After breakfast at the RV, we traveled about 1 hr 20 mins to the Ark Encounter. It was an amazing site to see how large the ark really was .
Before entering the Ark, we visited a small petting zoo. It was fun to see and talk to the animals. One of our friends, Brad, loved to make all kinds of animal noises to them. I kinda think they looked at him and thought, “these humans are kinda strange!”
After entering the Ark, it’s massiveness was very apparent. Rows and rows of wooden handmade animal cages of all sizes lined the first and second decks. Along with water and food containers stored away.
On one of the decks, you could lookup to the upper decks. Another example of how large and y’all this ark really was. Replicas of the boat was very informative and well done.
Pictures of the hull and interior structure of the Ark really doesn’t show you the massive pieces of wood used to build this Ark. Truly amazing!
One of the many things I found interesting was how they tried to answer any question you might have via multiple large message boards.
There was only 1 door. Not sure of the design of the door, but this was the size of the door. BIG!
After seeing 3 decks of the ark, we had seen everything to see. It was a really neat thing to experience. Many of the exhibits were informative, but many were for those visitors not sure about the ark event, belief in the Bible, and Salvation. I was very impressed with how the founder used this adventure as a ministry to those of unbelief. We had a great time visiting there!
After leaving the Ark Encounter, we ate a late lunch at a local Cracker Barrel and returned to the RV park to rest. Most of the afternoon it rained, so we stayed in, ate some supper, and retired for the night. Tomorrow we intend to do some hiking at the Red River Gorge.
I’m so jealous! That looks so neat! I liked the comparison charts of the time it took to make and the differences. Very cool!
