Review:
Operated by the DeKalb County School District, the Fernbank Science Center is an educational facility designed for kids from kindergarten to Grade 12. The 9,000-square-foot exhibit hall displays attractions like the genuine Apollo 6 Command Module and a collection of live animals, and the outdoor gardens provide opportunities to learn about edible plants, perennial flowers, and pollinators. The 500-seat planetarium regularly plays fascinating programs that take viewers on an incredible journey through space, but if you'd like to look at the sky in real-time, there is also an observatory, which is typically open to the public on Thursday and Friday nights.
