WildWoods
Visitors can enjoy the wonder of nature in the heart of the city! WildWoods offers all-season nature experiences for all ages and provides direct access to Fernbank Forest.
An elevated walkway takes guests from the museum’s Terrace into the treetops, where they can enjoy stunning views from one of two tree pods. From there, they can tailor their experiences:
- Guests will discover something new with each visit. There is no need to drive north to enjoy the fall colors. Fernbank Forest and WildWoods come alive with dramatic yellows and oranges as the leaves change.
- Visitors can explore immersive and interactive exhibits for children (Nature Stories) and tweens (Adventure Outpost).
- Adventure turns to art in the Nature Gallery, featuring permanent installations and rotating special exhibits.
- Guests can get a closer look at nature through special trailside experiences, including a sensory wall, animal tracks, and tree molds.
- They can also look for a variety of native plants, flowers, and wildlife as the trails guide them along the creek toward the wetlands meadow and wildlife sanctuary.
WildWoods is open year-round, rain or shine, but may be closed due to inclement weather.
Visitors can make more possible with a gift to the Annual Fund.
