If I could give it 10 stars I would! I could spend a week in this place. I have a degree in theology, and every single poster makes me want to go read a book or study something. It was truly amazing. The amount of work and expense and research put into this place, is off the chart! You absolutely cannot miss this. If you're considering going, consider no more, and get in the car. It's a must encounter for every Christian who has ever wondered how the book of Genesis is relevant for today and compatible with science. If you're asking those questions in any form, you're just gonna love it! You will encounter friendly people, extremely well-thought-out exhibits, beautiful grounds, and architecture (especially the plants), easy services and amenities, and exceptional presentations by extremely intelligent and well researched people. And, of course, theme park priced food, which was good, but not exceptional. You're not going for the food, you're going for the mind blowing explanations and answers to questions you and your neighbor asked for a long time. read more

Creation Museum - A dinosaur ... hugged by my family. - Museums Near Me - Petersburg, Kentucky

We enjoyed visiting the museum - however if you're going to the Ark encounter - there is some cross over material. Lots of walking - wear comfy shoes. The exhibits had a lot of reading - which made it difficult as it started to get crowded. The gardens were beautiful. We attended the worship session first and ended up starting at the end of the exhibits... signs would have been helpful or arrows on the carpets. Security was heavily armed and K9 dogs ... staff was extremely friendly and helpful with all questions. read more

I'd give it a thousand stars if I could. Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!! I had such an amazing time. So much evidence for the Creation Account. I always believed it but now things that I wondered about are answered. So many things to disprove evolution at every turn. The 4d presentations are a little cheesy but good for kids, but the planetarium was phenomenal. I found myself gasping in awe several times during the Created Cosmos presentation. It was a very humbling experience to realize that out of all of the trillions of planets and stars, God chose this crazy, messed up world and sent his Son to die for us. He didn't start over somewhere else. He chose US! They have an entire section dedicated to a baby's journey in the womb which was awesome. There were some panels and screens discussing abortion and references to sexual activity in that section so maybe that one's not for curious kiddos. There was a hall full of butterflies and beetles on display, dinosaur bones, and a hall with panels with some fascinating Bible facts. It was a truly wonderful experience. I could not recommend it higher. read more

So much new stuff since first visit years ago. Visitor center staff was so nice helping w/ our large group tickets. The mini zoo has some great rare animals joy at many regular zoos. The grounds w/ the pond, gardens, bridges etc are really nice. We ate outside at their picnic area which was convenient. The museum is very modern w/ great info, exhibits, and overwhelming supports for the creation. There's multiple video halls for watching short movies & a cool 4-D theater about the 7 days. read more

Everything and more! Visiting my brother and family and he surprised us with tickets! It was amazing , a real eye opener. Blvd felt closer to my creator! read more

This place is well planned. If you arrive after lunch, opt for the 2-day pass if time allows in your plans. We ended up doing a 3-day option which included The Ark Encounter. Too much to explain in a Yelp review. Just do it!! There's a lot to see. Take your time. Dress comfortably. Some videos are free. Plan to watch them. read more

Food is reasonable and good. Parking is convenient. Needing a few more signs to find the museum from the gate because of various pathways.

5 stars this place was so cool and this was actually factual not some made up stories.

Overwhelmed by this once in a lifetime opportunity. This was my favorite, even over The Ark Encounter, although do not miss that either. We spent more time at the Creation Museum and I LOVED seeing the families with their young children. read more

This was our first time here,a very fascinating place! Actually too much information for one visit, we must return again. read more

This place was very informative. We loved the evolutionist vs creationist perspective on various evidence throughout the museum to show what each side believes. The museum shows how the evolutionist theory is wrong and provides evidence to back it up which is informative as well. There were a lot of graphics and videos to help break up all of the text. Our favorite part were the different stories in the Bible, such as Daniel, Hekiziah, Rahab, and more! In addition to the museum they have a playground and a small zoo outside. Because the museum is mostly reading and watching with not too many interactives we recommend taking the kiddos to the zoo and playground first so they can burn some energy before the museum. Overall it was a great experience!! read more

This place you have to pay $15 to park and still $60 to enter into the museum! What a rip off!!! I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND read more

Creation Museum - Museums Near Me - Petersburg, Kentucky

I found it interesting but also concerned about facts that were omitted or just changed. I believe in science and I believe in God... it's OK to believe in both in my opinion. My husband rushed our child through concerned he would think the dinosaurs timeline had changed by millions of years. The Creation Museum said dinosaurs and people lived together 5000 years ago; science tells us different. read more

Absolutely love the Creation Museum! The grounds are beautiful and the displays are beautiful and well done. There is lots of reading to do, and interactive displays too. The Christmas Town live narratives were very well done. The actors were very good! The scenery was beautiful! The zoo was nice. Were looking forward to coming back when it is completely done. The food was not the greatest. The hamburger was dry and the bun tasted stale, the fries were cold and wimpy. The Chicken Salad sandwich was good. You're not allowed to bring your own food or drinks on except for a sealed bottled water. The Christmas lights were beautiful. The conservatory was really nice too. It was nice to see the plants the Bible talks about as well as plants from all over. My family and I do recommend this place. It is good for all ages. It truly brings the Bible alive! read more

The state of their zoo is appalling--clearly stressed out and poorly attended animals with nothing for play or stimulation. Also note that the security guards are ARMED TO THE TEETH, which did not make me feel safe. And the fact that they are not taxed, being a religious institution, in no way means a savings for you and your family. I did enjoy seeing the fantastical scenarios that their timeline, which puts dinosaurs on the earth at the same time as people, commits them to. An imaginative exercise and I'm glad a place like this exists, but they really have no business keeping animals. read more

We loved visiting the Creation Museum! We were there for about four hours and still weren't able to experience it all! They have gardens you can walk around, the museum is full of information and picture opportunities. There's also a planetarium and a 4D theater, coffee shop, restaurant, a zip line, small swinging bridge, petting zoo, a butterfly garden, conservatory, a book store and a couple gift shops. And there's a playground area for the littles. It's a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes. They have strollers, ESV and wheelchair rentals too. Highly recommend! We will be back! read more

A very educational museum. I only had 2 hours available but could have spent that much time in just the baby part as a woman trying to conceive. The price is a little up there but you will think it is 100% worth it! They did an incredible job that will make agnostics come to the light via education by putting the science and Bible side by side. read more

Had an awesome experience at the Creation Museum! The exhibits were really well done and easy to understand, with a lot of detail that made everything interesting to walk through. I liked how interactive it was and how it presented its message clearly. The grounds were beautiful too, and everything felt clean and organized. Definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the area. But too much reading not good for young kids they need to have more people talking to spread the word of God better to the younger generation. read more

Good overall, and plenty to see/do. The first section has a bunch of signs to read, but don't let that dissuade you, it gets better. If you can only do this or Ark Encounter, maybe do that one instead. But if you have time for both, this one interesting too. read more

If I had to sum up the experience in one word, it was would be "strange." I would stick with just the Ark experience if I were you, the museum pretty much covers exactly everything else the Ark experience did so it's not really worth the extra money or time. Not very great for kids since there's a lot of reading that will literally take you hours to get through and the "sin section" of the museum literally made a kid cry and cover her eyes and ears. Do with that what you will but I'd just stick the Ark experience overall. The only part I would go back for is the botanical garden which was absolutely breathtaking. read more

Creation Museum - Botanical garden - Museums Near Me - Petersburg, Kentucky

Great presentation all around and wish we would have planned a bit better and spent 2 days there. Food was at the best bland and overpriced for the quality of food to purchase there. Would love to go back next year when the outdoor gardens are in bloom and the new restaurant is finished being built and hopefully an adult menu. Felt the food was all catered for kids read more

The most memorable part of my visit to the Creation Museum was unfortunately the depressing zoo area. The animals appear to be kept in very small enclosures with little to no stimulation, and many of them looked sad and lethargic. In addition, most of the animals are purchased from breeders. It's truly sad that a Christian-proclaiming place would have such poor stewardship of their animals. The exhibits themselves are also extremely text-heavy. Be prepared to do a lot of reading, and if it's crowded you may have to wait to move through some of the smaller exhibit spaces because they are pretty tight. If your goal is to gather information and read about creationism, this is a good place for that. However, if you're expecting to see a lot of real artifacts like you would in many other museums, there are actually very few. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly. read more

The Creation Museum is filled with biblical information and references, with lots of visual aids and displays. If you're planning a visit, I recommend you plan to take a day, and plan to take your time. Crowds make it more difficult to read the many written plaques, so patience is a virtue you may need. They do have cafes, but I don't recommend them at all. The premade salad was tiny and expensive. Lots of items are pre-packaged for purchase. They have pizza, but I have a gluten intolerance, so I couldn't give you any info on that, except to say that iced tea is not available at the pizza shop; you have to go upstairs for that. For me, I'm glad that I did the visit, but it will probably be a one-time-only visit. read more

This place!! Wow! Amazing job and kudos to the design team and everyone who put this together. Very well thought out and every detail really makes a difference. Affordable way to bring your family for an incredible experience. Every question you have about how and why you are here is answered. John 3:16 comes to life! We ate at Noah's Cafe- decent food and good prices. Also had iced lattes which were way better than Starbucks. Took a break. The gardens were beautiful and fun to go outside and walk around. Highly recommend this place! read more

Vibe: finally exploring where I invested 25 years ago; while visiting nearby Cincinnati A rental car was needed for the approx. 30 minute ride to The Creation Museum from Cincinnati. The Ark Experience is another 20 mins away. You'd be wise to give yourself several days at Creation and a different day for The Ark. Uber/Lyft were too expensive. It was a full-circle moment as I visited this museum that I supported from its inception. I was however disappointed that it's become so commercialized that everything seemed to have a price tag. Including parking. But once I got inside and saw the enormity of the place, I quickly forgot about it. The museum is filled with historical facts, research, questions and answers, videos, about how the Earth was created by God thousands of years ago vs The Big Bang Theory of millions of years. It explains in great detail about dinosaurs and how they fit into history and became extinct. There's neat animatronics, beautiful grounds, even 4 -D movie experiences to keep you engaged in information overload. This is a perfect place for young and old to visit. Just be prepared. It's lots of standing and reading and walking. So give yourself ample time (days) to enjoy at a leisurely pace. A walker with seat works well for those of advanced age or bad knees. A stroller for small ones is a necessity, just recognize their attention span will fade quickly with all the reading. Wear comfy shoes and bring a water bottle for refilling. This is a definite must for Christians and even those curious about our Earth and it's beginnings. Don't miss out on it! read more

Here we go!! Large parking lot. Gate to check in. Paid parking and admission. So much to see and do!!! Planetarium. Snake show. Corrie Tenboom hollacost story which was incredibly touching!! Such a privilege to hear the story. The gardens left me in awe as did all the exhibits. There is so much to see,touch,read etc. I can't express enough what an incredible live action place this is. I have seen and experienced much. I loved the full length information and the skulls were so dang cool to see. I WOULD DEFINITELY RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN. I got so many pressed pennies and learned so many things. I love how detailed things were. It was so so very crowded today but security seemed on the A game and did a great job controlling the crowd and the crazies. read more

Such a wonderful experience for the whole family. It was the book of Genesis in the bible came to live. About the beginning of creation of this world, the creation of Adam and Eve and the story of Noah's ark. It also explained about the view of worldly science, dinosaurs, and evolution VS the bible fact on how the bible historian and science bible trump the worldly fact about dinosaurs, evolution, and the races. Its amazing how the bible expert did their research and debunk the worldly science big bang. I love how interactive this creation museum and they have carousel rides for free, playground, and botanical garden that included with your tickets. They have little zoo for the kids and some movie about creation that the whole family can enjoy. For the stars fan, the have small planetarium for extra fee. Overall, this place is a must place to visit. read more

This place has been on my bucket list for years and it was as good as I'd expected. The displays showed how a biblical creation worldview is different from a naturalistic evolutionary worldview. The grounds are absolutely stunning, so you'll want to allow time to wander those. The zoo was closed the day we were there. Forewarning, there is quite a bit of walking and most displays include quite a bit of reading. I'm not sure our children would've enjoyed it as much as we did, but we aren't in that stage of life. Perhaps there was more for them to do than we noticed. We got to hear Ken Hamm speak which was very interesting. Highly recommend! read more

We went to the Creation Museum last week. The museum is an excellent way to see natural history in a fresh way from a Creation Science perspective. The museum and all facilities are very clean and well laid out. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall an excellent day! A couple of tips! First, if you like to read the placards in museums you should plan a full day here. I like to read everything, and we were there most of a day. Second, you can pack lunch and go out to your car to eat! This is very helpful if you have dietary restrictions like we do. Alternatively, you can email them and request ask about options. The executive chef was very helpful! Highly recommended! read more

Creation Museum - Zip lining - Museums Near Me - Petersburg, Kentucky

I don't think I am the audience for this, but I'm not sure who is. There is a significant focus on dinosaurs, and comparing evolution and Christianity. They make black and white arguments, which I'm not sure will drive anyone to 'change their mind'. At any rate, it is a bit of a maze, and there are speakers and brief films along with the exhibits. Many of the exhibits are impressive in their presentation, but do require a lot of reading vs. more interactive tools. We went to a couple of the 4D movies; one was ok, the other was a bit odd as they added impacts (like someone kicking your seat), and puffs of air that didn't really align with the presentation. The zoo was closed the day we were there, and the gardens were just starting to bloom and were very pretty and pleasant. read more

We went the day after the Ark. Not as much walking but still ALOT of walking. The botanical gardens were do peaceful , just beautiful. Lots of exhibits to stand, read and then proceed do I again recommend that you get there early. Go thru the museum then go for the shows. Lots of them are included in price but I would also recommend going to the ones and are not. There was enough time once I was finish with this, I would have gone back to Ark. But our group was heading home. So....I recommend the bouncer pass, so that you could go back to Ark if you had time. This also is great for those who believe and fir those who do not! Yet read more

Only 45 minutes from the Ark Encounter and totally worth it. Beautiful picture opportunities and a plethora of information. Great detail went into designing every last bit of this place.

I tell EVERYONE about the Creation museum as well as the ARK! It amazes me how many people have not enjoyed the Christmas lights or the beautiful grounds. I do miss the Zonkey, Zorse and Camel that now reside at the Ark! Petting zoo is still great as well as the PLAYGROUND! Moms and Dads this is the place! Love love love! I do wish they would continue free parking for surrounding counties! What a bummer :( also the live nativity is inside and "scheduled" I've been coming for so many years and this just put a damper on things ... I was told one time and didn't make it. I do wish the prices were more affordable for local families. read more

Though many people prefer the Ark, I enjoyed the Creation museum better. I'd recommend both if you've never been. There is a beautiful garden here and I definitely recommend to leave some time to walk through the garden. The main exhibition follows the 7-C structure, creation, corruption, catastrophe, confusion, Christ, cross, consummation. It has lots of reading. I really enjoyed the videos in the Legacy Hall, which is at the end of the main exhibition. My favorite video of that day was Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, which focused on the first days of the embryo development. it's a bit nerdy and lecture like, though it's so fascinating. I felt so touched by the miracles after miracles during the development process of a baby. There is a 4-D show included in the admission, In Six Days. It's a popular show and make sure to join in the line, if people start to line up. The shows in the Planetarium needs extra tickets, I watched the Created Cosmos. Get the ticket early, otherwise the time you want may be sold out. The hours various from season to season, make sure the check their website. They always close on the Sunday morning. I'd suggest to spend a full day here, and check the time for each activity you want to participate. Some planning may involved if you want to make the most of it. read more
