The exhibit hall at Fernbank Science Center spans some 9000 square feet and circles the planetarium theater. Split over two levels the exhibit hall has an upper area with 10-foot ceilings and a lower level with 15-foot ceilings. Within these areas are presented numerous displays which deal with a whole array of scientific concepts. The theme for the entire exhibit area reflects the slogan of the Science Center: "Fernbank . . . where science becomes an adventure."

On the upper level, the exhibits are of a permanent nature and are presented in an open-air diorama format that involves the visitor in this exciting "adventure."

The lower exhibit hall functions as our temporary display area with changing exhibits, traveling exhibits, etc.

The exhibit hall at Fernbank Science Center is utilized as an integral part of the instructional offerings of the Center. Objects and concepts presented in the displays are requested by instructors to assist in the explanation of scientific phenomena in their instructional programs.
