Celebrate Our 10th Anniversary with Us!

On July 7, 2016, we officially opened the Ark Encounter to the public. Check out the photos below to see how much this faith-building attraction has changed over its first 10 years.

We are so thankful for all the Lord has done in the lives of our guests through their visits to the Ark Encounter!
