Day 1 – Monday, April 6: Travel & Arrival Fun

Our journey begins with an exciting trip on the charter bus, filled with games, laughter, and fellowship. When we arrive at the hotel, we’ll kick off our stay with a pool party and fun evening activities—a perfect way to relax and connect before our adventure begins!

Day 2 – Tuesday, April 7: Ark Encounter

Experience the awe-inspiring Ark Encounter, featuring a full-size Noah’s Ark built according to the dimensions given in Genesis 6—approximately 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high!
Inside, three decks of exhibits explore what life aboard the Ark may have been like, delve into flood geology, and highlight the wonder of God’s design. This engineering marvel—the largest freestanding timber structure in the world—leaves a lasting impression on visitors of all ages.

Day 3 – Wednesday, April 8: Creation Museum & Return Home

Our journey ends at the Creation Museum, a 75,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility featuring nearly 150 engaging exhibits that walk families through biblical history from Creation to Christ’s return.
Highlights include lifelike animatronic dinosaurs, the Seven C’s of History experience, a 200-seat special effects theater, planetarium shows, botanical gardens, and even a petting zoo. Every display reinforces the truth of God’s Word and invites guests to see the world through a biblical lens.

We’ll conclude our trip inspired, and filled with new knowledge and experiences to share!
