The temperature in the museum fluctuates. Dress in layers. There is a free coat hanging area.

It's hard to write a review for this place because I have to admit that I am not a fan of this sort of religious evangelism and the place is really a black eye for Kentucky. That being said, the displays are well done, especially the dioramas. You can tell that a lot of planning and design have gone into this place. Unfortunately the place seems to be a money pit for unsuspecting families. The normal admission is exorbitant and that doesn't even include the planetarium which adds an additional cost to the ticket. Also, I am always wary of any place that tries to herd me into getting my picture taken. In this day of ubiquitous digital cameras, does this ploy even make money anymore? The science here is shaky at best. If you are expecting an in depth exploration of the arguments for creation, you will need to buy one of the books in the gift shop. This place is just a pop up Sunday school book. One of the things that puzzled me was the area devoted to a compatriot of Billy Graham who rejected god and turned to atheism later in life. A hidden message of truth?

This museum is one of a kind and very well done. I appreciate that everything is from a Biblical aspect. My kids enjoyed everything and I am sure we will go again in the future. Special note: The "Men in White" presentation is something that you should not miss!!

The Creation is a great place to have your questions answered that you may have regarding Dino's, man, races etc. There are interactive exibits, movies etc. The gardens are absolutely beautiful. There is a petting zoo, camel rides, planetarium. Live snake and other reptile show. Plenty to keep you busy all day and entertaining for kids and adults.

About the Ticket Supplier: Creation Museum

The state-of-the-art 70,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and placing them in familiar settings. Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden. Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden's Rivers. The serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings.
