CREATION MUSEUM
Arrive at The Creation Museum early this afternoon. Biblical history comes to life as you enter the Time Tunnel. Be transported back 6,000 years to the time of creation & the Garden of Eden. Then, experience history unfolding before going through films & displays. The Creation Museum shows why God’s infallible Word, rather than man’s faulty assumptions, is the place to begin if we want to make sense of our world.

We round out our day with a unique & memorable evening cruising the Ohio River. Our BB River Cruises will feature a delicious dinner while taking in the beautiful scenery of the Cincinnati Skyline.
