Five Gifts of Experience to Finish Your Christmas Shopping

Christmas is just around the corner—that’s obvious from the number of families pouring into the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter for our free Christmas events. They’re loving the gorgeous lights, dramas, live nativity, music, and so much more—as well as shopping for unique Christmas gifts in our gift shops (including handmade fair trade items). But you don’t even need to shop in person to find a great gift for someone on your list—I have five “gift of experience” ideas for you.

  • The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe tickets. Yes, Logos Theatre is bringing the world of Narnia to life yet again on the stage of the Ark Encounter’s Answers Center with C. S. Lewis’ classic tale, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. If you’ve never had the opportunity to watch a Logos Theatre live production, you are missing out. They are truly stunning world-class stage productions with lifelike puppetry, an incredible set, and talented actors. Tickets make a great and affordable gift for the whole family.
  • Registration to Answers for Men. This faith-building men’s conference is coming once again to the Ark Encounter, March 6–7, 2026, and features teaching from myself, Pastor Jack Hibbs, Dr. Owen Strachan, astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore, author Chuck Black, and Darrell Harrison of Just Thinking Ministries. I strongly encourage fathers to bring their sons (ages 12+) to be encouraged to “act like men, be strong”—to know what it truly means to be a man in our very confused culture. Registration includes free admission to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.
  • Registration to Answers for Women. And for the wife, mom, sister, or daughter on your list, consider our women’s conference. The weekend conference is already sold out, but there’s still space (for now!) to register for the identical weekday conference, April 6–8, 2026. Featuring teaching from Heidi St. John, Megan Basham, Dr. Rosaria Butterfield, Dr. Albert Mohler, and others (including myself and AiG’s Dr. Georgia Purdom and Avery Foley), this conference will equip women with a biblical worldview regarding sexuality. Again, I encourage moms to bring their daughters (ages 12+)—our young people need this kind of teaching now more than ever! These tickets also come with admission to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.
  • Alaska Cruise. If you really want to go “all out,” consider securing a spot on the upcoming Answers in Genesis and InGrace Ministries cruise to Alaska (one of my favorite places on earth—it’s so gorgeous), May 23–30, 2026. Not only will you enjoy the beauty of God’s creation as you sail the Alaskan coastlines and see glaciers, wilderness, and remote towns, but you’ll also enjoy teaching from AiG cofounder Mark Looy, along with Dr. Georgia Purdom, astronomer Dr. Danny Faulkner, Jim Scudder of InGrace Ministries, and Bruce Malone of Search for Truth Ministries. This makes a great gift for your spouse!
  • Truth Traveler Meet & Greet (Branson, MO). Join myself and astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore at Truth Traveler–Branson for a special speaking event on January 11 (registration required) and a “meet and greet” event on January 12, 2026. The talk and meet and greet parts are free, but you can use a special discount code and gift a Truth Traveler admission ticket to a friend or loved one so they can experience this cutting-edge 5D attraction that transports guests to pivotal moments in biblical history with immersive virtual reality. (And if you’re a pastor or church leader, there is a special preview option that includes free admission and some special bonuses for you and your wife! Please register to reserve your spot.)

Well, those are my Christmas gift ideas for you—I hope that completes your list! (Need more ideas? Check out AnswersBookstore.com.)

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
