Q: Can I register by mail and/or pay by check?
A: Online registration with credit card payment is the only method by which we can process registrations.

Q: Will I receive registration confirmation through the mail?
A: When you complete your registration, you should immediately receive confirmation on the screen (with an order number). This is your ticket to the conference. You can show it on your phone or print it off for admission.

Q: How do I get my passes to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter?
A: Your registration includes a 7-day pass to the Ark and Creation Museum. The ticket you receive with your confirmation will get you on the bus that takes you to the Answers Center, where the conference is held. In the Answers Center, you will receive a name tag that will also serve as your ticket to the Ark and Creation Museum. The pass is valid May 9–21 and must include conference days. Please note that the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are closed on Sundays.

Q. When and where do I check in?
A. Check-in begins at 9:00 AM each day of Homeschool Experience at the Ark Encounter Answers Center. You can check in anytime throughout the day. If you plan to visit the Creation Museum first, just show your Homeschool Experience ticket for admission.

Q: Is there a cost for the workshops and do I need to register?
A: All workshops are free, and seating is filled on a first come, first served basis. You will be asked to show your conference name badge to enter. ALL children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult 18 or older. Youth aged 14–17 cannot be considered the responsible adult for younger siblings.

Q: What is the closest airport to the Ark Encounter/Answers Center?
A: The Greater Cincinnati/N. KY Airport (CVG) is located about 10 minutes from the Creation Museum and 45 minutes from Ark Encounter.
