Reader’s Corner: Dinosaur fun at Creation Experience Museum

Last week, my husband and I stopped at the Creation Experience Museum, located just north of Branson at 4180 U.S. Hwy. 65, Walnut Shade. Heading out on a Kansas trip during which we would see our grandkids, I was in a bit of a tight situation, having recalled a promise to our 4-year-old grandson that next time I came, I would bring him a special gift for a special achievement. And that kid loves anything to do with dinosaurs. 

With toybox space and shelf space at a premium in their home, I wanted to make sure what we selected was worthwhile, and the Creation Experience Museum bookstore did not disappoint! There is a great selection of books for everyone, toddlers to adults, including fun adventure books written from a biblical creation-based view and solid science curriculum materials for older kids. We grabbed one of the “Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers” series, about why Scripture can be trusted; plus, a dinosaur-themed activity book that had all three grands (ages 7, 4, and 2 ½) quickly engaged. And for that “special” gift—we found a nice selection of good-quality dinosaur “stuffies.” We decided on a triceratops, which was a huge hit with its new owner! 

In addition to the bookstore, there’s plenty of other information and exhibits including hands-on experiences for the kids. Whether you’re planning a visit to Branson, or a local resident looking for quality materials to enhance your kids’ education and boost your own faith, put the Creation Experience Museum on your list!
