Yes we Literally went inside Noah’s Ark. Ok, they did not recover the actual Ark, It was a Replica. But life size and with all the cages for the vigorous animals and Noah, and his family. In this post I will address a lot of the big questions about the Ark and its contents as well as providing a list of things that surprised me. Please enjoy and learn a lot!
Most people including me (before the museum) imagine the Ark a lot smaller than it is and pink! ( I am kidding about the pink. 🙂 It is only a tiny bit smaller than the Titanic. It is over a hundred ft tall and at least fifty feet wide. How did Noah fit all the animals? God gave Noah the exact dimensions of the ship and God helped Noah fit all the animals (except wet one’s) in.
How did Noah feed and care for all the animas with only eight people? Each person had to care for 850 animals! (Gargantuan or small) The cages were designed so you did not have to go to each cage every day. (Side note, when we got there i thought mabey we were at Dollywood) There were water feeders and food troughs and the waste fell down chutes into a tray at the bottom for easy cleaning. All the humane and animal waste was emptied into the ocean via a chute. How did Noah build the zenuous (hospitable) Ark? He built it over many decades after Decades of planing and logging. His family helped him build it and they all traveled around the world with him on it.
How did Noah gather all the animals? I am going to give a straight answer to this question and other relative facts (i need 12-31 facts). He did not gather them. God gathered them and sent them to him to be with him. Now, he did not need to take all the animals like fish and some bugs. (Yellow moths went on board to feed the lizards) And not all animal species we have tuday existed back then. Also giraffes and elephants were smaller. Why did only Noahs family go on the Ark? They were were the only ones because the rest of the world was filled with sin and it needed to be cleansed.
Now for the Fun Facts you all have been waiting for.
- How Noah could fit everything in so neatly!
- Inside was way bigger than i expected!
- Every inch of the outside had to be water-proof
- little details could not be overlooked
- Imagine living with all the smell and heat.
- Zebras were also on the on the ark and lions!
- Ark was the name Noah choose
- Bears were alive then and on the ark!
- There were even dinosaurs and two T-Rex’s

- -Kangaroos lived and were on the boat.
- Bugs were mostly left outside the boat but some had to be inside
