Fernbank’s Woodland Spirits Returns for a Frighteningly Good Time
The museum’s popular fall exhibit returns along with special, seasonal programming
Atlanta, September 17, 2020 – Beginning September 19, 2020 guests will find that Fernbank Museum of Natural History has become Fernbank Museum of Supernatural History with the return of Woodland Spirits and Fernbank’s Supernatural Science Fest. Come face-to-face with dozens of ghostly “visitors” lurking among the trails outside in WildWoods and Fernbank Forest.
On view through November 8, 2020, Woodland Spirits returns for the third year, once again expanding to include new experiences. As guests wander throughout Fernbank’s outdoor areas, they will cross-paths with spirits who were unable to let go of the physical world and appear in the shadows, up in the trees and waiting in plain sight for their next scare. These ghostly sculptures were imagined by Fernbank, and transformed by local Atlanta artist, Laura Lewis.
New ghastly encounters include a stroll through the Monster Garden, where guests will experience their own “Little Shop of Horrors.” Meanwhile, spiders, skeletons, bats and more spirits have taken over Adventure Outpost, transforming it into the Haunted Outpost. For those who want to immerse themselves in the seasonal feel, Nature Stories has become Harvest Stories, where scarecrows, haybales and pumpkins will be spread throughout for the perfect fall experience.
Featured as part of the Supernatural Science Fest, Woodland Spirits provides daily seasonal Halloween experiences, with additional events and programming to capture the full Halloween vibe, including:
Fernbank’s Supernatural Science Fest, including Woodland Spirits, will be held from Saturday, September 19-November 8, 2020.
