About the Creation Museum The Creation Museum is a high-tech 75,000-square-foot facility that allows families to experience earth history as God has revealed it in the Bible. Hundreds of media have seen the 150 exceptional exhibits that feature fearsome animatronic dinosaurs, a world-class Allosaur fossil, talking heroes of the faith, and professional displays that honor God´s Word. The museum also boasts a fun-filled, 200-seat special effects theater, a state-of-the-art planetarium, a petting zoo, nature trails, zip lines, and lots more.
At the heart of the Creation Museum is a chronological retelling of biblical history in seven parts called the Seven C´s. Guests step back in time, beginning with Creation, and fast-forward to Christ´s return. Along the way, they see how God´s Word provides the big-picture answers for our most difficult questions, whether about science, the Bible, or our personal relationship with God.
The Creation Museum, which has drawn over three million visitors in less than ten years, is a Christian evangelistic outreach of Answers in Genesis, as is our sister attraction, the Ark Encounter. Located 40 miles from the museum in Williamstown, Kentucky, the Ark Encounter brings to life the Ark of Noah’s day and equips visitors to understand the reality of events recorded in the book of Genesis.
About The Ark
Ark Encounter features a full-size Noah’s Ark, built according to the dimensions given in the Bible. Spanning 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, this modern engineering marvel amazes visitors young and old. Ark Encounter is situated in beautiful Grant County in Williamstown, Kentucky, halfway between Cincinnati and Lexington and right off I-75.
A Massive Structure
Ark Encounter is the largest timber frame structure in the world, built from standing dead timber, in part by skilled Amish craftsmen. The Ark is an architectural and engineering wonder containing three decks of world-class exhibits.
Have You Ever Wondered . . .
We built the full-size Noah’s Ark to answer these questions—and more! As you enter Noah’s world aboard the massive Ark, you’ll tour three decks filled with scores of world-class exhibit bays. These stunning exhibits allow you to experience what Noah’s life may have been like.
We know you probably have lots of questions. Please be patient with us as we work to coordinate this epic field trip. We will continue to get as much information out to you as fast as we can, as well as update this webpage. If you do have questions please contact Jodi Kielsmeier by email jkielsmeier@fcsfalcons.com. Thank you for your continued support!
