With its third anniversary still over a month away, the world-renown Creation Museum anticipates welcoming its millionth visitor on Monday. Answers in Genesis, the ministry behind the museum, has planned a celebration and large gift package for the special guest, and has scheduled a photo-opp and meet-and-greet with Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis president and co-founder.

Opened to the public on May 28, 2007, attendance ran so strong the first summer that the Creation Museum saw 250,000 guests by October – a number it hadn’t expected to see until the end of the first year. Despite a struggling economy, museum attendance has remained above 300,000 visitors a year, reaching the one millionth visitor milestone in less than three years.
In addition to the high-tech Creation Museum, Answers in Genesis, a biblical apologetics ministry, includes among its outreaches more than 250 teaching meetings each year, an award-winning website, and the Answers with Ken Ham radio program heard on more than 800 stations throughout the United States.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
