Beginning September 18, 2021, guests will find that Fernbank Museum of Natural History has become Fernbank Museum of Supernatural History with the return of ‘Woodland Spirits’ and the Supernatural Science Series. Come face-to-face with dozens of ghostly “visitors” lurking among the trails outside in WildWoods and Fernbank Forest.
On view through November 7, 2021, ‘Woodland Spirits’ returns for the fourth year, once again expanding to include new experiences. As guests wander throughout Fernbank’s outdoor areas, they will cross paths with spirits who were unable to let go of the physical world and appear in the shadows, up in the trees and waiting in plain sight for their next scare. These ghostly sculptures were imagined by Fernbank, and created by local Atlanta artist, Laura Lewis.
Ghastly encounters include a stroll through ‘Haunted Outpost’ where spiders, skeletons, bats and more spirits have taken over Adventure Outpost. For those who want to immerse themselves in the seasonal feel, Nature Stories has transformed into ‘Harvest Stories’, where scarecrows and pumpkins are spread throughout for the perfect fall experience. For a mini “Little Shop of Horrors” find your way to the ‘Monster Garden’ in Nature Gallery.
New to this year’s iteration of ‘Woodland Spirts’ is ‘Nocturnal Activity: Life After Dark’ which can also be found in Nature Gallery. Explore what goes on when the sun goes down as you discover the lifestyles of nocturnal animals and night-blooming plants. Featured animals include bats, owls, scorpions, raccoons, moths, opossums, frogs, toads and more.
Featured as part of the Supernatural Science Series, ‘Woodland Spirits’ provides daily seasonal Halloween experiences, with additional events and programming to capture the full Halloween vibe, including:
- Forest night walks, where guests can take a guided night-time tour of Fernbank’s outdoor space ‘Fernbank Forest’, with a Fernbank educator. Night walks are available for separate purchase on October 1, October 8 (in conjunction with Fernbank After Dark) and October 23 (in conjunction with Ghostly Gatherings)

Fernbank’s special exhibit, ‘Habitat‘, takes guests through several thematic sections, exploring different environments, animals, plants and more. Through larger-than-life sculptures constructed by local Atlanta artists and Fernbank’s own exhibit team, guests will be immersed in nature every step of the way. Massive insect sculptures can be found in the Bug B&B, butterfly sculptures are posed in Monarch and Meadows for ideal photo-ops and stunning replica bird’s nests can be found in Nests.
Explore the uniqueness and importance of the natural environment in Fernbank’s new outdoor special exhibition, “Habitat,” featuring giant sculptures of insects, animals, nests and flowers nestled among the real plants and animals that call WildWoods home. Thematic sections explore the central idea “protecting habitats protects life” through the lens of the environment where it is displayed.
The elevated walkway into WildWoods leads guests through a tour of the natural world. Set against the backdrop of a thriving forest found just minutes from the heart of downtownAtlanta, this new exhibit invites guests to travel “through” habitats and biomes found around the globe and explore the importance of preserving these natural communities through large-scale sculptures, including a giant grasshopper, butterfly, praying mantis and dragonfly, as well as nests, flowers, honeycomb and more, commissioned by Fernbank in partnership with local artists.
Turtle Odyssey: Follow Bunji, an Australian green sea turtle, and her incredible journey across the open ocean in “Turtle Odyssey,” a new giant screen film opening. Experience the ocean through the eyes of a turtle as you explore the remarkable life cycle of a green sea turtle: from birth, to adolescence, to adulthood, to laying eggs of her own.
Sea Turtles are some of the most majestic and ancient creatures on Earth. For over 100 million years, they have traversed the seas, surviving multiple mass extinctions and playing critical roles in maintaining healthy, marine food webs. Not only do these friendly animals captivate us as they peacefully glide through the ocean, but their personal journeys of survival are equally fascinating. The film explores the challenges they face and the importance of their preservation.
Giant Screen Movie tickets are sold in combination with general admission and are available for purchase online. Combination tickets are $26.95/adult, $25.95/senior, $24.95 child for nonmembers and $6.95 for members.

As violence and inequality cause scarcity and displace populations, impacted groups are frequently discussed as data and given impersonal categorizations such as refugee and asylum seeker.

FIVE REASONS WORLD OF COCA-COLA BELONGS ON YOUR SUMMER BUCKET LIST
Just in time for summer breaks, vacations and staycations, World of Coca-Cola is launching new, can’t-miss experiences. Of the many reasons to visit, check out the top five below:
- Sniff out the Secret – World of Coke’s newest permanent exhibit, Scent Discovery, shows just how much flavor and scent go hand in hand. This experience gives guests a deep dive into the anatomy of smell and challenges visitors to identify a variety of sweet, fruity and spicy scents. Are you up for the challenge?
- Be a VIP – By popular demand, World of Coca-Cola is extending its limited-time Coke Insider Journey through the summer. Beginning June 4, fans who want to level-up their visit can book this exclusive tour on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The exclusive tour gives groups of no more than 10 guests the entire attraction to themselves for two hours of behind-the-scenes peeks, performances and souvenirs just for Insiders.
- Pour by Phone – We use our phones for everything else, so why not pour our favorite drinks with them too? For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, the Coca-Cola Freestyle room inside Taste It! has reopened with a futuristic new feature. Guests can simply use their smartphone cameras to scan QR codes on the dispensers, then use their phones as remotes to choose and pour their drink of choice from over 100 options.
- Get Groovy – Coca-Cola’s 1971 Unity Collection celebrates the 50th anniversary of its iconic Hilltop original television commercial with a series of capsule collections from global fashion, beauty and accessory brands. Launching May 24, these limited-edition items represent the spirit of the 70s and Hilltop’s themes of peace, love, unity and optimism. Check out the dy-no-mite collection at the Coca-Cola Store at World of Coca-Cola or online at cocacolastore.com/unity throughout the summer and fall.
- Share the Spotlight – Inside the Pop Culture Gallery, a new installation invites guests to embrace the message of Hilltop: “Buy the world a Coke and keep it company.” If you could buy a Coke for anyone in the world, who would it be and why? Guests who share their answers could see their messages and stories showcased in the interactive gallery.
Behind the Bottle
As a dedicated guide leads Coke Insiders through the attraction, they encounter performers who lead special presentations and shows, such as a soda jerk demonstration and Olympic torch show-and-tell — all exclusive to the private tour. The guests also gain unprecedented access to the exhibits, including peeks into how the bottling line and beverage fountains operate. The premium offering is perfect for both returning guests who want to experience World of Coke in a new light and first-time visitors seeking an over-the-top inaugural trip.
Premium Perks
To commemorate the unique visit to World of Coca-Cola, Insiders receive complimentary items including a reusable cup filled with their favorite drink from Taste It!, a keepsake pin and printed and digital photos with the popular Coca-Cola Polar Bear. Guests also receive free parking, free coat check and an in-store discount to complete the VIP treatment.

Inside the exhibit, guests learn about the science behind humans’ sense of smell and how it works with the brain to identify foods and recall memories. World of Coca-Cola Ambassadors lead small groups of guests through a tour of aromas — from sweet to fruity to spicy. Guests individually smell the scents one by one, share what each reminds them of and attempt to identify the fragrances. Following the guided experience, guests are invited to explore other mystery scents, grouped by flavor profile, along the outside wall of the room. As they learn each aroma’s origin, guests will also uncover related beverage recommendations.
