Recently, I showed you some exciting progress happening at the Creation Museum on its new restaurant and exhibit, and today, I’m taking you on a tour of the brand-new Welcome Center at the Ark Encounter!

Check out this sneak peek of the Ark’s new addition, which will be an attraction in itself!

The Welcome Center and bus drop-off area is anticipated to open sometime in February 2026, and the Jerusalem building will open in 2027 once this model—which will have 5,000 buildings, 15,000 miniature people, and thousands of plants—is finished. It’s going to be phenomenal!

We praise the Lord for all the exciting upgrades that will impact so many people. Start making your plans to visit us for the Ark Encounter’s 10th anniversary this July, and be sure to head to the Creation Museum while you are here as well!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
