What's Happening: June 6-7, 2009

Summer weekends don't usually lack for things to do: trips to the pool, boat rides on the lake, birthday parties and cookout abound. But if you are looking for some family fun, check out these ideas!

Fernbank Museum of Natural History is highlighting its temporary (and very cool) dinosaur exhibit with 90 Days of Dinosaurs, which began in late May. Every day will have a dinosaur activity. Kids can collect dinosaur coins for participating in activities to keep or bring back to the Dinosaur Birthday Bash on August 22; the coins will enter them into drawings for prizes.

Saturday's activity is a dinosaur lab, and Sunday's is a "Bag of Bones" counting contest. Admission is $15 for adults, $13 for kids 3-12, and free for those 2 and under.

Georgia Aquarium is celebrating World Ocean Day with storytelling, arts and crafts, and activities throughout the aquarium. The events will continue through Monday (from June 6-8), which is actually World Ocean Day.

Admission is $26 for adults, $19.50 for kids 3-12, and free for kids under 2.

Bass Pro Shops has their Family Summer Camp from 12-6 on Saturday and Sunday. It's free!

If you'd rather be outside, check out Virginia-Highland Summerfest, which is supposed to be lots of fun. There's a music stage, artist fair, food, and Kidsfest. The festival runs from 10:00-6:30 on Saturday and 11:00-6:00 on Sunday.

Admission is free, but they take donations.
