Day 2

Breakfast will be available to enjoy before you start your day. Today visit the Creation Museum. Be prepared to experience history in a completely unprecedented way. This state-of-the-art 70,000 square foot museum brings to life the pages of the Bible, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and in familiar settings. Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden. Children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden's Rivers. The serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings. The museum has been divided into unusually configured spaces that allow for personal interaction with each of the 160 exhibits. The museum offers murals and realistic scenery, computer-generated visual effects, more than fifty exotic animals, life-sized people and dinosaur animatronics.
After your day at the Creation Museum you will check into your hotel at the Holiday Inn Express Cincinnati River front before heading out for your dinner cruise.
This evening enjoy a two and half hour dinner cruise aboard one of the B. B. Riverboats - the Belle of Cincinnati or River Queen. Take in the skyline, watch the river go by listen to the soft sounds of the DJ and enjoy a fantastic meal.
