My family and I enjoyed the day at the museum, the exhibition is always changing. The children enjoyed seeing the Dinosaurs and the Children's Interactive room. I enjoyed seeing the fish and shells display. We all had a ball learning about the Arctic and Antarctica along with the Polar Bears and the Penguins. Pros: Something for all ages

I recommend Fernbank Imax. The movies they show are great, I've seen a few. The martini nights are very fun also. Fernback is a great place and its great for all ages.

Sorry to say I have to agree with earlier posters who expect to see a world class history museum and are entirely let down after paying the enterence fee. Yes, the Fernbank boasts a beautifully natural setting. What it does not offer is any type of insightful or intriguing displays, nothing to really draw a visitor in to the vast learning experience that should be offered here. If it were a free museum, I'd call it a draw and enjoy the nice drive up the winding hill and beautiful scenery on the grounds. But it's not and the curator here should really examine what he or she is trying to do. Pros: spectacular setting Cons: overall, a real let down

I love Martinis & IMAX & had to write a review after seeing the fantastic grand canyon one. Martinis & Imax is a perfect date night- especially with the live music & cocktails before the show. I?ve been several times since moving to Atlanta and it's one of my top favorite activities in the city. I actually just attended a beautiful wedding at Fernbank- who knew Fernbank was an ideal location for a wedding ceremony and reception?! The wedding was at the front of the museum overlooking the front lawn, and the reception was in the huge foyer which was perfect for the band & food setup- the bride & groom entered the reception down the gorgeous winding staircase. The band had a perfect setup towards the back of the foyer. I highly recommend Fernbank to any bride-to-be looking for an awesome place to have the wedding & reception. Pros: Great event facility & museum Cons: Wish Martinis & Imax was on Saturdays too

I've seen a couple different films here at the IMAX, and it's quite an experience! You wouldn't believe how huge the screen is. The best kind of films to see here are the ones that are breathtaking in their scenery... The only drawback is that you can get dizzy if you're sensitive, but they tell you ahead of time that you should just look away from the screen and close your eyes. I recommend getting a seat towards the back, because it's pretty much impossible to see most of the screen if you're in the front half of the seating area.

this is a very unfortunate representation of a natural history museum. were are the exhibits? one very large dinosaur skeleton and that about raps up your visit. I am disturbed by the lack of artifacts and exhibits especially after having grown up with natural history museums found in Chicago and Cleveland to base a comparison on. is it lack of funding that prevented this from being a world class natural history museum? I say atlanta should really be able to command better. Pros: beautiful building Cons: lack of exhibits, attractions, over priced

This place has been the same forever. If you've been once you've been a thousand and one times. If you have young children who haven't been this is a great place. The nature trail is great. Make sure you bring water for this adventure. They really need to up grade.

I recently went here on a date night. The martinis and live music were great! The Imax theater after a few cocktails is a fun experience. I recommend it to anyone to give it a try.
