  Controversial Artifact Unveiling Will Highlight New Exhibits
    Saturday July 26th, 2008 - special guided tours 12-5 p.m.

The Ica Burial Stone to be revealed July 26

Authentic Ica Burial Stone to be revealed on July 26th


Does our genuine Ica Burial Stone from Peru show evidence that man and dinosaurs lived together? Come to our new dinosaur and man artifact unveiling with special guided tours highlighting other new exhibits at the Science Center as well.

Special guided tours of our new exhibits will be given from 12-5 p.m. at regular admission cost.




  Admission Price Increased on July 1st
On July 1, 2008 we raised our admission prices at Akron Fossils and Science Center (AFSC). We have not changed our prices since we first opened in May 2005 and the museum and park have undergone some major changes since then. We have added several new exhibits and updated some older ones this past year and have raised our admission prices to match the changes. Our prices are still very competitive with other museums in our area.

Our birthday parties have also undergone a price change to accommodate the new tour options and new add-ons. You can see the new admission prices by clicking on our admission page and see the new and improved birthday party selections. Thank you for all your support as we celebrate our fourth summer season as Ohio’s first creation science museum.

Sincerely,
AFSC staff
