Outreach Update: We’re Reaching Beyond NKY

Construction Update

This new attraction in Pigeon Forge will be unique in the world—it’s certainly world-class! I can’t wait until it is finished and opened in this popular tourist area.

A number of Answers in Genesis staff were recently in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, to visit our stunning new attraction called Truth Traveler that will open June 2 in partnership with Mindscape Creative. This is a VR “ride” experience and planetarium—and every bit the quality of what you would expect at Universal Studios or Disney. People are going to be amazed!

Those who are familiar with our Ark Encounter and Creation Museum attractions know the quality of our exhibits: They are spectacular. And this new attraction in Pigeon Forge will be unique in the world—it’s certainly world-class! I can’t wait until it is finished and opened in this popular tourist area.

Also in partnership with Mindscape Creative, we will be opening an attraction in another popular tourist area—Branson, Missouri. That one is coming in two to three months, so stay tuned for an opening date. While I was in Branson recently, speaking at the Teach Them Diligently homeschool conference, I visited the site of this coming attraction which will be in the iconic Andy Williams Moon River Theatre.

Our Branson Truth Traveler will also feature a VR Experience (“ride”) and a stunning movie about the life of Christ and the gospel called Fear Not. This won’t be a normal movie experience. With projection mapping, Fear Not will be shown across the front and around the two sides of a theater that was digitally mapped for this immersive experience.

The VR “ride” at both locations will take you back to the beginning of time and through the major events of history leading up to the death and resurrection of Christ and will give a clear presentation of the gospel.

Our friends at Logos Theatre are also bringing their stunning production of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe from C. S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia to the state-of-the-art theatrical stage at our Branson location. We’re thrilled for that (and this live production will also be coming to the Ark Encounter in January 2026).

These new attractions use the very latest technology—it’s like bringing Disney to Pigeon Forge and Branson, but with a bold Christian message!

Answers in Europe

Two of our speakers from AiG Latin America are currently in Europe for Euro Tour 2025 (going on now through the middle of June). Please pray for Joe Owen, Arturo Valdebenito, and the coordinators as they travel across the UK, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Poland, and Spain, giving free presentations at churches and other venues. And if you’re in Europe, check out the calendar of events and make plans to attend for yourself and invite your friends and family. We’re thankful for this opportunity to equip the church with answers and challenge unbelievers with the message of biblical authority and the gospel.

Yes, we’re reaching “beyond Northern Kentucky” with new attractions and worldwide events (not to mention our websites and social media) to obey Christ’s command,

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:19)

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
