Student groups on Peach State excursion will truly enjoy a trip to Fernbank Museum, located just East of Midtown Atlanta; a visit to this fossil-floored refuge from the “everyday” is an absolute must. A host of permanent features and exhibitions in concert with an exciting series of ever-changing special presentations and an ultra-cool IMAX theatre ensure guests an exhilarating voyage across the boundless universe of entertaining, educational discovery. “A Walk Through Time” illuminates Georgia’s natural history and the development of our planet with a series of incredible dioramas that capture the sights and sounds of the Peach State’s principal geographic regions. “Giants of the Mesozoic” recreates the struggles of ancient life in the unforgiving badlands of Patagonia, Argentina; a staged prehistoric battle of epic proportions unfolds in the Museum’s Great Hall. “Conveyed in Clay: Stories from St. Catherines Island” features a selection of objects from an expansive collection of more than 1,000,000 artifacts recovered from archaeological digs on St. Catherines Island, Georgia, and explores 5000 years of human history by examining how the native peoples of North America adapted to inevitable changes in natural and cultural conditions through studies of the evolution of their pottery. Captivating exhibit, “Whales, Giants of the Deep” plunges guests into the breathtaking underwater world of these enormous mammals, highlighting their curious habits, enchanting song and nature of their relationship with man through a unique fusion of science, legend and lore, while the mesmerizing, nighttime “Star Gallery” provides budding astronomists a “stellar” opportunity to study the celestial bodies that can be seen with the naked eye. Enjoy a delightful post-tour lunch of classic favorites at the Fernbank Café, then stop by the Museum Store for that perfect memento of your amazing adventure across space and time!
