Newport aquarium and creation museum

My question is, can I do both of these in one day? We are planning the Ark encounter on a Tuesday and these sites on a Wednesday. We will be staying at Big Bone Lick State Park. Thanks
  • You could spend 2-3 days at the Ark, but we did it in one day. We have done the aquarium in an afternoon (with kids) and the creation museum in 5-6 hours. I hope that answers your question.
  • One full day is needed at the Ark, especially if you like to read a lot of the information provided. I think you need two, maybe,three hours at the aquarium, depending on your interest. Need several hours at the Creation Museum. You might not see everything, but I think you will feel like you saw plenty. You also have to allow at least 30 minutes driving time between aquarium and Creation Museum.
  • Plenty of good places to eat next to the Aquarium. There is parking right at each location. If you want restaurant suggestions near the Aquarium, I can help as we only live five minutes from the Aquarium.
  • Thanks, we added another day to our trip, This is next week, Monday at the ark, Tuesday at the aquarium and walk along the river and maybe the people bridge and Wednesday to the museum. Thanks for your suggestions. We are staying at Big Bone state park so would like some time at the camper.
  • They have a nice little museum at Big Bone and an easy to walk trail where you can see the bison. At the Creation Museum, there is a nice garden behind the museum.Walking the Purple People Bridge is fun.
