Fernbank Museum of Natural History

Nestled in the heart of Fernbank Forest, a restored old-growth forest in northeast Atlanta, the Fernbank Museum of Natural History offers a classic field-trip experience for local children and curious visitors alike. The museum houses an array of natural science exhibits, including dinosaur skeletons, a saltwater aquarium, and live animal habitats. A giant-screen theater showcases science-based documentaries, while outdoors, an elevated forest walkway called WildWoods invites exploration. Visitors can immerse themselves in the natural world, both inside the museum and along the scenic trails that wind through the surrounding forest.
