400,000TH GUEST VISITS CREATION MUSEUM:
Two Days Before First Anniversary Celebration Begins, Answers in Genesis’
State-of-the-Art Attraction Reaches Another Significant Milestone

PETERSBURG, Ky., May 21, 2008 – As Creation Museum staff members were busily preparing for their first anniversary celebration which gets under way on Friday, they took a moment to pause and recognize the museum’s 400,000th guest—one of the members of the Bill and Amy Michaletz family of Freemont, Wis. (near Appleton).

To recognize the occasion, the family was honored with a gift package from the museum and the Cincinnati USA Regional Tourism Network. This included a Premium Annual Family Pass to the Creation Museum, a $50 gift certificate to Noah’s Café, a $100 shopping spree in the museum’s bookstore, two Cincinnati Reds baseball tickets, two Cincinnati Zoo tickets, and two Newport Aquarium tickets.

After touring, the family remarked that the museum was “amazing.” They added that it was a “wonderful way for families to see the Bible come to life.” One of the sons (age 9) quickly chimed in: “The planetarium was awesome!”

Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis president and co-founder, said “We are delighted to continue to welcome new visitors to the museum, and we are excited about the future as we continue to reach new people with the creation/gospel message.“
