Built by the measurements specified in the Bible, the life-size Noah's Ark located in Williamstown, Kentucky, is called the Ark Encounter. Although it is the primary attraction at Ark Encounter, exploring the ark is a breathtaking experience that is just one of many things to do there. You can explore the place while you stay in the Hotels near the Ark Encounter.

The Ark Encounter was founded as a testament and a witness for both the current and future generations. Because of Jesus Christ and His death, burial, and resurrection, Christians can escape the judgment and condemnation of sin. In the same manner that the Ark provided Noah and his family with a means of escape and safety, Christ offers us deliverance from the everlasting penalty of sin. One of the best depictions of Jesus in the Bible is found in the ark. 

It's hard to imagine the ark's size until you go see it! Stunning and imposing both inside and out, it has three large decks and a ground level. You will need to walk a lot, but if you need assistance, wheelchairs, electric scooters, and strollers can be rented. The Hotels near the Ark Encounter can also help.
