The Ark

This reconstruction of Noah’s ark is a work of art even by today’s standards and is an incredible sight to behold at 510 feet long and 51 feet high. The size of the ark is based on the dimensions given in the Bible—and an entire exhibit is dedicated to explaining how we arrived at the specific dimensions of the Ark Encounter.

World-Class Exhibits

The biblical account of the flood of Noah’s day raises many questions—how did Noah build the ark, how long did it take, and how did all the animals fit on the ark—and every exhibit carefully examines the biblical text and evidence from our planet to respond to those questions and share the answers and logical conclusions.

There is so much more to see and do outside the Ark. Enjoy all these fun extras included in the admission price!
