It was my first time visiting the Fernbank Science Center for their "Music Under the Moon" event,…read moreand it was an incredible experience. Inside the planetarium, the domed projection screen displayed the night sky in stunning 10K resolution, featuring a live view of the moon and surrounding stars. As you recline in your seat and look up at the beautiful visuals overhead, classical musicians perform a creative mix of timeless pieces along with arrangements from Star Wars and other contemporary music. The combination of the music and the immersive visuals made the whole experience feel magical. I had a fantastic time and would absolutely return for another show. It is a unique and memorable way to enjoy live music in a truly special setting.

They have a very visually appealing entrance for kids...bright colors, a free little library and a small playground with nice green spaces around. The inside has a variety of activities set up which seemed to be pretty standard for a children's museum and were ones we'd seen in other locations. My kids stayed entertained for over two hours and would have been happy to stay if we'd had the time. This is a great option for a rainy day activity. The only downside is we were hoping to grab lunch beforehand and there weren't a lot of options nearby that we were able to find. At $12 a ticket for adults and children aged 1 and up it's a reasonable price!

The entry is a combination snack/gift shop and reception. After paying we entered the play area and I wasn't sure what to think. All the areas flowed into each other and our granddaughter seemed overwhelmed. We began with the Healthy Choices map, then let her take the lead. She walked by everything until we got to the display showing how air circulates through your lungs. She loved doing this activity over, and over, and over again and suddenly became more interested in other areas. She ended up really enjoying MUSE and didn't want to leave. Don't let the small size fool you, there is a lot more there than you think. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we were unable to play on the outside playscape but that just means we need to go back next time they visit.

This is such a huge plus to the community with tons of displays and informational exhibits for kids. It's free to enter and our toddler really enjoyed the walking trails, the turtles and the water & train displays! Do check and make sure the water exhibit is open that day if it's in the summer bc of day camps if you're really wanting to see that. It is the coolest exhibit imo but they had a huge train table, tent for pretend play and tons of other educational toys for kids in the other rooms too They also took us down to see the reptile exhibit with turtles, snakes and lizards and it's a scenic route with waterfalls and cool architecture. Couldn't love this place more; it's a must visit!

The kids loved venturing out into all of the different areas and playing. It kept them busy the whole time. Truly interactive and enjoyable. We have a 6 month old baby and she crawled around in their small play space for the smaller babies. I will say it did say to remove shoes but lots of bigger kids were just running wild through this space with their shoes on and it was a bit much so we didn't stay playing in there long for fear our little would get trampled. Nice to have an area for babies in theory, but without someone running the area it's just not being respected which again is more on the parents supervision (or lack there of). Overall a good experience and we could come back.

I was so eager to experience this facility on the University of Georgia campus with my…read moregrandchildren. Since the Museum has limited hours during the week only, Monday to Friday, we headed to Athens early Monday morning during the first day of their Thanksgiving week holiday. UGA is also on Holiday break and the upside of our visit, was the very limited amount of people on campus. As most people know and now I know, the UGA campus is enormous. I had never been there before and soon discovered that not even my GPS helped find this Museum. Fortunately, the campus staff and students were very helpful and we did finally find the Museum. It is an extremely small Museum, compared to the Natural History Museum in DC, it is miniscule, i.e. 30 X 40 ft. and the primary reason for my rating. It does appear that UGA is trying their best to develop this Museum, but, it does have a long, long way to go. My grandchildren did learn a few scientific terms and were interested in a few of the exhibits, which we were able to explore undaunted and uninterrupted since we were the ONLY visitors at that time. There is always a silver lining and for this adventure, it was the positive help received by UGA students and staff, and being on campus without all of the usual activity.

The museum is small but it is full of great information. It is true that any of the evidence here could be fabricated and false, but what if it is real? I have not seen any Big Foot, but I have had other experiences that are similar, and for that reason I cannot say this is fake. I don't know if this place will make you a believer or an investigator, but there are plenty of resources here to get won your way. Definitely worth a visit.

If you've ever been to one of these before (and we have) you've been to them all. It's about 5 minutes of giggling while you bump into mirrors trying to find your way out, with colorful archways and black lights guiding your way. Not very big at all, and not very challenging. As we had young children with us, we skipped the zombie area (? Can't speak on it) and instead hit up both of the little 3-D shoot-em-up video game/films. (If you do the zombie walk, you only choose one of these) The first one we went on was scary clown themed, and had I known just how scary, I would have skipped it. (My 4 year-old was a bit traumatized). The other one, where you shoot at evil robots in the Wild West(!) was much better, not only because it wasn't too scary for little ones, but because it was smoother and less headache inducing than the other. It was probably my favorite experience of the three, but not worth the price of admission unless you got the discount pass for the wax museum and you've got time to kill.

I wouldn't say you could spend your whole day here unless you have younger (say 4 - 9) aged kids who will absolutely love the upstairs jungle playroom and could spend a very long time in there. For older kids there is plenty of real learning that can be done as well as staff doing some show and tell or practical experiments out on the floor for kids to come see. The movie is a few times a day as well and is also pretty cool.

There's a small climbing structure that my kids kept coming back to, which was a favorite. A lot of the exhibits focused on the earth. I think it was sort of lost on my kids, but the exhibits were fun to interact with. You can't really avoid the shop.

Very underwhelming, for a city known for tourism this is probably the lamest science center I've…read morebeen to. It's like 3 rooms total, all of them in basically the same space, there's probably a whole like 4 or 5 things for the kids to do that they can probably do within 30 minutes. The admission price should be like $5 for what it's worth. The lady at the front told me there was a bunch of hands on activities for babies and I'd say there was like three. The first room was a tiny room with a virtual earth, that if you touch the screen it says it will move but it doesn't work, everything else in that room is just reading/writing (made for tweens and up) and not very fun or engaging. Then there's a room full of rocks behind glass displays, not very exciting or hands on for kids (even as an adult, I felt like it was boring). There's one little section in the room where the kids can brush sand off rocks, but it was nothing special. The room with the bikes is the coolest room, but it's very small and like I said there's barely anything to do. You can look at different bikes on display, they have like 2 or 3 interactive things you can do to learn about how bikes work which take a minute to do. The there's a tiny jungle gym kind of thing that's sub-par, a water play area that's also sub-par and a sand pit where you can look for fossils which I guess would have been fun if my child was a bit older, but for little ones like mine, there wasn't much. He had a very tiny section in the corner he could play with and then he got bored. I guess I'm a bit spoiled because we live in the Triad and we have 3 of the best children's museums. It's guess it's a good thing to do to kill time if you literally have nothing else to do with your kids in Asheville but if I knew what it would be like I probably wouldn't do it again.
