Scared of a bare-bones weekend? We've got you covered. Join us for Fernbank After Dark: Bones & Brew. Run wild through our air-conditioned halls as you explore a child-free museum, and don't forget to catch a film in our Giant Screen Theater. Hop into a brew-tiful evening of specialty sips and hands-on science perfectly curated for our guests who are 21+ (but dino kids at heart).

Can't find a babysitter? Join us for late-night fun fit for the whole fam at LATER: Rex Factor. Hunt down a secret treasure, go on a guided evening walk through WildWoods, or just relax and listen to DJ SLW & Steady on vinyl. A night at the museum has never been so accessible! Stay alert for any surprises along the way.

Escaping the heat has never been easier than in our Giant Screen Theater. Go on an aquatic adventure with Call of the Dolphins, with breathtaking visuals, heartwarming encounters, and inspiring conservation. The multi-award-winning film was voted Best Film, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Design at the 2026 GSCA Achievement Awards. Sit back and watch as we bring the story of the ocean's most beloved animal to life. 

Our Calendar of Events is the best place to stay up to date on everything happening at Fernbank every day. We've got daily programs, guided Fernbank Forest Hikes, special events, and so much more!
