The exhibits inside the ark tell the story of Noah - alongside replicas of animals and dinosaurs.

Visitors tired from exploring the cavernous structure can dine at a themed restaurant, watch daily animal shows or even go on a zip line at the Ark Experience theme park.

The story of Noah's Ark follows one man's quest from God to build a ship large enough to hold his family and two of every species of animals. The ark then protected all who were within from a massive flood which God unleashed on earth.

Traditionally, no dinosaurs were mentioned specifically in the Bible.

PHOTO: "This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high." (Genesis 6:15)
1 cubit = 1.5 feet = 0.4572 meter
That is, about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high or about 135 meters long, 23 meters wide and 14 meters high

"Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks." (Genesis 6:16)

The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
PHOTO: "The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days." (Genesis 7:24)
Genesis 8:13-22: 13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”

18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.

20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.

22
“As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”
