The Ark Encounter is a great place for some family fun
Here is a video we made from our recent trip to the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky. During our trip, we were amazed by the impeccable design of the ark. Touring the ark and imagining what it may have been like aboard this enormous structure was absolutely fascinating. Located on the same grounds, the Ark Encounter also had a zoo, carousel, zip lines, VR Experience, plenty of restaurants, and lots of opportunities to listen to various presentations by speakers through Answers in Genesis. We will have more videos and information about our time at the Ark Encounter soon to come. Be sure to check our link in the bio for our articles and videos.
