About this place

Ark Encounter is a museum in Williamstown, Kentucky featuring a full-size Noah's Ark built according to biblical dimensions—approximately 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high—making it the largest freestanding timber structure in the world. Families can explore three decks of exhibits depicting life aboard the ark, flood geology, and the ice age, and the attraction also offers a zoo, carousel, zip lines, Truth Traveler VR, and concerts. This modern engineering marvel amazes visitors young and old with its scale and design.
