Mom & Dad visit: Noah's Ark

After we picked my parents up at the airport we headed down to Dordrecht were a couple guys build a life size replica for Noah's Ark. This was something very unique as there are no others in the world.

Admission was a little more then I usually like to pay but knowing it would be fun and interactive for the kids helped. It was 12.50 euro for adult and 7.50 for kids 3-12. We were there for over 2 hours. We probably could of stayed longer if the kids weren't rushing from one thing to the next. 


Inside had a lot to see. There were games like the one above and recreations of room from the ark. They had displays showing the story of Noah's Ark and descriptions to go with each that were in several languages. They had a the creation story and several plastic animals spread through out. The kids favorite part was the real animals. they had some real animals mingling with the plastic ones. They had miniature ponies, rabbits, peacocks, and lots of different birds. 


 There is also a restaurant one the top level but we had already eaten. The whole place was really neat to see and experience. It was also huge and you could easily get lost! They had footprints to follow but they are starting to fade and not everyone follows. We tried to for the most part but also got kind of confused. We ended up going in the same room twice but that is ok.


They had this huge mural at the entrance/exit where you could put your face in the hole with all the animals now it. It certainly made for a great photo opportunity!
