Fernbank has many years of experience keeping animals in captivity. Most of our animals are used in classes for the Dekalb County School System and have been kept behind closed doors. But, now many of them can be seen live at the new animals exhibit at Fernbank Science Center. There are poison dart frogs, snakes, turtles, spiders, and more. The exhibit is an excellent instructional aid for Dekalb teachers as they investigate the diversity of life with their students.
Exhibit hall hours are Monday - Wednesday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm; Thursday - Friday 8:30 am - 10:00 pm; Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm; Sunday 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm.
