Attraction Rules

Thank you for considering a visit to the Creation Museum. We appreciate your willingness to familiarize yourself with our guest policies and safety procedures prior to your arrival.

For the safety and security of all guests, employees, and volunteers, all visitors are required to pass through a security screening checkpoint upon entry. Our goal is to conduct this process in a professional, efficient, and minimally intrusive manner while maintaining a safe environment for everyone on property.

Please note that the Creation Museum reserves the right to inspect bags, purses, backpacks, packages, and other personal items brought onto the property. In addition, if circumstances reasonably warrant further screening in the interest of public safety, trained Public Safety personnel may conduct additional screening measures in accordance with applicable laws and company policy. Individuals not agreeing to the aforementioned security measures will not be permitted entry into the Creation Museum. Public Safety Officers shall, at all times, reserve the right to either deny any person entry into or to remove any person from the Creation Museum premises, who in the sole and absolute discretion of the Creation Museum are in violation of our rules. Rules may be updated from time to time, with or without notice.

The following sections outline the attraction rules, prohibited items, the prohibited activities, playground use and rules, rights of the Creation Museum, and the mobility device liability release and disclaimer notice at the Creation Museum.

If you have questions regarding these policies or require clarification prior to your visit, please contact us, and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.
