The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are bringing back their annual festivities to the Christmas season.
A laser show at the Ark Encounter will highlight this year’s “Christmastime at the Ark Encounter.” At the Ark’s sister attraction, the Creation Museum, the 16th annual “ChristmasTown” program has decorated the new conservatory with Christmas themes located in the Garden of Lights.
From Nov. 29 to Jan. 4, Tuesday through Saturday and on select days, these two events are almost free (there is a fee to park). They are from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
A short video of the new laser show at the Ark can be viewed here.
Along with the annual live nativity at the museum and the tens of thousands of multi-colored lights, free concerts and dramas will be held on select days at the museum.
Also, inside the museum, a free special effects show, “Encounter the Wonder,” plus the Creation Zoo, will offer children and adults a hands-on experience. Guest can also check out workshops where they can create their own Christmas ornament.
“We are thrilled to be able to add more activities such as the laser show, dramas, and even more music this year,” CEO Ken Ham said in a press release. “I’m excited to welcome guests to experience the wonder of Christmas at both the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum as they view the thousands of stunning lights. Many programs will happen in the warmth of the Answers Center at the Ark and Legacy Hall at the Creation Museum.”
More about the events can be found on the Ark and museum websites. The Ark Encounter is located at 1 Ark Encounter Drive in Williamstown. The Creation Museum is located at 2800 Bullittsburg Church Road, Petersburg.
