Ark Encounter

Day 1: We leave Kansas and Missouri behind as we anticipate our tour to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum! By evening we are east of St. Louis for our first night’s stay.

Day 2: This afternoon we tour the world-renowned Kentucky Derby Museum and Churchill Downs. The museum has interactive exhibits where you learn about the history of the great race! We also take a guided, historic walking tour of the Churchill Downs Racetrack, stable exhibits, and grandstand. Our hotel is in the Covington KY area for the next 3 nights. (B, L)

Day 3: We begin our day at the Creation Museum. This state-of-the-art museum allows you to venture through biblical history, stunning exhibits, botanical gardens, and much more! To cap off the day, we cruise the Ohio River on a BB Riverboat Dinner Cruise. Take in the skyline, watch the river go by, listen to the soft sound of the DJ, and enjoy a fantastic dinner. (B, L, D)

Day 4: Today is the day reserved for the incredible Ark Encounter! Prepare to be blown away as you explore this full-size Noah’s Ark, built according to biblical dimensions.
