Head over to the museum’s Giant Screen Theater or grab a bite at the Fernbank Cafe. Don’t forget to explore the outdoors too!

Wander through Fernbank Forest, where you’ll find over 2 miles of paved paths within a 65-acre forest. As you stroll, be on the lookout for various animal species that reside in this area. And don’t miss the Dinosaur Plaza and the adjacent Rain Garden—they’re additional highlights of the outdoor space.
