    This place was beautiful. I love the outside walking past. The dinosaur fossils and all the fossilized items that they have inside the museum our mind boggling, breathtaking. It's just really neat to be able to see some of the world's history right there. Highly recommend this place for any age adults along with any children.

    This beautiful space not only offers an opportunity to stroll through local plants but it creates a great opportunity for families to enjoy nature. Pause at the learning stations. Sit on a bench and listen to the breeze and playing children. This is an excellent section of Fern Bank.

    Cowry Limousines always provide prom limo service and wedding limo rentals to the Fernbank Museum for weddings and Proms service. This is always a nice venue for large celebratory audiences.

    Perfect accompaniment to the museum of the same name. Great place for kids to get outside and burn off some energy, as well as seeing the art installations and walking the trails. Between the two, an amazing day our for young and old!

    Went last week to wildwood aglow and it was beautiful. I especially loved the music in sync with the lights. The event was good for spending time with family, friends, or just a date. You could also go to the little cafe and drink something while enjoying the view. I would recommend to visit the place after 7:30pm to make sure that is dark enough and enjoy even more the lights. Will definitely visit again!

    Entry is free with cost of Fernbank Museum tickets! We loved the Forest!! The decor was spooky and beautiful. I did fall on the walk back, so be wary if you're holding a toddler going down the hill with gravel. Trails aren't clearly marked so be prepared for a possible mile walk

    Beautiful old growth forest. There are some MASSIVE trees here! The forest alone is worth buying a yearly membership to Fernbank.

  • 5/5 Florin P. 9 months ago on Google
    This was awesome. You get the ilussion of being in the middle of nature nature while being in a big city. The place is crawling with copperheads though so make sure to watch where you're walking.

    This place is the best! We got to see a sloth and a snake named Spicy Tony!

    I've been to Fernbank a few times and have always enjoyed. This last visit I went outside. Wow! I was amazed at how much I had missed. So much beautiful surroundings and nature to explore. I went on a quick trip and definitely want to go back when I have more time.

  • 5/5 Matthew K. 2 years ago on Google
    A wonderful place to visit with the family. Interactive rooms for the kids, history, science, dinosaurs, a Cafe on premise and a beautiful nature trail that's nearly a 2 mile loop with gorgeous scenery!

  • 3/5 Jerry R. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the hike through the forest trail. It's worth a visit. Not so much the museum. It was a little boring.

  • 5/5 Alex D. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful walk in the forest. Well-maintained trail, we'll worth a visit

  • 5/5 Trinity L. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing trails, well kept and very exciting to walk. The trails available aren't anything too crazy but it is enough to get the feel of being out in nature. We went when it was 60 degrees and overcast and I feel like this is the perfect weather to trek the trails and really enjoy it. We didn't see much wildlife besides birds and squirrels but it was a fun activity to do after seeing the museum.

  • 5/5 Pamela H. 3 years ago on Google
    It was fun. As a kid I was always excited about museum as I got older I lost interest. This museum is caught me with it hands on activity and videos. Loved the outdoor part of it
