Akron Fossils & Science Center

Activity Overview

The Akron Fossils & Science Center is a museum located in Copley, Ohio, which is just a short distance outside of Akron. Its attractions include a dinosaur-themed outdoor adventure park called Truassic Park and a museum filled with exhibits that showcase fossils from all over the world. If you are interested in learning about the history of life from a perspective focused on creationism and intelligent design instead of the traditional evolutionary perspective, then you might be interested in stopping by for a visit.

Things to Do

• Enjoy the thrill of the 200-foot long zip line or driving around a dinosaur-themed racetrack with a visit to Truassic Park.
• Play a round of miniature golf on their 9-hole course and meet live animal ambassadors.
• Explore Sanderson Lecture Hall, which features dozens of real and replica fossils, including dinosaur bones that visitors can hold.
