Let’s enjoy another hometown kind of day trip with lots of air conditioning!  Join us as we visit the incredible Fernbank Museum where you can enjoy a self-guided tour of this beautiful facility.  From the towering dinosaurs in the entryway to the awesome exhibits, this day is sure to be fun.  While at Fernbank we will see a film in their Giant Screen Theater.  You can also take in A Walk thru time to Georgia, where you’ll see our state’s natural history. Then there’s The Giants of the Mesozoic, it’s sure to be a hit.  Other galleries include Stars, Nature Quest, and World of Shells to name a few.  Outside is the Fernbank Forest if you feel like roaming outside a bit.  This 65-acre space is an old-growth forest right in town.  From there we head over to Mary Mac’s for an included lunch.  You’ll enjoy this southern-style ‘meat and 2’  lunch.  Their food is always a hit with everyone. Then it’s time to head to the original Fernbank Science Center where we see a show in the Planetarium.  We will see Cosmic Colors, and discover why the sky is blue, why Mars is Red, and other wonderous journeys through color.  This should be a fun, yet educational trip with the added bonus of a great lunch!  Join us!
