Also note that the security guards are ARMED TO THE TEETH, which did not make me feel safe. And the fact that they are not taxed, being a religious institution, in no way means a savings for you and your family. I did enjoy seeing the fantastical scenarios that their timeline, which puts dinosaurs on the earth at the same time as people, commits them to. An imaginative exercise and I'm glad a place like this exists, but they really have no business keeping animals.

Frankly, this museum is much nicer, informative, and engaging than it has any right to be. The very friendly docent on duty welcomed us warmly into the lobby and, after we paid our small admission fee, she took us through everything we needed to know about accessing the audio tour, the basics of the exhibits and I'm sure anything else that we had wanted to know. She was very friendly. The exhibits wind through the building with an early focus on the founding of the town. The major portions of the museum, however, are devoted to the flashier aspects that really shine of this small burg in the Midwest: the circus and laxative waters! Massive exhibits are devoted to the sulfur water that was an early cure-all which gave rise to the large spas that drove tourism to town. The most square footage is devoted to the huge, massive, enormous circus in miniature. My partner is all about miniatures and was totally engrossed in this display. And rightfully so; it is very impressive! Everything was above average for cleanliness, order, and functionality; which, if you've visited other small-town museums, you know isn't always the case. I left having a much greater appreciation for the town and its history!

I swear I wrote a review... Strange…read more Visited the Ark Encounter back in October during a whirlwind road trip. I'm torn on my rating. The grounds was immaculate. The staff was friendly. The shuttle transportation from the parking lot to the ark was dialed in. The gift shops were expansive. Not a great place to bring kids that are too young to read. My kids got bored right away. The ark has 3 levels and there's sooo much to read. I found some of the exhibits hard to read because the lighting levels can be low in places, and the font sizes too small. The line queues were confusing. Many times the line was situated in such a way that you couldn't bypass an exhibit. We even encountered another guest who wouldn't let us pass. We weren't trying to cut in line just skip the particular exhibit. The video they played in their theater area was incredibly hokey. We left after a few minutes. The little zoo was a nice change of pace from standing in lines and crowds. My kiddos loved the carousel. Pro tip: Visit as an adult, or with teens that are highly interested and ready to spend the day reading and studying the exhibits.
