Recently my husband and I went to Kentucky. Why Kentucky you may ask? I would ask too. There are several places to visit in Kentucky. The first stop we made was in Williamstown, Kentucky. There you will find The Ark Encounter. It is a model of Noah’s ark and it is massive. I guess it had to be in order for all those animals to fit inside.

| Ark Encounter |
It opened on July 7, 2016. We have been wanting to visit ever since. Now that attractions are starting to open, I thought it would be a good time to go. And sure enough, it was the perfect time to go. It was not crowded at all.
This ark is a sight to behold. It is massive. You really cannot fathom how big until you are there in person. As you can tell the landscaping is awesome throughout the exhibit. Just take a look at some of the landscaping art I saw.
There is an abundance of beautiful flowers. Inside the ark is built for easy access with ramps as you go through the several levels of the ark. There are also elevators, wheelchairs, and motorized chairs. The inside is full of cages with faux animals. It is set up as to how the creators think it may have been. I found it fascinating.
There is a small zoo there with live animals as well. There is zip-lining available for a fee. There is a 3D Theatre called Truth Traveler you can try (for an extra fee) which my husband and I did and a place where speakers and singers perform (we did not pay extra for that).
There is food available to purchase and places to sit and eat.
All in all, it was a great day. And yes it was an ALL day event.
There were people of all ages enjoying the venue. I took lots of pictures, but I do not want to spoil your trip. I hope you can visit sometime soon.
Stay tuned for more posts on our trip coming up in the next several weeks!! We would love to hear from you and if you had the pleasure of visiting the Ark Encounter.
