Day 1: Tuesday, August 13

We head to Kentucky today with meals en route. We check into the Hampton Inn – Cincinnati/Airport South for three nights.

Day 2: Wednesday, August 14

We begin the day with breakfast at our hotel. Then we depart to visit the Creation Museum. A visit to the Creation Museum is self-paced. This 70,000 square foot “walk through history” museum is an alternative to the evolutionary natural history museums. See how its interpretation of the Bible -the “history book of the universe” – provides an account of the beginning of all things. The Museum recently completed a renovation of the first third of the museum. Our visit begins with Starting Points/Worldview, then Biblical Authority and then Relevance. We will take a journey through a visual presentation of the history of the world, based on its 7 C’s of History – Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross and Consummation, where we will discover an interpretation of how science confirms biblical history.

Lunch Vouchers included for lunch at Noah’s Café. The intricately designed bamboo walls and ceilings create a tropical feel and restful atmosphere. A 27-foot mural pictures the Ark resting on the mountains of Ararat.

There are also beautiful gardens to stroll through as well as a Children’s Adventure Area, a new playground specifically designed for children of all abilities, and a Petting Zoo. The Petting Zoo features sheep, goats, a cow, donkey, wallabys, and alpacas. Animal food may be purchased for a quarter in the zoo.

We will return to the hotel this afternoon to refreshen up before dinner. Dinner this evening will be on the river! Take in the skyline, watch the river go by, and enjoy a fantastic meal aboard this cruise.

Day 3: Thursday, August 15

After breakfast, we spend our day at the Ark Encounter and the 4th Annual World’s Largest Christian music festival – 40 Days & 40 Nights.

Enjoy this time on your own to visit the full-sized replica of Noah’s Ark. This massive wooden structure is the largest wooden timber structure IN THE WORLD, and is 510 feet long and more than 50 feet tall. The entire structure is climate controlled. The Ark contains three levels of exhibits – Before the Flood, During the Flood and After the Flood. Be sure to take time to visit the vast gift shop as you exit the Ark. Beyond the Ark, we have the opportunity to visit the Monument Walk, The Village Market, Ararat Ridge Zoo, and use our lunch vouchers at Emzara’s Kitchen.

This afternoon, we make our way down to The Answers Center at the Ark Encounter for their 4:00 PM concert – apart of the 40 Days & 40 Nights Festival.
