SUDBURY, ON – Fodor’s Travel, the foremost name in travel publishing, has named Science North and Dynamic Earth as 2008 Fodor’s Choice selections. This distinction recognizes a remarkable achievement for Science North and Dynamic Earth.

Since 1988, Fodor’s Travel has been awarding the Fodor’s Choice distinction to only the very best hotels, restaurants and attractions around the world. Fodor’s writers experience, examine and evaluate thousands of hotels, restaurants and attractions. While every hotel, restaurant or attraction included in a Fodor’s guide is deemed worth a traveler’s time, only fifteen percent of those selections receive the Fodor’s Choice designation.
