Editorial review from KidScore

The Fernbank always has kid-focused programs and temporary exhibits on the calendar, so be sure to check whats there during your visit....

Giant creatures of prehistoric times tower over local natural history displays.

The Scene
The architecture of the 160,000-square-foot museum, located in regal Druid Hills, might be the best attraction. The stunning use of space, on par with Meier's High Museum,...

The largest museum of natural sciences in the Southeast, this architecturally stunning facility borders 65 acres of pristine forest. Architect Graham Gund has achieved a marvelous integration of interior/exterior space: The building, which nearly eclipses the attractions inside, centers on a soaring three-story, sky-lit Great Hall -- an Italianate brick atrium with spiral staircases, lofty...

The city's only Imax theater brings the world to its larger-than-life screen.

It's been many, many years since we visited and my teen requested a visit for spring break. Love the exhibits, the fun interactive info. I had two 16 yo with me. They enjoyed it very much. Loved the outdoor trails.

You'll see more neat and old stuff in your grandmother's attic. Seriously. My aunt has more gems and father-in-law has more arrowheads. "Replicas" of fossils??? Do something else. Anything else.

Went there as it was listed as a place to see when visiting Atlanta. I got the value pack for myself, mom and sister to enter the museum and view a 3D movie. The museum itself was on the underwhelming side, but it wasn’t bad...

I was super excited to go to this museum (I haven't been to a natural history museum in years). It was part of the ATL City Pass (which I totally recommend doing). You walk in and you see the huge dinosaurs skeletons, and I was...

Look Good

Sixty-five acres of undisturbed, mature hardwood forest--perfect for romantic walks--is accessible via a path located at nearby Fernbank Science Center, 156 Heaton Park Drive.

When to Go

Each Friday (except in December) Fernbank hosts Martinis & Imax. Offering soft jazz, Ketel One martinis and gourmet appetizers and entrees, it makes for a great date.

The Extras

Hungry for more than science? You can grab everything from shellfish sandwiches to baked quail to "7 Alarm Chili" in Fernbank's dining room.

Know Before You Go

Friday's Martinis & Imax is a hot ticket in town, so before you show up for a sold-out show, call (404) 929-6400 to reserve tickets.
