Why you should go…

Fernbank greets you with some of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered towering over its grand atrium, and keeps the wow going with hands-on science exhibits and a giant-screen theater. The secret weapon is WildWoods, 75 acres of old-growth forest with elevated walkways and nature play areas. Indoors or out, it's a family day that sneaks in the learning.
