Our Tips and Recommendations
We had a great experience at The Ark Encounter. There was so much to see and learn about. Ceesa took her camera along and got some great photographs. She received an award for one of the photos she took after our trip as well.

To make the most of your Ark Encounter experience, 
  • Consider visiting during off-peak hours or weekdays to avoid crowds. Early mornings or late afternoons can offer a more peaceful exploration of the site.
  • Enhance your visit by opting for guided tours or participating in additional activities offered at the Ark Encounter. These experiences provide deeper insights into the exhibits and allow for a more interactive and informative journey through this unique attraction.
  • There is a main parking lot where people park. You buy tickets and then get on a bus that takes you to the Ark. Preparing for this ahead when you have little ones is important.
  • Once you get to the Ark there is quite a bit of standing and walking. You'll want to take strollers or carriers along for little ones.
