Day 1: A morning departure from your hometown has you heading to Northern, KY, and the Cincinnati, OH area, where small-town warmth & hospitality go hand-in-hand with big-city amenities, attractions, and a bit of German fusion. Upon arrival, check into your hotel. You will have time to freshen up before departing for dinner at a popular restaurant in the area.

Day 2: After breakfast at the hotel, travel to Williamstown, KY, to the Ark Encounter, a Christian evangelistic outreach intended to bring the Ark of Noah’s day to life, complete with a 510-foot-long full-size ark. The Ark will equip visitors to understand the reality of the events that are recorded in the book of Genesis. Prepare to be blown away as you explore this life-sized reconstruction of Noah’s Ark. Built according to the dimensions given in the Bible, the Ark Encounter contains three decks of stunning exhibits. Outside the Ark, you’ll find Ararat Ridge Zoo. Visit animals from around the world like Tibetan yaks, kangaroos, and ostriches. Then imagine you live in biblical times and take a ride on a camel. After ample time for your visit, return to Cincinnati for an afternoon guided tour of Cincinnati. The tour is the perfect introduction to your Cincinnati experience, offering you an afternoon in the city once known as the Beer Capital of the World! Your local
guide will take you under their knowledgeable wing as you explore the highlights of downtown Cincinnati, Fountain Square, Washington Park, and the trendy Over-the-Rhine area. Tonight, depart for Newport, KY, for a delicious dinner and entertainment at a popular restaurant.

Day 3: Enjoy breakfast at the hotel, then travel to Petersburg, KY, to spend the day at The Creation Museum. The state-of-the-art 70,000 square-foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life, casting its
characters and animals in dynamic form and placing them in familiar settings. Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden; children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden’s Rivers, and the serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings. Your day will end with a scenic riverboat dinner cruise… a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience that all of your group will cherish forever. See panoramic views of downtown Cincinnati that you can’t get anywhere else before heading down the Ohio River all the way to northern Kentucky.

Day 4: Enjoy breakfast this morning, then you will check out and depart for home with lasting memories of the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum.

Optional Insurance: $71.00 per person, Double Occupancy | $90.00 per person, Single Occupancy
