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

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.
