If your family is into dinosaurs, Fernbank is for you. Situated a little east of downtown Decatur, Fernbank has some of the largest dinosaurs ever found in the world. The IMAX theater shows films about the natural world, both past and present.

 

Visit Tips

  • Don't miss the exhibit "A Walk Through Time in Georgia." The kids will really enjoy seeing all the animal models in their natural habitats.
  • Look for fossils in the floors. At the front entrance you can get a handout describing the different fossils found in the limestone floor tiles.
