What is the best museum in Northern Kentucky and the best in all of Kentucky? Well, obviously we think it’s the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum! And Kentucky agrees—the Creation Museum has been nominated for best museum in Kentucky in the Best of Kentucky contest from Kentucky Living, while Ark Encounter is a finalist for best museum in the Best of NKY contest and a finalist for best kid-friendly attraction in Kentucky Living’s the Best of Kentucky contest.
The Ark Encounter is an incredible attraction and a great tourism asset to Northern Kentucky.
With three decks filled with world-class exhibits, the largest freestanding timber-frame structure in the world (it’s truly an architectural marvel), an interactive zoo experience, a children’s playground, a unique carousel, and so much more, the Ark Encounter is an incredible attraction and a great tourism asset to Northern Kentucky. It’s no surprise this amazing attraction is a finalist for best museum in the Best of NKY contest and best kid-friendly attraction in the state in the Best of Kentucky contest. In fact, the Ark is the biggest themed attraction in Kentucky and the biggest Christian themed attraction in the world.
And the Creation Museum features stunning exhibits—including our brand-new Radiance exhibit—a totally unique Plants of the Bible Conservatory, beautiful botanical gardens, a zoo, playground, planetarium, special effects theater, and so much more! Again, it’s no surprise this incredible attraction has been nominated as best museum for the Best of Kentucky contest.
