Note: it's not known as a 'high tech' museum so it's silly to expect it as such. The planetarium is wonderful...if you're not really interested in stars you're probably better of...

Children's Show is Awful 3/6/2011

My son was excited to visit the planetarium. We went for the children's show on a Saturday, since it was advertised as suited for under 10. Wow, were we disappointed. ""Here Comes the Sun"" features a VERY low tech animated puppet that looks like a monkey, but is supposed to be the sun. For a presentation intended for an under 10 audience, my 4-year old was not impressed. He was hoping to see stars and planets (something that looks like space). Not a talking puppet and lots of pictures of things completely unrelated to what the show should have been about. more

Historical Landmark! 8/5/2008

I have been visiting the Fernbank since I was 5 or 6. I have always had fun at the planetarium, and I hope my little cousins can have fun there too. Check it out! more

For what it is- definitely recommended. 1/26/2007

Note: it's not known as a 'high tech' museum so it's silly to expect it as such. The planetarium is wonderful...if you're not really interested in stars you're probably better off going somewhere else but I found it to be quite a treat. A nice break from the city as well more

A total waste 2/13/2006

NOt a real museum. I agree with the person from London. I am from NY, and this doesn't even compare to what we have here in NYC museum of Natural History. The Fernbank has, maybe 2 or 3 large dinosaurs. Come to NYC and see 2 or 3 seperate wings of dinosaurs. Hundreds and Hundreds. I wasted a day at the Fernbank. A total zip. more
