Creation Museum

The Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky had been on our family’s bucket list for many years. We were so excited to finally get to experience it ourselves. The Creation Museum graciously provided us with two media tickets. As always all opinions are my own.

The Creation Museum is a major attraction!

We were completely blown away. There is so much to do and see, beginning with the botanical gardens.

The grounds are gorgeous.

Even zip-lining is offered for an additional fee. We had recently enjoyed an Adventure Park all to ourselves and zip lined to our heart’s content, so we skipped it here, but it did look like a blast!

Creation Museum entrance

Prepare for crowds.

We chose a weekday before school was out thinking the Creation Museum wouldn’t be crowded. We were wrong! Don’t let the above photo fool you. I took it of the entrance at the end of the day as we were leaving. While I definitely prefer a less crowded experience, it was so exciting to see how many people were there!

Creation Museum touch a dinasaur bone

Experience dinosaurs!

Is your family as fascinated with dinosaurs as ours is? The kids loved touching actual dinosaur fossils!

Creation Museum Learn about dinosaurs

The whopping 75,000-square-foot facility is filled with experiences of earth’s history as it is revealed in the Bible.

Creation Museum Garden of Eden

Visit the Garden of Eden.

It’s fun to imagine what the Garden of Eden looked like and what plants and animals may have been there. The walk begins with the beauty, takes you through original sin, and the effects of the fall.

Creation Museum robotic dinosaur

Our favorite part of the exhibit was the animatronic dinosaurs. Roar!!

Creation Museum Bug Exhibit

Insect Collection

One of my favorite exhibits was the insect collection. I don’t like bugs. (Yes, I still use the word “bugs” even though it may be technically incorrect! Ha!) Bugs give me the creeps. This collection of insects, however, gave me a whole new appreciation for them. I mean, look how beautiful they can be!

Creation Museum Speakers

Speakers

Plan time to listen to the speakers! We sat in on two of the sessions. They were captivating and educational. It’s a great way to dig deeper into the many truths portrayed in the museum.

Creation Museum Planetarium

Planetarium

The planetarium is a neat experience for the whole family. We purchased the double feature as the second show is discounted. We saw Created Cosmos and Alien: Fact or Fiction. Both were enjoyable and informative, but if you’re just going to see one, we recommend Created Cosmos.

Creation Museum Petting Zoo

Eden Animal Experience

My boys’ favorite part of the museum was interacting with the animals. It cracks me up. I can take them to the world’s most exciting anything and they’re just happy to feed and pet the goats.

Creation Museum Zebroids

Have you ever seen a Zonkey or a Zorse? Aren’t they amazing? These zeborids were first bred in Kenya in the early 1800s! I’ve never seen them in a zoo before!

What to see and do at the Creation Museum

How many days should you plan to spend at the Museum?

From the extensive out door experiences to the fantastic state-of-the-art indoor museum, there is much to enjoy. We spent one full day from open to close, and that was enough for our family. We did hurry through some areas and skip some of the activities not included in the entrance fee.

If your family wants to do it all, including catching all the speaker sessions, definitely get the two day pass. My husband felt rushed though and would have loved to spend more time reading and experiencing everything, but that’s how he enjoys museums. I always like to say, “I love museums, I just enjoy them in a hurry. Ha!”

The next day we went to the Ark Experience…

    My kids are 3 & almost 2 and occasionally are frightened by loud noises – but they LOVE dinosaurs. Was this dinosaur exhibit overly loud?

      No, the dinosaurs aren’t loud and scary, just a little sound and movement.
