This museum, in a "posh" part of Atlanta is well worth seeing. It's well laid out and the staff and friendly and so proud of their museum. Well worth a visit.

The Fernbank Museum is one of Atlanta's best kept secrets...and it shouldn't be kept that way. There is plenty to do and see, especially for the family.

It's three stories of dinosaurs, live animal demonstrations, exhibits and an Imax theater. A great family experience!

An ideal day out. Either on it's own or in conjunction with the Zoo.
The huge dinosaurs in the main atrium are fabulous. The science room upstairs with giant bubble blowers - (15" across if you get it right!) even keeps the big kids interested. IMAX theatres are always worth a visit. Fun but informative time with your kids. Reasonably well priced.
Obligatory shop and cafe on site.

My husband and I took our four year old grandson to Fernband Museum. Andy (our grandson) is absolutely fascinated with dinosaurs and the museum was everything he wanted, his little imagination just went wild.
We just did not have as much time as we would have liked, so we are looking forward to going back.

I brought my family (wife,6 year old son, 2 year old daughter) to Fernbank specifically for my son to see the dinosaurs. We anticipated a quick trip in to see them and then on to the zoo! We never made it to the zoo! This was such a fun place we just couldn't leave. From the opening moments of looking at the huge dinosaurs to the closing moments of letting the kids play in the upstairs play rooms, we had a great day. We had lunch on the beautiful patio, listening to a lovely lady playing the piano. I highly recommend this place! Try to go on a nice sunny day to take advantage of the patio.
P.S. Great architecture
