Fernbank Museum of Natural History

Hands on learning experience

767 Clifton Road NE
Atlanta, GA 30307
United States
+1 404 929 6300 / +1 404 929 6400

Atlanta's largest museum sits on 140 forested acres just east of downtown. The Great Hall soars 86 feet to a rooftop skylight, and gives way to a labyrinth of halls devoted to the miracle of nature. A 315-seat IMAX theater showcases the world's most dramatic films on its five-story screen, while a comprehensive planetarium makes the heavens easily accessible. Be sure to visit on Fridays for Martinis and IMAX, a trendy cocktail hour followed by a film.
