On February 3, two groups of our list members attended a field trip at this new and exciting addition to the Akron area, the Akron Fossils and Science Center in Copley, the home of Truassic Park.
Although I was not able to attend this tour, the families who did were very impressed. Each group was led in approximately a one hour informative tour around the museum.
This facility is dedicated to teaching the creation view of science, centering around fossils and dinosaurs. It is a worthwhile experience for anyone interested in this aspect of science.
Here is some info from their website:
"We have opened an educational and fun-filled experience for all ages. We are devoted to teaching creation science and intelligent design in contrast to evolutionary models. The center features hands-on science as well as many fossils from Ohio and around the world.
Individuals, families and groups will enjoy our unique displays as they journey through a series of questions in search of truth."
Truassic Park is an outdoor adventure park/play area for the kids that is available whenever the weather is amenable to outdoor play. It is themed around dinosaurs as well.
The tour cost us $5.00 per person (group rate). I encourage you to check out their website Akron Fossils & Science Center for more info or call 330-665-DINO (3466) to schedule a visit. They also offer classes, summer camps, birthday parties and monthly lectures.
The Akron Fossil Center is Awsome
