Spring has SPRUNG at Fernbank!

Are you looking for things to do in Atlanta this spring? Well, you are in luck!

Traveling back in time just got easier with our upcoming Extinction Party! Whether it's 33 years or 33 billion years, Fernbank is throwing a party for the ages. Celebrate the legacy of A Walk Through Time in Georgia while rolling with the homies and jamming to some fly '90s tunes. Arrive in your hottest grunge fashion and prepare for a wicked good time. These radical celebrations occur on March 7!

There is a cold front moving through Fernbank, and what better way to stay warm than with a night at the museum? Fernbank After Dark is back with The Big Chill. Join us on March 13 as we delve into the frozen world of Planet Ice and explore all the ways ice as impacted the shaping of our world. Ice will also impact your taste buds through specialty drinks at this 21+ event! 

As the temperature rises, so does the anticipation for Fernbank's newest exhibit, Flight of Butterflies, opening March 14. This outdoor exhibit lets curiosity and creativity take wing throughout the paths of WildWoods. Get an up-close look at the beauty of nature and enjoy a stroll through Fernbank’s prettiest outdoor exhibit, all at the same time!
