Exhibits
The Creation Museum exhibits are very visual and as you walk through them, you will find many video screens with open-captioned, short, educational videos. Much of the audio content in the museum is available visually in the exhibits.
Store
The
AnswersBookstore
lists a variety of DVDs with captioning and subtitles.
Theaters
Closed captioning is available upon request for all
Stargazer Planetarium
shows. Simply ask when purchasing Planetarium tickets. Closed captioning is also available upon request for
The Last Adam
show, and there are closed captioning devices available at the
4D Theater
as well.
Mobility
Botanical Gardens
The Botanical Gardens feature a paved nature trail that is a mile in length including five bridges and a boardwalk. Please reference the
Accessibility Map
for more information on bridge accessibility.
Creation Zoo
With the exception of the center interactive pen (which has a sand surface), all of the zoo’s pens are fully viewable via paved trails.
Entrances
Ramps are located at every entrance and exit door to the Creation Museum. The first entrance features an automatic door.
Exhibit Access
Virtually every exhibit (except the "Dino Den") is wheelchair accessible. A series of gradual ramps take visitors through the Creation Museum’s main exhibits. This one-way path passes through all of the Walk-Through Biblical History and ends on the lower level, where you can bring an elevator back to the main level.
Parking
We have many accessible parking spaces available in our main parking lot. If you need assistance finding an available space, alert the individual directing traffic.
Restrooms
All restrooms throughout the facility and grounds are accessible. Wheelchair accessible water fountains are also available near the main interior restrooms. For more information on adult changing tables, please talk to a team member at the Guest Services desk inside the Creation Museum.
Theater Access
All theaters are accessible—the Special Effects Theater and the Planetarium include wheelchair locations and companion seats. See a theater attendant for more information about reserving these spaces.
Strollers, Wheelchairs, Wagons and ECVs
The museum is wheelchair- and stroller-friendly. You may bring your own, or Guest Services offers both strollers and wheelchairs for the convenience of all visitors on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to limited space, only single and in-line double strollers are allowed inside the museum.
Single strollers are available for a $15 fee.
Wagons are available for a $20 fee.
Manual wheelchairs are available for a $15 fee.
A limited number of Electric Convenience Vehicles (ECVs) are available for a $45 fee. ECVs are available from Guest Services on arrival at the Creation Museum.
Rental fees are non-refundable.
Sensory
Crowds and Sensory Overload
The Creation Museum serves thousands of guests each day during peak seasons, so crowds can be congested in the main exhibits. Take a break at any time from the exhibits via an emergency exit (a stairwell back to the first level) located on the right where the Corruption exhibits begin and just after the Garden of Eden ends. (
See map.
) The expansive grounds and gardens, the Creation Zoo, and the playground can be great places to relax.
There are also shortcuts throughout the main exhibits, including one early on to bypass the
Biblical Authority
room if it is congested. This option is a two-way door located directly beside the Lucy hologram in the Starting Points room. Additionally, there is a bypass on the right in the Christ, Cross, and Consummation area to avoid the Legacy Hall auditorium crowds. This bypass will take you to the next exhibit called
Borderlands
. Reentrance to the exhibits can be done at any time during your visit.
You can also plan to arrive at the Creation Museum an hour after opening time to avoid the morning rush. And since most guests will begin with the main exhibits, you can choose to visit the grounds, zoo, and playground first or catch a morning program (found on your daily schedule). If you purchase a meal while on-site, try to go before noon or a little later in the afternoon to avoid lunch crowds.
Exhibit Information
The Creation Museum exhibits are a visual experience with many signs, videos, and displays.
Immediately upon entrance to the main exhibits, there is a theater that can be crowded and includes loud audio. The video that plays is about one minute long and can be skipped or simply returned to later.
Starting Points is the next room, and various video displays play on the walls. Please note that there is substantial audio stimulation in this room from the different videos playing around you.
Additionally, the first Corruption exhibit, halfway through the main exhibits, includes mild flashing lights, flashing pictures on the walls, and various sounds of war and pain—all depicting the brokenness of this world after sin entered. This exhibit can be passed through quickly if needed.
Note that while we encourage guests to move through the main exhibits in one direction (and you can reenter at your convenience), it is acceptable to go to the end and work your way backward to see an exhibit you bypassed earlier in the day.
See more information in our
Accessibility Map
.
Sensory Kits, Noise-Reducing Earmuffs and Earplugs
For guests with sensory sensitivities, complimentary sensory kits, as well as noise-reducing earmuffs and earplugs, are available and can be accessed at the Welcome Center upon arrival and the Guest Services desk inside the Main Hall of the museum. Simply provide the museum team with your name and phone number to utilize these options during your visit. All items can be returned to the Guest Services Desk before your departure.
(Note: Reservation of these options is not necessary.)

Dragons: Quest for Truth

Dragons: Quest for Truth
and
Encounter the Wonder
contain a sequence of flashing lights that may affect guests who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or other photo sensitivities.

Millions of people have toured the Creation Museum—now you can learn from the one-of-a-kind displays and exhibits in this brand-new production featuring a walk-through with filmmaker Peter Schriemer.
Beginning with a brief welcome from Answers in Genesis and Creation Museum founder Ken Ham, this documentary “tour” overflows with faith and strengthening commentary about the amazing features found throughout the museum and grounds. Hear the inside story about the exquisitely handcrafted Tree of Life and take a chronological walk through history, including the worldwide flood of Noah’s day and the amazing geological and climate changes that followed. Like never before, you will understand sin’s effect on our world as the events of the garden of Eden and Noah’s flood are described. And you will look forward to the soon-coming consummation of this part of eternity.
Learn about the 80-seat planetarium, 200-seat special effects theater, a full-scale section of our life-size Noah’s Ark, the beautifully landscaped museum grounds, the delightful petting zoo, and so much more!
