Passing another significant milestone, the Ark Encounter, LLC, closed recently on the last and largest piece of land for its planned development on an 800-acre site in Williamstown, KY, off Interstate 75 (south of Cincinnati). Under the direction of Answers in Genesis (AiG), a full-scale Noah’s Ark will be constructed as the featured attraction at the Ark Encounter. Research indicates the Ark Encounter will draw well over a million people in its first year.
In addition, the completion of complex engineering and architectural work on the Ark structure has allowed for significantly greater guest capacity inside the Ark than originally anticipated. This finding has eliminated the need to build additional biblical attractions simultaneously to accommodate the projected crowds.
For more information about this exciting development, check out the recent press release from Answers in Genesis.

Awesome news. Can't wait to go inside.
Praise the Lord! Glad to hear things are moving forward with the Ark Encounter. I want to encourage churches to get involved in supporting this project. It will benefit all of us and will be a wonderful way to proclaim God's Word and the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Awesome witnessing tool! Godspeed to its completion!
Wow!! This going to give a great blow to the devil.
It makes one truly appreciate how inspired Noah and his followers were who, with no formal training or known building or engineering prowess, basic hand tools and only the lords vision to guide them in its construction could carry out something requiring so many skilled
people in this instance. “guide thine hand o lord that the impossible may become possible”
I believe the construction of this will truly be a historic moment in American history. Something of this magnitude in its architecture, the current media cababilities of our time,combined with the contraversial element behind it. Something that has gone from Sunday school forgotten folklore to an offensive belief if taken seriously brought to the surface in a theme location. Extremly excited by just the thought and clarification the architecture will bring. Epic.
Every since i read an article about an ark built in europe I’ve wanted to visit it. Now we’ll have one right here in America! I cant wait! Thanks for having the vision to build an ark. By the way I’m in for donating to such a worthy project. Let’s get the word out!!!!
We are so thankful to be involved with the ark encounter
Original ancestral kinds for dogs, cats???And so on noone really knows..but what we do know is we do not need all the species, GOD has built so much diversity into each created kind.Hope that is emphasized and thanks for your commitment to God's WORD, John 17:17!!Holy Bible
You are selling out to mammon with this for profit venture even though you have convinced yourselves that it is the only practical way. Your re-engineering will allow just the ark alone to accommodate the projected crowds. Build just the ark with non-profit contributions and await the actual crowds. Do not allow pragmatism to rule your minds. Rely on God alone as you always have. He will build your ark if He wants it built. If He doesn't then this will all lead to your ruin and with it will go the AIG ministry. As a member of a for-profit LLC AIG, even though non-profit, will share in the profits. You are using semantics to rationalize and pragmatism to fuel these decisions. In attempting to fight satan you may be giving him the means to destroy everything that the Creation Museum has accomplished.
I implore you Brothers to reconsider.
In Christ

We have to show that we are indeed serious in this. The Muslims are building mosques all over and they portages seriousness in their faith. We too have faith and our works demonstrate this.
As in the days of Noah so shall it be!!!!We are told by eternal I AM..so let the scoffers scoff and in so doing fulfill prophecy!! 2 Peter 3/Romans 1 and 2 Timothy 4 Holy Bible…You all at AIG may the LORD be with you as you seek to be faithful and true and unashamed of HIS WORD in this world, HE will not be ashamed of us all either as we are told if we are not ashamed of GOD's WORD/Christ here and now!! As they scoffed back then so they do now as Christ says in WORD..as in the days of NOAH so shall it be!! You are all in many prayers …stay humble and GOD will exalt in due season, love from Carson Cali
My 8 year old daughter and I are geeking out about this project. I read about it last year, and told her about it recently as we have worked on planning a church trip to the museum in a few weeks. She will be so excited to hear about this new development! She's has already been dreaming about what it will be like to experience the ark. We will continue to watch the development of this project with great interest.
I believe that the story of the ark has been watered down to "elementary Sunday school" fare in the imaginations of most people, and am looking forward to a model of it that will put it in full scale, and give people a much better idea of the big picture, even if we can not replicate the unimaginable power of God that moved to cleanse the earth and preserve Noah and the lives in his care on that boat. Thank you for submitting to this vision. May the Lord guide it and bless it. I hope that it serves to bring a new understanding of the greatness and power of the Lord to the hearts, minds, and spirits of as many people as there are grains of sand upon the shore!
