Atlanta Moms: Fernbank NatureQuest – A Must Do!

We had such a great time at Fernbank Museum of Natural History’s new NatureQuest exhibit a couple of weeks ago.  We could have stayed for hours.  Even my 11 year old!  I expected my 4 year old to love it and want to stay but my 11 year old son explored every nook and cranny and could have stayed all night.

Fernbank NatureQuest is a different kind of museum experience–one where children are engaged through over 100 interactive encounters on a journey to explore an immersive, nature-inspired environment. It’s a space filled with live animals, hands-on learning and the thrill of following curiosity’s path. Everywhere you look, there is something to “do.” Games, interactives and live animals are just the beginning! Look, explore, engage, observe, discover, climb, play, learn!

  • The Clubhouse is home base for a variety of activities, including microscopes, books and activity cards.
  • Each ecosystem has a Forestry Sign. Check there to see what discoveries have been made today and then see if you can find them.

My son loved the waterfall and sciency areas while my daughter loved the ‘moving water’, book nook, and the canopy walk.
Fernbank NatureQuest hours are Monday-Saturday 10am – 5pm and Sunday Noon – 5pm
