Behind the Scenes: Christmas Preparations Are Underway

Yes, it’s only early October, but our grounds teams at the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are already busy preparing for this year’s 18th annual Christmas experience. This colossal project takes three to four months of hard work every year to turn the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum into some of the most spectacular Christmas light displays in Northern Kentucky.

Be sure to bring the family to each attraction for unforgettable evenings of festive lights, live music, dramas, a live nativity (Creation Museum), laser show (Ark Encounter), holiday dining, gift shopping, and much more.

Our Christmas programs take place Thursdays–Saturdays from November 28, 2025, through January 3, 2026, and Tuesday, December 23 (closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day). Christmas at the Ark Encounter and Christmas at the Creation Museum are both free (you just pay for parking).

Plan your visit at ArkEncounter.com/christmas and CreationMuseum.org/christmas.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
