Given its sheer size, the first thing people tend to notice when they arrive in Williamstown, Kentucky, is the Ark Encounter. The structure is somewhere between a theme park and a religious museum centered around the story of Noah’s Ark.
According to Travel Kentucky, the Ark stands 510 feet in length, 85 feet in width, and 51 feet in height, which is intended to match the dimensions discussed in the Bible. Recent years have also seen the Ark Encounter incorporate a virtual reality experience with moving seats.
