Botanical Gardens Photography Permit
The botanical gardens at the Creation Museum provide a wonderful, picturesque walk for our guests to enjoy as part of their museum experience. The gardens also offer an excellent background for wedding pictures and senior pictures. Due to their popularity and keeping our museum guests in mind, all photographers coming to the gardens for the purpose of “commercial” photography or who are not paying guests must purchase a four-hour photography permit (download application PDF) or an annual photography pass from the Guest Service Information Center.
