THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME

Howdy, partners! Welcome to Wonder Junction! There’s no greater joy than to praise the name of the Lord all day long. But how can yer kids do that if they don’t know who Jesus is or what he’s done for them?

Here at Wonder Junction, we marvel at Jesus and live for his glory.

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!

Wonder and amazement await us each day at Wonder Junction, where kids gather at the All Aboard Assembly, a high-energy beginning that includes wacky intros, lively songs, a Mission Moment, and prayer. Then they rotate through five fun sites:
