We finally got to go to the New Creation Museum. Some friends of ours went the same day so we got a group rate (you need 15 or more). It was an awesome day!
The museum is done so well. Everything is very professional, much like Disney type displays/movies etc…, except of course without the million years. Have you ever been to Epcot? We love it, great place to learn but many references you have to “filter”. We even skip the one on the sea because there’s so many but I digress…

We ate lunch in the picnic pavilion. God blessed us with a mild but windy November day. The grounds there are beautiful. I can only imagine in a few years what it will look like when it all “grows” in! As we walked over they had a walk through a “swamp” looking area with misters going. It looked really cool.
We did do the Planetarium and enjoyed it. I was hoping for a curriculum to go along with it! There was so much in the presentation. To really take it all in I think you’d need it at home where you could watch it over and over or take notes. They do have a book but you know being the homeschool mom I’m thinking CURRICULUM! My oldest was at least “mildly” interested and he really does HATE science and certainly what they presented would be high school. My younger kids enjoyed it too but it was a lot of information.
So if you’ve been thinking of going, go! Many of the concepts were not new to my kids since that’s all we teach them but it was very reinforcing. There were many “new” discoveries too that give the kids “ammunition” so to speak. Things like the dinosaurs red blood cells and soft tissue found recently. If you do go don’t miss the Men in White show. It’s the best. Great effects!
Oh, and yes, we did of course buy something at the book store. My 12 year old wanted a book on evidence of Dinosaurs. He promised a report after he read it so we got it for him. I also had looked at the Pilgrims Progress curriculum and finally got it. I think we’ll use it next fall. It will fit in where we’ll be with our MOH II.
