Where to Start?

If you’ve never been to the Creation Museum before, the first thing you might want to do is to get oriented with a map and directions. The museum is within a day’s drive of about two-thirds of the U.S. population. Make sure that you also review our upcoming events and activities to decide the best time to come. We have a full slate of events every week.

Once you know how to get here, you may want to consider some of the other exciting attractions and quality lodging that the tri-state area offers (Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana). You could easily plan a week-long vacation centered around at least one day at the museum.

Next, scan through the exhibits, theater presentations, and food venues here at the Creation Museum, and don’t forget the Petting Zoo and gardens. This will give you an idea of what you can expect.

Then you’re all set. Prepare to be amazed. Prepare to be challenged. Prepare to believe.

Don’t Miss Anything

You could easily spend two days exploring the museum and the grounds. All tickets are valid for two consecutive days to help you take in the many special events. Also, the planetarium often sells out. Reserve your seats as soon as you arrive for the day.

In case you didn’t know, the Petting Zoo is included in the price of admission. There you can feed a zonkey (zebra/donkey), a zorse (zebra/horse), a camel, wallabies, and other intriguing animals.

Guest safety is of utmost importance here at the Creation Museum. Our Public Safety officers are highly trained professionals whose main goal is to keep our guests and staff safe.

Parents with Young Children

Parents, please keep your eye on young children. Each year repairs are made to exhibits due to unnecessary touching, and this can also be a safety threat to guests. Please pay attention to signage on such exhibits. We do have special hands-on exhibits that children can touch all they want. Each year, we also have children with missing parents and parents with missing children. If your child is missing, please notify the nearest museum staff member. Our Public Safety Officers are trained in Code Adam.

K-9 Officers

The Creation Museum does have K-9 officers. Please note that these are working dogs and we ask that you not approach them to pet them or talk to them. Their focus cannot be diverted from their job.
