Trip to Kentucky Part II - The Creation Museum

Image
After spending a day at the Ark Encounter, the next day my husband and I spent a day at The Creation Museum.  We had been there years ago but thought while we were in the neighborhood we would visit it again.  It is well worth a visit.  There is a deal on the tickets if you buy tickets to both venues together. ~ Ark and Creation Museum Combo The Creation Museum It opened May 28, 2007, and is located in Petersburg, Kentucky, just 40 miles from the Ark Encounter. This building is 75,000 square feet.  Lots of walking involved.  A good way to get those steps in.   It has beautiful grounds with lots of flowers, bridges, and statues. There are other activities as well such as zip-lining, an obstacle course, and a small zoo. There is something for all ages to see and do.  Of course, some of the activities have additional costs. Inside the museum, there is plenty to see as well.  Make sure you visit the Planetarium with no additional costs. ...

Trip to Kentucky Part 1 - Ark Encounter

Recently my husband and I went to Kentucky.  Why Kentucky you may ask?  I would ask too.  There are several places to visit in Kentucky.  The first stop we made was in Williamstown, Kentucky.  There you will find The Ark Encounter .  It  is a  model of Noah’ s ark and it is massive.  I guess it had to be in order for all those animals to fit inside. Ark Encounter   It opened on July 7, 2016.  We have  been wanting  to visit ever since.  Now that attractions are starting to open, I thought it would be a good time to  go.  And sure enough, it was the perfect time to go.  It was not crowded at all.   This ark is a sight to behold.  It is massive.  You really cannot fathom how big until you are there in person.  As you can tell the landscaping is aweso me throughout the exhibit.  Just take a look at some of the landscaping art I saw. There is an abundance of beautiful flowers. ...
