A total waste

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.
