Ark Encounter- Williamstown, Kentucky

16 photos
A little less than 50 miles from the Creation Museum is the Ark Encounter. It is a life size replica of Noah’s Ark. 

The Ark

Similar to the Creation Museum, developers have assembled an interior of how they think the original Ark may have looked based on Biblical studies.

The Ark presents with a ground floor entrance with ADA approved ramps to decks 1-3. There are also elevators on each deck.

The designers admit that they have taken Ark-tistic license with some interpretations. 

The developers have given the wives names so that the reader can distinguish who's who.

Once again, if you don’t want to read to understand the meaning or interpretation of each exhibit, this isn’t the place for you.

This is a collage of three scenes depicting building the Ark along with preparation of food. Run by animatronics, the men speak and doubt Noah and his folly for building an Ark.

Each diorama has a plaque so that visitors will know what scene is being depicted. 

In this scene preparation is being made to stock the ark with necessities

Some of the displays run by animatronics allowing the figures to move and speak.

How did they feed the animals?

This Biblical theme park is huge. The Ark alone immense. I have shown you a tiny fraction of the exhibits inside the Ark. I never did make it to deck three.

In addition to the Ark Encounter there is an exotic animal zoo, numerous eating places, Family playground, ziplining, monument walk, aviary, gardens,camel ride, live shows on stage and more.

This Biblical park contains not only the Creation Museum but other features of interest. The property has camel rides, a zoo of unusual animals such as a zorse which is a cross breeding of a zebra and a horse. Maybe you’d prefer ziplining or panning for gems at the Mining Sluice. These are just a few of the activities visitors can choose.

If you don’t want to read, don’t go inside the Creation Museum. Each display explains what it is being depicted. The existence of dinosaurs is woven into the story of the Creation as you can see by the huge skeleton that greets you in the lobby.  

The story of Adam and Eve takes place through a series of dioramas. Visitors take a self-guided tour that begins with Eden and ends with the Fall of the couple.

Further relation to sin and the future is portrayed

through a flash of scenes showing a man watching a screen and it is said to be pornography, a girl calling an abortion clinic and other scenes of  acts considered to be sinful. 

The museum and its designers purpose is to show a "literal interpretation of the Genesis creation...in the Bible." (creationmuseum.org.)
