Creation Museum and Ark Encounter Tips

People ask me all the time for tips when visiting The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.

1. Plan a day at the Ark Encounter and a day at the Creation Museum.

2. At the Ark Encounter... Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. There is a lot of walking and ramps to go up and down in the Ark.

3. Take time to read all of the signs and watch all of the movies. The information is fascinating. Make it a point to catch the timeline of the world video at the Creation Museum.

4. Make sure to visit the petting zoos at both attractions, which are included in the ticket price.

5. When you get to the Creation Museum, immediately find the daily schedule for shows. Plan your whole day around seeing as a many shows as possible. Don't miss out on the planetarium offerings and the 4D Creation show.

6. Look at the schedule at the Creation Museum to see who is lecturing in the downstairs lecture hall. Sometimes you can catch Ken Ham or Buddy Davis in person.

7. While at the Creation Museum, make sure to grab some chili at Noah's Cafe. It's really good!

8. Both attractions are very family friendly and safe. You can pack strollers, wagons, snacks, drinks, anything your family needs.

9. Make sure to walk through the beautiful gardens at the Creation Museum

10. Be sure to visit the gift shops at both places. They offer excellent material and curriculum.

11. I recommend staying at Comfort Inn in Dry Ridge, or the Airbnb in Williamstown, Kentucky. The Airbnb is owned by a man who painted beautiful murals at the Ark.

12. Take your time, soak it all in, and take lots of pictures.

13. If you homeschool, it's worth the drive from wherever you live to do one of their all-day science labs. We have utilized this resource and it has been wonderful!
