Fernbank Museum, Atlanta

I love this museum. There is always something interesting to experience for children and adults. My grandchildren had a fantastic time in the children's play area and loved seeing the dinosaur replica. My favorite part this visit was the tyrannosaurus display with the visual screens. There were 4 of us, we did not use a membership but I highly recommend that you purchase one.

Went to AGlow at Fernbank it was cool. I will say it wasn't exactly what I expected but I still enjoyed it. It was relaxing and pretty cool seeing all the lights and how the forest is transformed at night. I'm not sure how much it costs but I probably wouldn't want to spend over about $10 to $15 per person for it. It took us about 30 minutes to walk through the entire forest. We did not stop for long periods of time. We did not speed walk but we did walk at a normal pace not too slow not too fast .The children enjoyed it a little bit but I think younger children may enjoy it more and may be more excited about it we had a 12 and 13 year old. Overall if you're looking for something different to do it's not a bad place to visit for this event. Also, although it is out around Christmas it has nothing to do with Christmas and it is not Christmas lights.

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.

Really impressed with the quality of the museum. I'm pretty sure anyone can find some value from this venue. It's got all the history of course but interesting displays. The main atrium showcases a huge display of massive dinosaurs and reminds me of the the Smithsonian. There's a nice theater for some modern films talking about you guessed it, history. Kids have plenty of exhibits to take their attention. My favorite spot is the midevil exhibition that has a ton of armor, swords, and other interesting weapons. Outside has a nice trail that's great for kids and adults. The Cafe had a good pizza. Free parking was definitely a perk. We got the city pass for my family of 5 which was around $400. General admission comes with a free film at the large theater. Worth it. We watched the Ireland film. Really appreciated how the film showed how the youth is part of the solution not the problem.

This is a great place to visit if you are in Atlanta. We would have gone a long time ago if I had heard of it then. Three different short movies 25-45 min are available with multiple viewing times. Right now, it’s Ireland (narrated by Liam Neeson, Mountains, and Dinosaurs Antarctica. We watched Mountains on the giant screen and it was great. There are about 2 miles worth of trails outside with a lot to see and tire out the kids. Adventure course for 9-13 age group and a Nature zone indoors for the younger kids. There is also a playground outside as well. Three floors of inside exhibits make for a lot to see. We were there for 3.5hrs and did not see everything outside by the time we left. The pricing seemed a bit expensive but once we saw how much there is to see it was more than worth it. Dinosaurs were a great thing for thee kids to see as well. My personal favorite was the knights area.
