My wife and I took our 3 daughters here on Saturday. I was looking for something to do with the girls and found this little gem. It was an almost 2 hour drive from home so I hoped it would be worth it. The center opened at 1pm so we had plenty of time to get there. We were greeted by Marsha when we got there and could tell right away this was a good choice. This place is packed full of knowledge and between Marsha and Connie, they can blow your mind with information. We spent 3 hours looking around, watching short films, talking to a parrot and shopping in the book shop. I am surprised I had never heard of this shop before but they have been here for years! Go visit and learn how dinosaurs and dragons fit into the Bible! Lets support this business and businesses like this one. Especially in times like today that we are having identity problems in this world!

The animals are very clearly not taken care of. This poor dove has been pulling its feathers out due to stress. The reptiles are enclosed in spaces entirely too small and have no where to climb or hide. Truly heartbreaking. I don t recommend giving them any of your money. It clearly doesn t go to the care of these animals.

This is not science, nor education, nor truth. What your children are going to be exposed to is a predetermined narrative supported by selective facts. We all are free to believe what we want, but don t call it science. Call it what it is religion. Our children are already falling behind in math and science. This is not helping.

Kathy was very nice and knowledgable as well as the other staff! Before we went I was looking online for the cost, and couldnt find one because there is No fee to enter but they do accept donations. They had animals and fun activities for the kids. It was a great place to visit!

The idea that this is on display for people to accept as fact is appalling. Poisoning the minds of children and adults alike with pesudoscience portrayed as fact by a bunch of nonscientists claiming superiority behind their religion is a sad testament to the ignorance of people. The Bible has no place nor qualifications to be considered anything close to scientific.

This a great place to go and learn about Creation, Israel, and the Titanic. The people are super friendly and give out great information on any thing you have questions about. They have short movies on information about Creation, Israel, and the Titanic. The Dinasour fossils are so neat. The scrolls that had writing on deer skin were Amazing, as well as the replica of the Ark of the Covenant. They have a parrot that talks, and is so incredibly smart. A robot that tells how old you are - down to the seconds, And gives you a print out of it, and another one that tells you the meaning of your name. A HUGE chair for you to take your picture by. And a book store to buy T-shirts or books and things for kids. All in all a great place to go with family, friends, or just to get away from your same old routine. My son and I really enjoyed it, and thought it was very informational. Im so glad we have it Abilene!!

Great little gem of a museum in the heart of Abilene. Exhibits are free, but a donation is recommended. Great place to spend an afternoon and learn about the Titanic (did you know they guy who found it lived in Abilene?), Israel, The Ark and so much more. They have a few animals that are hands on and a cool mini sandbox for the kids. They also have a summer camp that my son loved. They even had the kids dig for fossils. They offer so much information, you wont have time to do everything. Its a great way to keep the kids entertained without all the money. Bonus fact: they have a Woolly Mammoth tooth, youll have to check out. Be prepared, you will have to plan multiple trips!

Great people Great place I used to be apart of the brainwashed masses believing that evolution could be a possibility. In my own research I found that it takes more faith and imagination to believe in evolution then the simple fact we do have a Creator. Having a father who taught HS science who also believed in creation showed me the huge gaps and flaws in evolution and their dating processes. In the right conditions scientists fossilized a turkey in less than a year. There are trees standing straight up within the layers that prove a great flood took place all over the world. Its totally possible the earth could be younger than it is. Ive been researching giants for years besides the accounts in the bible there are cultures all over the globe that document giants. There has been a huge cover up especially here in North America!! Im so blessed to have had my eyes opened to the Truth of whats really going on and pulling my head out of the box of what the systems of the world want me to think and believe. Bc those systems are failing us.

The people were friendly and down to Earth. The science was more of pseudoscience that was caused via tunnel vision through loose and strict biblical interpretations of text. There were many ludicrous claims such as: giants exist, evolution is bogus, the Earth is 4,800 years old, the Titanic was hated by god, homosexuality is terrible for humanity, and Harry Potter is a gateway drug to Satanism. I find irony in the fact that their motto is: Critical thinkers ask tough questions. If youre into religious ignorance that uses fallacies to support their agenda, this is the place for you.
