Come
Celebrate Dinosaurs At The South’s Best Natural History Museum
Fernbank Museum of Natural History has declared August Dinosaur Month.
Of course no Fernbank celebration is complete without events, crafts,
throwbacks and some exciting ways to learn.
Throughout
the month, Fernbank will be posting throwback photos on social media
channels honoring the many places visitors can encounter dinosaurs
throughout the Museum. Fernbank will also offer dinosaur-themed
editions of the popular story-time program, Tadpole Tales,
on August 16 and 17, and of the family-friendly Weekend
Wonders program every Saturday and Sunday throughout the
month.
On Saturday, August 23 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., Fernbank will host its annual Dinosaur Birthday Bash to celebrate the anniversary of theGiants of the Mesozoic exhibit. The exhibition was the first time the world saw the full skeletons of the world’s largest dinosaurs—the 123-foot-long Argentinosaurus and the 47-foot-long Giganotosaurus.
This
exciting day will feature DJ Willy Wow, who will entertain guests
with festive music, dancing and interactive activities. The day will
also include a hands-on opportunity to dig for dinosaurs in a mock
dinosaur dig led by Fernbank’s experienced educators. “Giggy A.
Dinosaur,” the Museum’s popular mascot, will be in attendance.
Visitors can also come face-to-face with an
additional Gigonotosaurusskull, offering a rare
opportunity to investigate the massive six-foot-long skull up
close. Dinosaur Birthday Bash will also feature the
Georgia Bubbleman, fun games and dinosaur temporary tattoos. No
birthday party is complete without birthday wishes, and to ensure a
festive party, guests are invited to craft their own birthday hat and
join in on a happy birthday sing-along with “Giggy.”
Throughout
August, the entire Museum will get into the dinosaur spirit by
providing photo opportunities, dinosaur craft tutorials on the
Fernbank blog,
fossil FUN carts, giveaways and scavenger hunts.
