This life-sized replica of Noah's ark is considered to be the largest timber-frame structure in the world, towering at 51 ft. high, and 510 ft. long, 85 ft. wide. The measurements they used in this ark replica were the specifications mentioned in the Bible by God through Noah. (Genesis 6:14 -22; 7: 1-10).
It's breath-taking just seeing the size of the ark on the outside with its impressive craftmanship.
The Ark Encounter is not just a museum itself but a unique theme park attraction which opened in Williamstown, Kentucky in 2016. The ark served as the centerpiece of the park. There is a small coffee shop and pastries in deck 2, but there are lots of restaurants and food area outside the ark, a zoo which includes live animals, a zip line, family playground and other exhibits; - basically it's designed as a theme park!
The VR experience is also worth trying, with a fee and it's highly popular. This is one way to enhance your experience by going back in time and witness Noah's days. This is in a separate building called Truth Traveler.
The Answers Center is also another place to learn with a 2,500 seat capacity auditorium where you can enjoy presentations from speakers, music and videos, - all in an air-conditioned comfort seating.
There are lots to do and see here. If you don't want to miss anything one day is not enough!
