Took my son, he had a fantastic time. Could have spent the entire day there. The nature trails were great, the exhibits intriguing, and the interactive science was fun.

The outdoor spaces are great, but the exhibits inside are covered in dust, extremely dimly lit, have cobwebs hanging from them, or are very broken (a snake was missing half of its body including the head).

My grandson loves the dinosaurs but I absolutely love the freedom they allow the kids to have as they enjoy playing and learning.

It is a great place to go with your child/ren.. with the ticket you purchase you will get to see one of the movies they are providing in a huge movie theater. Then you have different sections where your child can learn more about nature and animals. They also have a space where the children can play some experimental games. And finally the outside walk through the backside of the museum is the final nice experience you can finish tour day there.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can I do star gazing?

Diana Neufville | Oct 7, 2018
Wade Lehmann | Oct 7, 2018

Due to proximity to downtown, the light pollution will severely limit star viewing. But, if you mean to use the property it is too forested and closes early. They do have a planetarium sometimes though.

How long does your admission last? Or how long would you expect to spend there?

Jacob Taylor | Oct 6, 2020
Fernbank Museum | 3D Theater | Forest | Oct 6, 2020

Tickets are valid through 5pm on the date of your visit, regardless of entry time. Most people spend 2-3 hours but many stay most of the day and some pass through more quickly. Tickets specific for special programs after hours are valid during the event itself, like Fernbank After Dark, which is from 7:30pm-11pm for ages 21+ only. Hope to see you soon!

Fernbank museum of natural history is the best. It has many life size dinos. There are 2 in the lobby that are simply amazing. The argentinasaurus and giganautasaurus. Simply amazing plus many others. Address is 767 Clifton road, Atlanta, ga. It's not downtown. It's out enough that the traffic isn't bad. It's a great follow up to seeing the Georgia aquarium and the whale sharks!
