The Ark Encounter will include a full-scale Ark, built according to the biblical dimensions and constructed with materials and methods as close as possible to those of Noah’s time.
More than just the Ark, the project will include a large complex of associated attractions, theaters, amenities, event venues, and ample parking to properly accommodate the expected crowds. It is designed to be family oriented, historically authentic, and environmentally friendly
The nine main areas of the Ark Encounter are:
The Walled City: Along with plenty of shopping and food, guests experience Bible events through various themed venues situated on 40 acres.
The Ark: A full-size wooden Ark.
Noah’s Animals: Live shows with animals from around the world, and a large petting zoo.
Children’s Play Area: A highly themed, interactive environment where kids can explore and play.
The Tower of Babel: A 100-foot-tall themed building with exhibits and a 500-seat 5-D special effects theater.Journey Through History: This themed attraction takes visitors on a trip through events of the Bible, experiencing spectacular special effects
The First-Century Village: This attractive area presents a town as it might have appeared in the Middle East.
Aviary: three bird sanctuaries presented in a natural setting, plus a nearby butterfly exhibit.
Special Events Area: A venue for large gatherings; this area will also showcase some of the Leader in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building techniques used to build the Ark complex.
The builders plan to use environmentally friendly techniques throughout. They will also rely on local companies and products made in the area. The builders also plan to use solar, geothermal, wind and water technologies in the mechanical systems throughout the park.
Slated to open in the spring of 2014, the 160-acre complex located in Northern Kentucky will showcase the full-scale replica of Noah’s ark.
