Play in the Children’s Adventure Area

The Children’s Adventure Area is a cutting-edge recreational zone, located near the camel ride circle, that was specially designed for children of all abilities. This means it’s inclusive of children with various disabilities. We’re excited that all children, and their families, will now have yet another activity to enjoy during their visit!

Go Mining on the Sluice

At the mining sluice, adults and kids of all ages enjoy the interactive gem-panning experience. You’ll discover rocks and minerals from around the world as the flowing water uncovers the shining gemstones, and you can classify the gems, rocks, and minerals in your bag, using a kid-friendly identification chart. Which types of stones will you go home with?

Sit back and be amazed as the Stargazer Planetarium projector displays vividly realistic images upon a 30-foot-diameter dome, allowing stargazers to travel anywhere in the universe, through shows such as Created Cosmos and Aliens: Fact or Fiction? Enjoy learning from scientists and astronomers who affirm young-earth creation and explain how what we see in the night sky confirms God’s Word in Genesis.

Experience the 4D Special Effects Theater

Our state-of-the-art 4D Special Effects Theater is complete with comfy seats that rumble, shake, and deliver other surprises.
