Exploring Fernbank Museum in Atlanta

Earlier this month my family had the opportunity to check out the Fernbank Museum in Atlanta. This was our first trip to this particular museum, but even before we got there we knew it would become a family favorite.

It has dinosaurs.

Well, it has dinosaur bones, which, really is plenty for two 4 and 5-year-old kids who relish the chance the dive into the Cretaceous any chance they get. I don’t know what they would have done if there had been real dinosaurs.

We arrived fairly soon after opening and immediately indulged our kids’ desires for dinos. It was hard not to since there was an absolutely stunning Argentinosaurus dominating the very first room we entered.

Since there were still some hours until the Paleontologist was planning to speak to the kids, we decided to take a look around their expansive grounds while we waited. We took our time following a walkway through the greenery of the surrounding forest and checked out the different Halloween decorations that are already prominent along the path.

Fresh air and fun playgrounds
