Fernbank

WildWoods: AGLOW at Fernbank Museum, definitely lived up to its hype and well worth the 90-minute drive to Atlanta. It was drizzling rain, but it added to the ambiance of it all. We walked through its interactive glowing forest after dark, enveloped with diverse sounds of the forests, meditative tones and radiating glowing lights that followed through with every step and action. My pictures and clips do not do it justice. It was an extraordinary way to finish up Ella's birthday weekend!

Fernbank Museum was great. I am so glad we added it on our list of things to do while in Atlanta. We spent about 2 hours in the museum. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The exhibits were great and informational. Unfortunately, we did not have time to see the movie screenings, however they did seem interesting. We loved walking through WildWoods and Fernbank Forest. It was very relaxing. I would recommend a visit for a relaxing family or solo day.

Beautiful nature preserve lots of ground to cover. Plan ahead 2 hours if you want to cover everything. Well placed sculptures throughout forest. Our walk throughout forest was fun, told ghost stories, playful game of killing Fernbank zombies.. 3D Movie ok. Small playground, tree house and waterfall very comforting on a hot sunny day after nature walk.

This museum is nice. Has 3 lvls of interesting themes and items from bird displays, children's area, 3d theater, dinosaur display and items, a Beautiful outdoor trail and sitting area, culture center, gift shop and more. Apparently, they have an after dark theme for adults that you may want to check out. Overall, it was a good experience.

For two years old kids to eighty years plus elders, this wonderful museum has a lot to offer ...... for enjoyment, for learning, for acquiring knowledge in the areas of science, history, and anthropology. Provides an amazing platform to children to learn with experiments .... in fact, they are good for any age, provided one is wanting to learn. My three years old granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed... so did I and my entire family, and each one of us had learned something new as we came out of this beautiful museum. I think the entry ticket is very high... many, though wanting to visit, may not be able to afford it. A lower priced ticket would make it accessible to many more..... Just an honest suggestion. A must visit.

Museums in general tend to be hit or miss, and sometimes it has nothing to do with the quality of the museum. Some people just don't like history the same way some people don't like math, science, etc. That being said... I love history, and I love science! This museum has something for the intersection of both of those interests. There are several prehistoric exhibits, some related to human history, some physics showcases, the evolution of ecosystems, the works. Now, are these things interesting to everyone? No, not at all. But that doesn't diminish the quality of the museum to those who *do* enjoy it. And quite frankly, I REALLY enjoyed it!
