Experience Fernbank at Night, Inside and Out.
Select Nights | Nov. 8, 2024 – Feb. 23, 2025 | 6 - 9 p.m.
Please note that Fernbank will close at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 24 and will reopen on Thursday, Dec. 26.
Journey into the zen-like, magical worlds of nature in Fernbank’s outdoor, nighttime experience, WildWoods: AGLOW.
Included with after-hours museum admission, WildWoods: AGLOW is a multi-sensory experience that immerses visitors into the mesmerizing wonders of nature through a blend of the real environment and glowing displays, uniquely curated to highlight the native flora and fauna within WildWoods.
WildWoods: AGLOW uses dramatically artistic, glowing scenes and original music compositions to immerse guests into a nighttime wonderland of biodiversity. Highlights include an interactive tulip poplar pod, projections of nocturnal wildlife, glowing native plant species, larger-than-life incandescent mushrooms and more. New this year, guests will discover large dandelions, fluttering dragonflies, swarming bat displays, glowing garden towers and more along the boardwalk.
Unlike anything else in Atlanta, WildWoods: AGLOW is a family-friendly event except when the experience coincides with Fernbank After Dark (adults-only science nights) on Nov. 8, Dec. 13, Jan. 10 and Feb. 14.
