The newly remodeled Schramm Education Center (formerly Ak-Sar-Ben Aquarium) at Schramm Park State Recreation Area is currently closed for renovations. Construction is scheduled for completion in 2019 (date to be determined).

The remainder of the state recreation area, including trails, canyon ponds, picnic areas, playground and fossil exhibit, will remain open. A temporary office is established at the park, within the current visitor center parking lot, to accommodate guests who wish to obtain park information or purchase permits.

The renovation will transform the facility into a state-of-art interactive exploration center. The finished facility will include larger aquariums, a redesigned lobby area, a multi-faceted interactive nature center that will include various hands on activities, and a modern classroom to facilitate expanded educational programs and meetings.
