Ark Encounter, Answers Center

Howdy, partners! Get your ticket for fun at the Wonder Junction Showcase at the Ark Encounter on January 24–25, 2025—with a bonus day on January 23 at the Creation Museum!

After you arrive at the Answers Center on Friday, you’ll enjoy in-depth teaching from a variety of speakers on the birth, life, death, and resurrection of our Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ. And you’ll be challenged to answer the question “How should we live as we wait for his second coming?” You’ll want to bring your entire VBS team to get them equipped to lead yer young’uns to the Lord.

The next day, you’ll be immersed in all that Wonder Junction has to offer. From an overview of the Bible lessons to demos of crafts, snacks, science experiments, and games, your brain will be filled with ideas you can implement in your own VBS. You’ll enjoy making decorations you can take home, learning how to develop a fun assembly time, meeting the folks from Children’s Hunger Fund and Seeds Kids Worship, hearing from the fabrication team that builds our sets, and more. It will be a day jam-packed with teaching and fun!
