My wife and I would enjoy this attraction. Also, is there something else to do in the region after we see the Ark?

Actually the Ark is doing well as far as attendance.

Quote:The Ark Encounter has continued to see strong attendance since its grand opening in July of 2016. The 510-foot-long Ark, located off I-75 at exit 154 in Williamstown, will expand hours for Spring and Summer seasons, remaining open until 7 p.m. through May 31, and until 9 p.m. through Aug. 31. 

Quote:Additional park expansions will be announced later this Spring.

Kudos to the owners for bringing in visitors and looking to expand. The place has only been open a few months, so perhaps the community's complaints of no payoff may be a little premature. 


As to your desire to visit  there are a good number of things to do in the area, most cenetered around the Ark. Just google Williamstown, KY
