Fernbank Forest

Had a great time. It was busy, but you didn't have to really wait for anything. My son chose this for his birthday and he said "he felt like he could just be himself there". Very fun learning environment. Me and my husband hadn't been since we were kids so it was fun to revisit and still get that energy as adults.

Worth the visit. They could use some new lightening on some exhibits though.

We had such a wonderful time. The nature trail was surprisingly good. I do wish they had more dino stuff and real thingsa maybe some animtronic animals . Also some of the displays were vary dark and vary hard to view . But all in all my family had a good time here.

As a member of fernbank museum of natural history, I can say that it's a very nice place and we go there often. It has dinosaurs, a wide variety of animals, playgrounds both inside and out, a movie theater which has some 45 minute movies about different things in earths history. It also has a place called "fantastic forces" which is a place where kids and adults alike can toy around and experiment with different things like earthquakes, quicksand, magnets, electricity, and more. Indoor playground and outdoor, amazing forest trails and more. I highly recommend going to this place on weekends and week days with kids.

I highly recommend visiting Fernbank Forest. So many trails and skywalks to enjoy. There are so many diverse species located in the forest. I couldn’t explore it all in 1 day but I highly recommend visiting this place!!

Enjoyed this museum as a kid and still do as an adult 💕

This place was beautiful. I love the outside walking past. The dinosaur fossils and all the fossilized items that they have inside the museum our mind boggling, breathtaking. It's just really neat to be able to see some of the world's history right there. Highly recommend this place for any age adults along with any children.

Went last week to wildwood aglow and it was beautiful. I especially loved the music in sync with the lights. The event was good for spending time with family, friends, or just a date. You could also go to the little cafe and drink something while enjoying the view. I would recommend to visit the place after 7:30pm to make sure that is dark enough and enjoy even more the lights. Will definitely visit again!

This is a review of WildWoods: AGLOW The tickets are about $30 pp and include only admission to the woods. The exhibit is very well done. The designers created a magical wilderness trail. Unfortunately the ticket price doesn't include museum admission and for this price it really isn't worth it.

We have been incredibly happy to be members of the Fernbank Museum during this time of social distancing. This review is specifically for the Fernbank Forest and it was my first time perusing it just a few weekends ago and what a treasure this 65-acre in-town forest is. AT had walked some of the forest before but it was his first time going so far in (and we did the shortest loop). He mentioned not seeing people on previous mini-hikes but this sunny day, we ran into at least six families with kids. It was heartening to see them and in general, I've loved witnessing people spend more time outdoors. This has certainly been the case for our family and we've been on the lookout for nearby places where we can pretty safely get fresh air (with our masks on most of the time, unless there are no people within view). If you haven't visited and want to take a nice trek on (mostly) paved trails, the Fernbank Forest will likely surprise you. There are clear signs with maps and even placards with information about trees/plants throughout the forest. There's a beautiful creek running through the area and you'll catch some small waterfalls. We saw chipmunks and squirrels aplenty, as well as various birds, during our walk. The tall trees were a wonder and had us walking with our heads craned to take in the sight. For those interested in learning more, I think I saw a walking tour with a guide that likely originated from the museum. If we cross paths, just make sure to stay at least six feet from me.

A fun walk through semi-tame urban forest. There were a lot of cool interactive exhibits for the kids, shady paths for strolling, and cool 'nature art'. The whole trail takes longer than you'd expect...so give yourself an hour. Take your time and just enjoy your stroll away from the hustle and bustle of city life!
