This center has a general admission fee of $3 for adults and $2 for children older than 2 (February, 2010 rates). Center members and children younger than 2 are admitted free.
Fernbank Museum of Natural History

The Fernbank, located in Atlanta, was first inspired by the dream of Emily Harrison, a young girl who loved playing in the forest surrounding her home and thrived on learning about animals and plants around her. Emily's favorite spot in the forest was a creek bank covered with ferns that she called "Fernbank." This name was publicly recognized in the 1880s. Today, this museum offers educational field trips, summer camps and programs to allow children and adults to learn about nature. The Fernbank Museum also has an IMAX theater and several permanent and special exhibitions on dinosaurs, nature and reflections of culture collections. There is an admission fee for groups ranging from $9 to $28 as well as individual museum tickets from $13 to $15. Additional fees are required for admission to the IMAX. Bulk tickets and annual memberships are also available to include admission to multiple exhibits and IMAX.
