The Ark Encounter, a life-size replica of Noah’s ark described in Genesis, officially opens on July 7th in Grant county, Kentucky.
Built to the specifications given in the Bible, the giant wooden ark is 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, making it the largest timber-frame building in the world. Inside the ark there’s a museum dedicated to the story of Noah (offering a literalistic interpretation of the story) and sharing the Gospel.
The ark is just Phase 1 of a much larger planned Christian theme park that will include an ancient walled city, Tower of Babel, and first century village, among other things.
“I believe you’re going to find all sorts of people from all walks of life,” he told Christian Post, “with all sorts of religious backgrounds who are going to come here and even if they don’t share our biblical view, they can’t help but be impressed by the structure, craftsmanship and by the attention to detail of world class exhibits inside.”
