Dinosaur Plaza
Fernbank’s Dinosaur Plaza features a variety of attractions, including ample outdoor space with a fountain, plants, trees, and flowers.
The plaza’s centerpiece is a family of bronze dinosaurs, positioned to welcome visitors—many of whom are families—as they arrive at the museum. These dinosaurs represent a hadrosaur species known as Lophorhothon atopus, which once inhabited the region that is now Georgia.
Fernbank is the first museum to showcase a display of Lophorhothon atopus. The sculptures are part of an outdoor exhibit that provides details about the dinosaurs, their prehistoric environment, and their inferred behaviors, including their nurturing of young.
Visitors can check out Flickr for special behind-the-scenes photos as well as images of the arrival and installation.
