One interesting thing about the first floor (near the entrance area) is hearing the sound of a storm on the outside.

It was fascinating and interesting to observe the cages and sometimes hear the sounds of birds or animals. There were no live animals on the ark except at the petting zoo area – I think on the third floor.

There is a lot of walking, but if you are concerned about that, scooters or wheelchairs can be rented or you can bring your own.

One thing in which I thought the designers excelled was bringing out the personality of the eight people on the ark.

Cerwin was fascinated with the construction and food and water supply.

There was a wide variety of pens and storage areas.

There was an area with an explanation of what kind of animals the architects thought were on the ark.

The designers expected that there was a workshop/tool area. I never thought about that, but I expect repairs had to be made during the year they were on the ark.

The living quarters was my favorite part of the ark.

This is where personalities were displayed.

Noah and the dove he released.

We spent two hours inside the ark, but didn’t go into a lot of the side rooms where research was explained. We did sit down and enjoy two movies. I expect if you read all the research and watched the movies, you could spend another two hours inside the ark.

I loved this place and would go through it again. There was lots of information for those who like details and historical research.

Tomorrow night I will show you around the “village” that surrounds the ark.
