Christmas at the Creation Museum Kicks off November 28, 2025!

It’s almost here! In just over a week, we’ll start welcoming tens of thousands of visitors for our annual Christmas at the Creation Museum and Christmas at the Ark Encounter.

Our free Christmas events begin just after Thanksgiving (November 28, 2025–January 3, 2026, on select days).

Both attractions offer a different Christmas experience, so make plans to visit both the museum and the Ark to enjoy:

• Hundreds of thousands of festive lights
• A live nativity and Christ-centered dramas
• Live music
• Animal programs
• Laser show on the side of our life-size Noah’s Ark
• Holiday dining
• Gift shopping
• And more!

The lights aren’t just draped on trees—there’s a lot of design involved in how the lights are wrapped around trees and placed on buildings at both locations. And you will love the lit-up dinosaur models sculpted by the late Buddy Davis and placed throughout our botanical gardens.

New designs are added to our spectacular light display each year, so even if you’ve joined us for this special time of the year before, your experience is never the same!

Our Christmas events are free except for the cost of parking. Bring the whole family! For more details, visit CreationMuseum.org/christmas.
