Fernbank Museum of Natural History
Fernbank Museum
A natural history museum famous for giant dinosaur skeletons, with an outdoor forest trail. It is a top choice for families with children.
The lobby's reconstructed skeletons, including Argentinosaurus, are among the largest dinosaur displays in the United States. Inside, the museum also has 'Journey Through Time,' which tells the natural history of Georgia, an IMAX theater, and a children's discovery area. Outside, the 'Wild Forest' has a treehouse-style viewing platform and trails, where you can learn about the old-growth forest preserved within the city of Atlanta. Admission is about US$25. The museum is in the Druid Hills area and requires a taxi or car.
