Open Daily, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Offered the second Friday of each month, Fernbank After Dark brings the museum to life after hours with exhibit access, music, full bars, small plates, science demonstrations, giant screen movies, and the chance to explore WildWoods after dark.
Exclusively for ages 21+, it’s equal parts date night, friend night, and “why haven’t we done this before?” night. Each month features a fresh science theme with immersive, hands-on programming designed to spark curiosity and fuel conversation, proving learning pairs perfectly with a drink in hand.
