50 it takes to get in.
Great place, had children 9 and 6 with us, and they loved the 2 play/hands on areas for kids. Didn't think we'd be able to get them out of there. The staff was great explaining things to us and the kids. As a whole the building was clean and well maintained. Very easy to get around and very open. I would recomnd it to anyone with an afternoon free.

Personally i thought that it was a great place! It's perfect for a date bc you can eat dinner, have drinks and watch a movie all in one stop. The music is great, and the food is excellent. We saw the Amazon when we went, and i want to go back to see the other movies! I def recommend this place

Fernbank is an excellent place to take your family. The exhibits are well designed and thought-provoking. From IMAX to old bones, to beautiful old-growth forest, there's something for the whole family
