Ark Encounter is a Christian theme park that opened in Williamstown, Kentucky, United States, in 2016. [2] [3] The centerpiece of the park is a large representation of Noah's Ark, based on the Genesis flood narrative contained in the Bible. It is 510 feet (155.4 m) long, 85 feet (25.9 m) wide, and 51 feet (15.5 m) high.
The Biblical description of the Ark is brief, beyond the basic measures of length, height and width, [1] and the exact design of any "replica" must largely be a matter of conjecture.
