Dive into interactive exhibits that bring the story of Noah’s Ark to life. Learn about the science behind the Ark’s design, animal care logistics, and the flood's biblical account. Exhibits use cutting-edge technology and life-like models to illustrate the challenges Noah faced and the miracles he experienced.
