WildWoods: AGLOW
Journey into the magnificent, sometimes hidden worlds of nature in Fernbank’s outdoor, nighttime experience, WildWoods: AGLOW.
WildWoods: AGLOW is a multi-sensory adventure that immerses visitors in the wonders of nature through a blend of the real environment, contemplative music, and glowing displays, uniquely curated to highlight the native flora and fauna within WildWoods.
Unlike anything else in Atlanta, WildWoods: AGLOW shines a light on fascinating events, such as what mushrooms would sound like if they could sing, to reveal the vast underground Mycorrhizal network of the ecosystem.

*WildWoods: AGLOW now includes admission to the Giant Screen Theater, showing Fungi: Web of Life, and more museum discoveries, such as special exhibits!
