What is the name of the 2016 theme-park attraction based on Noah’s Ark in Kentucky?

The story behind the answer

The 2016 Kentucky theme-park attraction based on Noah’s Ark is called Ark Encounter.

Ark Encounter is a Christian theme park in Williamstown, Kentucky, operated by Answers in Genesis. Its central feature is a large wooden Ark built as a full-scale interpretation of the dimensions described in Genesis. The attraction opened to the public in July 2016 and includes exhibits, animal displays, and presentations about the biblical account.

The park is separate from the nearby Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, although both are associated with Answers in Genesis. Creation Museum focuses broadly on biblical history and creationist interpretations, while Ark Encounter is organized around the Ark and Flood narrative.

The attraction’s modern construction is not evidence that a historical Ark has been found. It is a contemporary educational and entertainment site inspired by the Genesis measurements and story.
