Hot days outside are the perfect time to visit the Fernbank Museum of Natural History.

This summer’s IMAX movies are “Titans of the Ice Age” (through Aug. 15, 2013) and “Under the Sea” (through Sept. 5). Note that there is an additional charge for IMAX theater films.

Also this summer, through Aug. 18, the museum is hosting “Extreme Mammals,” an exhibit showcasing some of the biggest, smallest and most amazing mammals on Earth. The exhibit is included with admission to the museum.

Other special events at Fernbank this summer include Reptile Day on July 20 and a night walk in the Fernbank Forest on July 5.
