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!
