Museum of Creation and Earth History

The Museum of Creation and Earth History is a science museum in Santee that focuses on interpreting Earth's formation from a biblical perspective. The exhibition spans multiple themed areas that connect geological and biblical topics together.

The museum was founded in 1992 by the Institute of Creation Research and served for years as a platform for creationist research. In 2008, the Life and Light Foundation took over the facility and continues its operation.

The museum displays interpretations of biblical locations like the Garden of Eden and Noah's Ark through scientific and religious perspectives. Visitors can see how these narratives are presented through exhibits and reconstructed spaces.

The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM and offers free admission for all visitors. Monthly educational events and activities are held, which you should check ahead of your visit.

The museum houses live reptile exhibits displayed alongside geological presentations about Grand Canyon formation. This combination of animal demonstrations and earth science creates an unusual visitor experience.
