faith-based attractions in NKY

As a home for many religious events, NKY has some very unique attractions that will have you singing our praises.

Complete with life-like animals, historical exhibits and lots of family-friendly fun, the one-of-a-kind Ark Encounter is a gem among Northern Kentucky's endless array of attractions.  It's located on a beautiful 300-acre pastoral Kentucky setting and is the largest timber-frame structure in America.  Come see for yourself how truly remARKable it is!

The Creation Museum, featuring exhibits designed by a former Universal Studios creative director, is housed in a state-of-the-art 75,000 square-foot museum. Included in admission are the museum’s Special Effects Theater, botanical gardens, petting zoo and more. Other features like the Stargazer’s Planetarium and the exhilarating Screaming Raptor Zip Lines can be added for an additional charge. 

And do not miss St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption. This historic structure was elevated to the rank of a minor basilica by Pope Pius XII in 1953 - and is an architectural marvel to behold. Can you count all the gargoyles?
