Great Hall
© Jimmy Clemmons
The Great Hall atrium features dramatic lighting, a view into natural woodlands from the Fernbank Forest Overlook and a breathtaking glass ceiling that soars 86 feet above the world’s largest dinosaurs. The Great Hall provides an enchanting setting that takes a cue from the brilliance of daylight or the glow of the moon. A white spiral staircase, lofty columns, light brick archways and fossil-filled limestone floors add neutral, yet spectacular, touches to your event while allowing an open palette for personalizing your décor. Rental of the Great Hall includes Museum tables and chairs, and offers use of the Lobby and outdoor Terrace, which can be used for a cocktail hour or other set-up, at no additional charge.
