If you and your family want to get away for a little while this summer, but have no idea where to go or what to do, there are several Christ-based family locations around the country that will provide an unforgettable experience.
1. The Creation Museum & The Ark Encounter
Located in Petersburg, Kentucky, this 75,000-square-foot museum offers a tour through Biblical history with exhibits, gardens and a planetarium. The museum allows you to explore the world God created from a Biblical perspective. The Ark Encounter is also nearby as well. This is a real life-sized replica of Noah’s Ark.
2. The Holy Land Experience
Disney parks aren’t the only attraction in Orlando, Florida. The Holy Land Experience allows you to walk through Jerusalem and other areas in Israel that Jesus walked through. They have a replica of the Tabernacle and a Jerusalem Marketplace.
