The Good Life’s Currently Planned Trips
Oct 28 - Oct 29, 2019 - The Ark Encounter and Creation Museum
Prepare yourself to be transported back in time with a visit to the full sized replica of Noah’s Ark and Creation Museum!
The Ark is the largest wooden timber structure IN THE WORLD, and is 510 feet long and more than 50 feet tall. The entire structure is climate controlled. The Ark contains three levels of exhibits – Before the Flood, During the Flood and After the Flood. On the second level, you will be able to sit down on benches and watch a short 20 minute production of an interview with Noah. On the third level, you can sit on benches to watch another production on why the Ark was built. Also, a “How Do We Know the Bible is True?” Exhibit is on the third level.
The Creation Museum is a 70,000 square foot “walk through history” museum providing an alternative to the evolutionary natural history museums. See how its interpretation of the Bible -the “history book of the universe” - provides an account of the beginning of all things. We will take a journey through a visual presentation of the history of the world, based on its 7 C’s of History - Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross and Consummation, where we will discover an interpretation of how science confirms biblical history.

Today the mansion is the world’s oldest museum dedicated to photography. After the tour you will be able to walk through the formal gardens of the estate. Next, we’re off to experience Rochester’s Lilac Festival. Every May, the Festival signals the start of spring as 22 acres of Highland Park displays more than 500 varieties of lilac bushes, from the deepest purple to the purest white, from lightly scented to irresistibly aromatic. Our group will be treated to lunch at the Elmwood Inn, a local favorite, before continuing on to Niagara Falls, Ontario. By late afternoon we’ll check into the beautiful Hilton Niagara Falls Hotel where everyone will have a view of Niagara Falls from their room!
Day four starts at the Floral Showhouse with its collection of orchids, succulents and other tropical plants. The month of May also offers the opportunity to see an amazing display of hydrangeas. We’ll make photo stops at Horseshoe Falls, the Floral Clock and the lilac gardens before our arrival in the charming, historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. This lovely village has been described as the prettiest town in Canada.
