ChristmasTime 2025
Christmas at the Ark Encounter will be from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on November 28, 2025–January 3, 2026, Thursday through Saturday on select days (see the green days on the calendar).
Join us on select evenings for our Christmas at the Ark Encounter event—for only the cost of parking!
