Fernbank Museum of Natural History
The Southeast's premiere natural history museum is also home to the world's largest dinosaurs, the Giganotosaurus, the world's largest meat eater, and the Argentinosaurus, the largest of all dinosaurs. Fernbank Museum of Natural History is the only place in the world where you can see these gigantic skeletal art pieces displayed. Fernbank Museum of Natural History is an undeniable place of wonder, which transports you through time and takes you to the distant corners of the world through amazing IMAX Films, fascinating exhibits, and imaginative natural artifacts.
Take "A Walk Through Time in Georgia" and watch an imaginative recreation of life in the biggest state East of the Mississippi River. Meander through the Georgia Piedmont and the Plains taking in the natural wildlife and sounds of the area, including the surreal re-creation of dusk in the Okefenokee Swamp. So real, you'll look twice going past the alligators.
From the moment you walk into the museum you will be amazed at the beauty and grandeur, a mere glimpse at the floor will have you in awe as you walk on 40,000 limestone tiles imbedded with fossils from the Solnhofen Quarry in Bavaria, Germany. Many of these fossils date back between 150-180 million years ago. The museum also maintains amazing permanent exhibits, which introduce children and adults to a spectrum of scientific wonders, showcase jewelry and rare artifacts from across the globe, and give you an up-close look at the world of shells and a 900 gallon living coral reef aquarium.
Along with the many sights and sensational displays from our natural world, you will also be entertained by the award-winning IMAX films shown at the museum. Visit remote lands and penetrate the mysteries of life, science, and nature as you experience the magic of IMAX and the art of fine documentary filmmaking.
