Known formuseumnatural historydinosaursDruid Hills
A world-class natural history museum anchored by one of the largest dinosaur exhibits anywhere — the Giants of the Mesozoic hall features full-scale Argentinosaurus and Giganotosaurus skeletons that are genuinely jaw-dropping. The museum also has a stunning IMAX theater and rotating special exhibitions. Friday evening 'Fernbank After Dark' events with cocktails under the dinosaurs are a beloved Atlanta tradition. Less crowded than Downtown attractions and set in a beautiful wooded Druid Hills setting.
