Day 2 – Cincinnati/Florence area
Good morning Travelers – we have a great day ahead of us! After breakfast, we’ll discover the rich history of Cincinnati during our Ultimate Queen City Underground Tour. First we’ll wander through Over-the-Rhine, the neighborhood boasting the largest concentration of 19th-century buildings in America. Hear tales of the 130-plus saloons, bars, and beer gardens that once thrived here. Then, we’ll descend beneath the city’s streets to a hidden crypt that served as the final resting place for some of Cincinnati’s earliest settlers. Finally, we’ll go deep underground and explore the tunnels that played a vital role in the city’s brewing heritage. After lunch on our own, we will spend the rest of our day at the Creation Museum. Prepare to believe! This incredible 70,000 sq ft facility brings the pages of the Bible to life. You will have ample time to explore this one-of-a-kind faith experience as well as enjoy their festive ChristmasTown. Stroll through their botanical garden amid thousands of lights. Watch the Encounter the Wonder Show, which captures the wonder of Christmas by beginning in Genesis and tracing Christ through the early pages of the Bible, to his birth, life, death, and resurrection. Discover the truth about the special, mysterious Christmas star at The Christmas Star Planetarium 4K Show. Experience a live nativity, and lastly, a tasty Christmas dinner!

Be prepared to be blown away by this reconstruction of the Ark to its exact size and detail described in the Old Testament of the Bible. While we are here, the Ark has their special ChristmasTime event featuring a live music & powerful video drama presentation show called A Family Christmas. This show also includes their animated Encounter the Wonder show.
