Movie Theater: Movie tickets to the Giant Screen Theater are not included in the birthday party package but may be purchased in advance for $5.00 (plus tax) each. These tickets are non-refundable, even if not all tickets are used the date of the party. Specific showtimes vary by date and are subject to availability; first-come, first-served. View exact showtimes on our website when you order with your coordinator.
Guest Attendance: Fernbank’s Birthday Party Package includes access to the party room for up to twenty (20) guests. When confirming the total number of guests attending the party, please include the host family, museum members, adults, and children over the age of two. Should your party be over twenty (20) guests, each additional guest is $12 (plus tax) per person. Due to the size of the party room, there is a maximum of forty (40) total guests.

Catering orders must be received and paid for five (5) business days prior to the party date. Standard plastic plates, utensils and napkins are available upon request. Food and drink will be delivered to the party room at a designated time. Please note, Fernbank staff is not available to serve food.
