My husband and I enjoyed a Friday date night at the Fernbank Museum. I take the kids to this museum often so an adult after hours experience with cocktails was most enjoyable. We arrived early and found that others had done the same. There were small groups of visitors also gathered in the lobby offering conversation. Downstairs there were indoor... More

Once a month there is a dance social after hours here, really! Salsa dancing under a huge dinosaur skeleton! The museum itself is a gorgeous building in a very out-of-the-way part of town. If following your GPS you will be quite sure it can't be right as your turn past one residential street after another. Then voila! You have reached... More

The museum inside is very modern. The natural history path is well set out. Recommended. We went for the special exhibition of Ghenghis Khan which was good but disappointing on the lack of physical exhibits. We saw an Imax film too which is recommended if there is a suitable one.

Had a blast at Fernbank Awesome displays and Unique and Interesting Animals! Good Food in the Cafe Area Very Friendly and Helpful Staff! Next time your in Atlanta A Must Visit on your to do list!

Being from NY and a fan of museums I was a little disappointed to see that this particular museum was geared towards kids. And I mean the entire thing. I could have handled that alone but that also came with cheesy cardbord displays and a bunch of fake plastic artifacts. i dont think anything was real except for a couple... More
