Fernbank…but LATER

As daylight fades, Fernbank transforms into a unique happy hour destination. Explore interactive exhibits, enjoy nature strolls, hang out under the dinosaurs, and try your hand at games designed for curious and competitive minds. Sips (including alcoholic beverages) and snacks will keep you fueled for fun. LATER is your chance to connect, discover and unwind in a casual, fun and relaxed atmosphere for all ages—with a grownup vibe.

• Classic yard games on the Terrace
• Brain-teasing trivia
• Soak up the summer vibes while exploring WildWoods
• Chill with friends (new and old)
• Engage in VR challenges 
• Collect limited-edition dinosaur trading cards*
• And more! Activities vary by event.

See you LATER!
