Previously owned by the Institute for Creation Research, the Creation and Earth History Museum is now run by the Life and Light Foundation. The museum is exactly what it sounds like – an ode to creationism and the Designer in a series of rooms and hallways that chronicle the dawn of creation through to the present. The birthday of the Earth (and universe) is depicted through photos and artists’ renderings (yup, it all started about 6,000 years ago). Visitors can also take in the lushly painted Garden of Eden and check out a model of the Tower of Babylon and actual archeological artifacts from its site, among other displays consistent with Biblical history. The Noah’s Ark chamber is the spot to take family photos. Just leave the dog in the car. No actual animals are permitted on this ark.

Open Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
