Don’t Miss Animal Encounters During Your Ark Encounter or Creation Museum Visit

One of the most popular features of our two zoos—Creation Zoo at the Creation Museum and Ararat Ridge Zoo at the Ark Encounter—is our daily animal encounters. Families absolutely love seeing some of our ambassador animals up close and learning more about them from a biblical worldview.

That’s the uniqueness of our zoos—families are taught about animals from a biblical-worldview perspective! So different than most zoos that teach from an atheistic, evolutionary worldview.

These animal encounters happen most days at both attractions and are hosted by our talented zoo staff, all of whom are passionate about our animals and about imparting a biblical worldview to our guests.

You won’t want to miss these incredible animal encounters when you visit. Check the daily schedule for details about when our zookeepers will be conducting these or other live animal programs at our attractions.

And kids 10 and under visit free! Plan your visit for spring break or this summer at ArkEncounter.com and CreationMuseum.org.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
