The Creation Museum presents a “walk through history.” Designed by a former Universal Studios exhibit director, this state-of-the-art 70,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life.

A fully engaging, sensory experience for guests. Murals and realistic scenery, computer-generated visual effects, over fifty exotic animals, life-sized people and dinosaur animatronics, and a special-effects theater complete with misty sea breezes and rumbling seats. These are just some of the impressive exhibits that everyone in your family will enjoy.

NYC attendees are encouraged to visit this museum. Saturday or Sunday afternoon would be a great time to add this special attraction to the NYC experience. Thursday morning on the way home is another option. A quick walk-though of the museum exhibits will take a couple of hours. Plan half of a day to fully experience everything offered at the Creation Museum.

Answers in Genesis is offering a free digital preview of their Answers magazine. Check it out here.

Interesting item in the news:

The competition schedule will be posted by July 1 at www.fwbnyc.com. We do not receive all the competition entries until all state competitions have been held, which will not happen until mid June. It takes at least a week to compile and organize all the details to produce the schedule. We will post that information as soon as we have it.
