CINCINNATI- At a time when theme parks bow to political correctness, one family-friendly vacation destination shines a spotlight on the very first pages of the Bible. The 75,000 square foot Creation Museum is a state-of-the-art gallery promoting creation science from the Book of Genesis.
“We have had four million visitors since it opened in 2007,” says Patrick Kanewske, Director of the museum’s Media & Ministry Relations. “Guests have come from every continent in the world except Antarctica. Many times youth groups and school students will come in mass to tour our facilities.”

The award-winning attraction, located on seventy scenic acres in Petersburg, Kentucky west of Cincinnati, provides adventure by bringing the Bible to life.
Stunning world-class exhibits, including a 4-D theater, a full-scale planetarium, a photo-friendly botanical garden, a popular petting zoo, and a zip-line adventure course requiring pre-registration,
Various speakers and concerts are scheduled throughout the year. Music featuring Buddy Davis and other Gospel music groups are also featured.
The newly-renovated Noah’s Cafe has a new menu and has been converted to a grab-and-go, allowing for more time for more exploration into the Genesis account.
According to Kanewski, the museum is getting a face lift, renovating the first third of the museum.
“We are excited to showcase our new improvements that will enhance the museum experience. The renovations are scheduled for completion in November 2019.”

The museum’s visionary, Ken Ham, is CEO and Founder of Answers in Genesis–US (AIG). Since moving to America in 1987, the Australian native has founded the highly acclaimed Creation Museum, and popular, full-size Noah’s Ark.
Mr. Ham majors on the relevance and authority of the Book of Genesis to the life of the average Christian. Compromise on Genesis has opened a dangerous door regarding how the culture and church view biblical authority.
He can be heard daily on the radio feature Answers with Ken Ham (broadcast on more than 950 stations), and is a frequent guest on national TV talk shows.
Ham is also the founder of the award-winning Answers magazine, which won the prestigious “Award of Excellence” (for top Christian magazine) in 2011 from the Evangelical Press Association. He also writes articles for AiG’s popular website, which was the 2012 recipient of the “Best Ministry Website” as awarded by the 1,200-member National Religious Broadcasters.
