Apparently people have been struggling to get their head around how big Noah’s Ark would have been to fit all those animals in.

So a Christian ministry is making it easy for them – by building a lifesize, 510ft, replica.

The team behind it hope the ark, being built in a field in Williamstown, Kentucky, will rival Disneyland as a tourist destination.

It’s being named Ark Encounter, and will have three floors of exhibits and several elevators – not sure Noah had them, though.

Ken Ham, president of the Christian ministry Answers in Genesis, said: ‘I believe it will be one of the biggest attractions outside of Disney, Universal, people like that — it’s going to be one of the biggest attractions in this country.’



And he added: ‘Most people don’t really understand the size of the ark, and we’re going to answer questions like, how could he fit all the animals on board.’

The ministry said the ark is just the beginning – the site could soon boast a Tower of Babel and a first-century Middle Eastern village.

Oh, and a large petting zoo. Obviously.

Eventually live mammal and bird shows will be held there, says the ministry.
