Akron Fossils & Science Center

"I love going here with my children. We had so much fun exploring the museum, crafting a mold of a fossil, exploring the animals they have, and learning some educational facts about fossils and how they form. Staff was very pleasant and they seemed to be very knowledgeable. They have a big park and a 200 ft zip line. The zip line was very fun. That was actually the first one I went on ever and I feel like for a first timer it was a good expierence. The cost for everything including zip line for one adult and 3children was $52. So not to expensive. The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was the gift shop. A little pricy and not much to choose from."

"Very enjoyable for the kids they like the animals and fossils and collection of rocks (they’re minerals Marie) yes, there is a creationist or intelligent design twist on what is presented, but your children will have a fun time don’t listen to the adults in the reviews who cannot handle a difference of opinion you can make it through the whole place and hardly notice. I hardly doubt any of them truly drove two hours without even looking at the reviews and were taken totally by surprise"

"A cool museum that we discovered by accident. They have tours that include animals, making fossil replicas, and a talk on fossil formation. Nice outdoor play area including a small zip line ($3 extra). Separate Creation Education Center. Would be great for smaller kids, but my 13 and 17 yo kids enjoyed it. Very friendly staff."

"This place is perfect to get out of the house for a few hours. Very hands on, lots of things to learn and do (nothing biblical like others have said), the staff is incredible & very friendly & kind to the kids. I will say there are bits & pieces of biblical things but not like others are explaining it in other reviews. Great place inside to eat & there’s also plenty of spots outside to eat as well so pack a good picnic lunch! It is a little small but that’s ok. The playground area maybe needed a little lawn maintenance like grass cut & some weeds cut down but other than that I think it’s a great place for kids to just be kids & have fun & learn. We’ll be back for sure."

"1. This is a sham. Do not give them your money, go to an actual museum. They are incredibly anti-science, most of their "exhibition" is made up of artist renditions and "recreations" and actively promotes things that no credible scientist would back up. The staff couldn't really answer questions well, it was mostly "maybe, I don't know". They sell religious propaganda with the guise of it being "educational" ... I mean just look at the pictures I took of their main "self guided tour" room. Not only did all of these titles have full display cases, but they also had a tv going non-stop explaining their anti-science stances. Absolutely awful and shocking when I thought I was taking my nephew to a fun activity. 2. The only thing worth while was the animals activity bc they let the kids hold the animals, but honestly there's so many places you could go do that & put your money to better use. Plus their animals were in smaller cages than they should have been in, kinda depressing."
