Today we got a little later start than what we planned. When constantly on the go it catches up with you and you just have to sleep in at some point. Today was one of those days for both of us. It was a little after 10 before we finally got in the truck and we planned on being at the Creation Museum when it opened at nine. Oh well, you know what they say about plans, made to change.
We got the truck secured and started to the towards the museum. We passed a pretty water area on the way.
We weren't expecting to have to cross a swinging bridge so we took the time for photo ops.
Neither one of us knew what to expect when we went to the Creation Museum. We didn't have any pre-conceived ideas and hadn't read anything about it. Our main focus was The Ark.
Its main focus seemed to be dinosaurs.
We get that the museum was about the creation of the world, but for myself, I never gave dinosaurs much thought. I was taught in school that they walked the earth millions of years ago and that was that. It boggles my mind that just a mere 6 to 10,000 years ago the dinosaurs were here. I'm just having a hard time wrapping my mind around that.
These fellas were in the main lobby.
We walked through the museum part first. This is still a work in progress so there were areas that were blocked off by curtains but the majority of it is done.
Adam in the Garden of Eden with the animals.
I was really hoping a bit of animatronics had made its way inside the museum and that this dinosaur started moving at just the right time to scare the heck out of him. Just as well, I'd be laughing so hard I wouldn't have been able to get this picture.
This is a very intricate quilted piece that hung in the stairwell. I didn't understand everything on it but it was a joy to look at.
We saw the "movie" IN SIX DAYS in the 4D theater, The theater is just wonderful, you not only saw the 3D movie with the best 3D glasses ever (!) but the seats were wonderful and we "felt" so much through the seats, hence 4D.
There were gardens to walk through and though we would have loved to do that when we headed that way it was pouring. There is also a children's playground area, a petting zoo, camel rides, and a zipline
We also attended a program in the lecture hall that was actually a podcast.
This experience certainly left us with lots to ponder.
