We visited the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia and touched so many fossils!
For our move up to Chattanooga, we rented a very large Budget truck. It was so big that we could only return to a location an hour away in Cartersville, Georgia. I had been getting Facebook ads for a museum in that same exact city, so we decided to stop by and spend a few hours at a science center. We ended up having so much fun while visiting the Tellus Science Museum.
The museum is sort of a mix between a natural history and science center, but the best of both. It encourages touching most of the exhibits! They offered a lot of hands on activities for our 4 year old, including gem mining and a fossil dig.
Outside, before you pay to get in, were enormous construction vehicles. They towered over us and wowed our son. A short walk away was a closed observatory surrounded by a to scale representation of the planets' distance from the sun.
Inside were separate exhibit halls. The first one we visited focused on geology and had a beautiful collection of gems. Another hall was full of immense of fossils with plenty of prehistoric bones for Malcolm to touch. There was one hall that followed along the evolution of the vehicle from old cars to the space shuttle. For some reason, the gem mining and fossil dig was off of this hall instead of the other two. Last, we came to a dedicated space for traditional science center exhibits for kids to play with.
