The Creation Museum and Ark Encounter



Our sole purpose for going to Kentucky was to see the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter and we were not disappointed.  The Creation Museum is beautifully done with gorgeous grounds.  They have a huge pond and the landscaping is beautiful.  This is a museum where you need to take time to read as you go through it.  The emphasis of the museum is creation versus evolution from a Christian perspective.  The displays are very well done.  We spent 2-3 hours here. 


The following day we went to the Ark Encounter and that was amazing.  The is built to scale and is  massive.  The grounds are gorgeous and it’s easy to move throughout the complex.  The Ark is a good distance from the parking lot and they provide buses back and forth at no extra cost.  All I could think about was how in the world Noah and his family were able to build something of this size and the only way was with God’s help.  The folks who designed the inside did a lot of research and did their best to display how Noah may have designed the inside with everything from how to contain and care for all the animals and his family to dealing with getting fresh water and air and dealing with waste.  They also had to grow food.  Noah didn’t know how long they would be on this ship so had to prepare for the long haul.  In the end, it was about a year.  The whole thing is an engineering marvel and only God could have supplied him with all that he needed to build and design the Ark.  They are planning to expand the park with other biblical settings so this is something we will definitely want to come back and see again.    They have numerous areas to get food on the property but we went to the cafeteria for the buffet.  For seniors the cost was only $10 and that included your beverage.  For a place like this, I consider that a really good price. 


I highly recommend taking the time to come and see these sights.  The Creation Museum is up closer to Cincinnati and the Ark is about 45 miles south of it in Williamstown, KY so both are easy to get to.  We visited them both in the mornings and had the afternoons to relax. 

Today we started working our way back to Oklahoma and will spend three nights at the Paris Landing/Kentucky Lake KOA near Buchanan, TN.
