TENTATIVE ITINERARY:

Day One – Monday, June 15, 2026: A morning departure from the Rochester area has you heading to the Northern, KY and Cincinnati, OH area where small-town warmth & hospitality go hand-in-hand with big-city amenities, attractions, and a bit of German fusion. Upon arrival check into your hotel. You will have time to freshen up before departing for AN INCLUDED dinner at a popular restaurant in the area.

Day Two – Tuesday, June 16, 2026: After INCLUDED breakfast at the hotel, travel to Williamstown, KY to the Ark Encounter, a Christian evangelistic outreach intended to bring the Ark of Noah’s day to life, complete with a 510-foot-long full-size ark. The Ark will equip visitors to understand the reality of the events that are recorded in the book of Genesis. Prepare to be blown away as you explore this life-sized reconstruction of Noah’s Ark. Built according to the dimensions given in the Bible, the Ark Encounter contains three decks of stunning exhibits. Outside the Ark, you’ll find Ararat Ridge Zoo. Visit animals from around the world like Tibetan yaks, kangaroos, and ostriches. Then imagine you live in biblical times and take a ride on a camel. After ample time for your visit, return to Cincinnati for an afternoon guided tour of Cincinnati. The tour is the perfect introduction to your Cincinnati experience, offering you an afternoon in the city once known as the Beer Capital of the World! Your local guide will take you under their knowledgeable wing as you explore the highlights of downtown Cincinnati, Fountain Square, Washington Park and trendy Over-the-Rhine area.

Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden; children play and dinosaurs roam near Eden's Rivers, and the serpent coils cunningly in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Majestic murals, great masterpieces brimming with pulsating colors and details, provide a backdrop for many of the settings.
