The Creation Museum is unlike any other museum you are likely to have visited. Primarily established to promote the Genesis account of the creation (which completely dismissed the theory of evolution), the museum is home to a large collection of taxidermy animal species, along with antique tools and various bible quotations and slogans in support of creationism.

There are over 200 animals to admire, if you have a taste for this particular art form. Exhibits include wild boar, various antelope, pheasants, caribou, deer and even a fur-covered fish. Entrance to the museum is free but you will be encouraged to leave a donation.

Address: Creation Museum, 156 NW Broad Street, Southern Pines, NC 28387, Phone: 910 692 3471
