Our spectacular Christmas programs have begun in N. Kentucky! Thousands of families have already visited to enjoy the gorgeous lights, live nativity, Christmas caroling, and more. And there’s still plenty of time for you and your family to come and enjoy ChristmasTime at the Ark Encounter and ChristmasTown at the Creation Museum, now through December 30 (select dates—see calendar for details). Oh, and did I mention they’re free (you just pay for parking!)?

Here’s what guests have been loving as they bring their families to experience the wonder of Christmas:
