Creation Museum

"The Creation Museum presents a unique and unparalleled experience, a walk
through time portraying significant, life-altering events of the past,
illuminating the effects of biblical history on our present and future
world. Be prepared to experience history in a completely unprecedented
way. The state-of-the-art 60,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life, casting its characters and animals in dynamic
form and placing them in familiar settings. Adam and Eve live in the Garden of
Eden. Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden’s Rivers. The serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great
masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for
many of the settings.

The area within the museum has been divided into unusually configured spaces that allow for personal interaction with each of the 160 exhibits. Several parts of the museum, including the stunning forty-foot high portico with its cliff wall and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, flaunt open spaces and remarkable designs. Walk through the Garden of Eden. The Tree of Life, central to the garden, stretches out its branches, laden with ripened fruits. Come face-to-face with a sauropod, a dinosaur of incredible dimensions. His monstrous frame moves through the low-lying thicket as he grazes on plants. Introduce yourself to our chameleons. Examine bones, a clutch of eggs from a dinosaur, an exceptional fossil collection, and a mineral collection. Walk
through the Cave of Sorrows and see the horrific effects of the Fall of man.
Sounds of a sin-ravaged world echo through the room. Finally, see the sacrificial Lamb on the cross, and the hope of redemption. The themes of the exhibits resound in the theater presentations: Men in White, Six Days of Creation, The Last Adam, and Dinosaurs and Dragons. Our Special Effects Theater, complete with rumbling seats and rising mists, takes visitors on a fantastic quest to find the real purpose and meaning of life. Each seat is a rocket launching pad in our Stargazers Planetarium. Prepare for lift-off. The digital projector showcases a spectacular gravity-defying spaceflight, a thrilling 22-minute ride billions of light years away to the vast outer regions of our universe. Breathtaking images and inconceivable distances make this cosmic journey under the dome a fully engaging experience.
See the scaffolding, smell the freshly-cut timbers in the busy work site of Noah’s Ark. Delve into the belly of the Ark and imagine the
stalls full of animals, in close quarters. Listen to the sounds of thunderous,
driving rains and the pounding of water against the sides of the great Ark.
You will find our dinosaurs living in our gardens and sauntering throughout
our exhibit halls. These eye-blinking, mouth-chewing, tail-swinging creatures
may startle a few of our guests. Children will be excited to see the variety of
sculpted dinosaurs in our collection, including the stegosaur, dilophosaur, and
of course, the giant Tyrannosaurus rex! They can saddle up on our triceratops
and have their picture taken with a dinosaur. "
