The Fernbank Science Center opened in December 1967
and is home to one of the largest planetariums in the United States. Its 70-foot diameter domed ceiling forms the projection screen, which displays an authentic reproduction of the sky.

Celestial bodies observed include the sun, the moon, the visible planets, no less than 8,900 stars, the Milky Way, and certain nebulae and star clusters. The movements of these objects - as they change with time - are shown at an accelerated rate. Special effects like black holes, rotating galaxies, and rings of Saturn offer dramatic highlights in the program.

General and Family planetarium programs begin promptly. Children under five years of age are welcome in family planetarium programs, and parental discretion is advised for general programs. Visitors can experience the planetarium programs for an admission fee of $4 for adults and $3 for students and seniors. Programs vary in content. Please check the website for a detailed schedule.

The winner of our 2008 Parents' Picks quest to find the best Museum for Teens in the Atlanta area, features over eight million gallons of fresh and marine water, and 100,000 animals representing 500 species from around the globe.

Among the highlights of any visit are an encounter with the whale sharks, the only resident ones of their kind in a North American aquarium, and the giant and graceful beluga whales.

The sections of the aquarium are divided by water types, and the living things that thrive in each environment:

Ocean Voyager houses the whale sharks, as well as cubarra snappers, trevally jacks, small and large stingrays, an enormous goliath grouper, and hammerhead sharks.

Cold Water Quest includes beluga whales, giant Pacific octopus, garibaldi damselfish, Japanese spider crabs, and California sea lions.

Kids can also crawl inside a large scale model of a Right whale, native to Georgia waters. This is the area to let off some steam - the play structure is good for smaller kids.

Tropical Diver displays tropical coral reefs teeming with eels, seahorses, fairy basslets, yellow-head jawfish, and other jewels of the sea, like jellyfish. The Pacific Coral Reef exhibit, with its wide-wall glimpse of the bright colored fish that roam through the reef, is a breathtaking, and soothing, display. Take a crying baby here to settle down - trust us, we've seen it work!

Cafe Aquaria: On site dining appeals to a broad range of tastes. Expect to find burgers, pizza, soups, sandwiches, kids' meals, and plenty of desserts. You can build a pretty healthy meal here, although it's pricier than dining at an off-property sandwich shop.

Birthday Parties are designed for children ages one to 12, with three themed 90-minute packages - Deepo, Island, and Pirate.

Although the layout is wheel-friendly, you can get around more easily with less width in your kids' ride. Changing tables (bolted onto counters with clean disposable changing pads at hand!) and a nursing station are available near the Cafe.

The 4-D theater shows Deepo's Undersea Wondershow every 30 minutes, although it's best to reserve seats when purchasing general admission passes. It's a must-do on a first visit. A live actor kicks things off with marine life trivia and aquarium background, then visitors get 3D glasses and take in an animated musical 3D film with a message of environmental stewardship. In the theater, unique special effects make the film come to life with floating bubbles, light splashes of water, and seats that provide a puff of air or vibration to mimic the feel of a sea creature swimming by.

Behind the Scenes Tours are offered daily for ages 10 and up. The tours last one hour, and are $50 above general admission pricing. Two themes are available, at staggered times during the day. Advance reservations and comfortable shoes are required.

Sleepovers are offered for families and youth groups. Each program includes admission to the Aquarium, Deepo's Undersea 3D Wondershow, behind the scenes tour, a guided adventure through the galleries, a mattress to sleep on, activities, dinner, evening snack, and breakfast.

The mission of Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta, the winner of our 2008 Parents' Picks quest to find the best Museum for Little Kids in the Atlanta area, is to create environments and activities through which young children experience the power of imagination and the fun in learning with each other and with grown-ups. Best enjoyed by kids up to age 8, the museum features some permanent hands-on exhibits and traveling exhibits in partnership with other major children's museums.

Crowd-pleasers include:

The giant ball machine, complete with cranes, intricate ramps and tubes, and a water-powered wheel that encourages teamwork (even among kids who just met!) to move brightly colored plastic orbs from point A to point B.

The water play area, where kids don colorful rain jackets to "fish," (with magnetic fishing poles or nets and plastic sea creatures) splash, and stand mesmerized as water makes its way down a waterfall.

The Fundamentally Food section, where kids can explore all aspects of gathering and delivering food. Kids literally follow the food chain from the barnyard to the delivery truck - operating a fork lift and loading boxes. Then they can shop at the grocery store, fill their carts, and whip up a meal in a pretend kitchen.

And the art gallery - a plexiglass panel on which smocked guests can paint to their hearts' content right on the wall, then see it get wiped clean to start all over. (Parents, bring a camera to capture the artwork before it gets washed away!)

Birthday Parties at the museum include admission for up to 10 guests, use of a party room for one hour, and Imaginator to coordinate activities, a make-and-take art project, and goody boxes. Additional items are offered a la carte. Parties are available only on Saturdays and Sundays and pre-selected times.
