The Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky brings the pages of the Bible and other scenes to life in a state-of-the-art 70,000 square-foot museum and gorgeous surrounding gardens. You'll see everything from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to the busy work site of Noah's Ark -- and even come face-to-face with T. Rex. Check out the planetarium and special-effects theater and interact with each of the more than 160 exhibits, many backed by majestic murals brimming with rich colors and details. Outside, walk among the botanical gardens that accentuate the grounds of the museum, with a lake and a breathtaking variety of plants. Families can picnic in the shade of the spacious pavilions. And be sure to visit the petting zoo to enjoy numerous species of God's creation.
