I just recently found out about this place and since our recent parasha was about Genesis 6---I thought it would be good to discuss this.
Ark Encounter features a full-size Noah’s Ark, built according to the dimensions given in the Bible. Spanning 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, this modern engineering marvel amazes visitors young and old. Ark Encounter is situated in beautiful Grant County in Kentucky, halfway between Cincinnati and Lexington and right off I-75.
Has anyone here been there?
I've seen some videos and it looks like a really cool place to visit. I've also read about some protests held there too.
The Ark Encounter even has it's own YouTube channel where you can see a few videos of the place.

Rainbow Lights at the Ark
The Ark is illuminated with rainbow colors in the evening as a testament to the true meaning of the rainbow. After the Flood, God designated the rainbow as the sign of His covenant to never again destroy the whole earth with water.
And that's just a small portion of it, here it is in the day time
Ark Encounter is the largest timber frame structure in the world, built from standing dead timber, in part by skilled Amish craftsmen. The Ark is an architectural and engineering wonder containing three decks of world-class exhibits.
It has all kinds of exhibits, even ones to show how there was a world wide flood showing all the whole earths stories of this great flood.
Get to learn more about the man, Noach
Lots of things to do while there and in the area
