Today we travel to Grove City, OH for our overnight lodging at the Drury Inn & Suites. Dinner is on your own. You can enjoy the free Kickback dinner at the hotel at 5:30 PM or you can venture out to one of the restaurants nearby.
After breakfast at the hotel, we will travel to the Ark Encounter, a one-of-a-kind historically themed attraction. In an entertaining, educational, and immersive way, it presents a number of historical events centered on a full-sized, all-wood ark, which is the largest timber frame structure in the USA. Dozens of exhibits within the ark will bring to life the biblical account of Noah's Ark. Enjoy the day learning how and why Noah built the ark from Noah himself, see what the animals in Noah's time looked like, and visit with modern day animals at the petting zoo. You've probably seen pictures of Noah's Ark in children's books, complete with giraffe heads sticking out of the top. The real Noah's Ark, the one described in the Bible, was huge. It was amazingly seaworthy - a ship that kept the occupants safe during a year-long worldwide flood. Prepare to be astonished as you explore the life-sized reconstruction of Noah's Ark! Lunch will be on your own while at the Ark Encounter at Emzara's Kitchen or one of the other available on-site eateries. After our visit, we will depart for Dry Ridge, KY, for our overnight accommodations. Dinner is on your own this evening.
Following breakfast, we will travel to the Creation Museum. This huge state-of-the-art facility brings the pages of the Bible to life, casting its characters and animals in dynamic form and in familiar settings. You can also take in a theatre presentation with special effects which takes you on a fantastic quest to find the real purpose and meaning of life. Lunch is on your own and available at Noah's Cafe. You can visit the Petting Zoo, Botanical Gardens, and Bookstore. There is so much to do at the Creation Museum! Our lodging for this evening will be at the Drury Inn & Suites in Grove City, OH. Dinner is on your own. You can enjoy the free Kickback dinner at the hotel at 5:30 PM or you can venture out to one of the restaurants nearby.
This morning we will check-out and depart for home. With stops for rest and lunch, arrival home is scheduled for later this evening.

About the Ark
Ark Encounter features a full-size Noah’s Ark, built according to the dimensions given in the Bible. Spanning 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, this modern engineering marvel amazes visitors young and old. Ark Encounter is situated in beautiful Grant County in Williamstown, Kentucky, halfway between Cincinnati and Lexington and right off I-75.
Have You Ever Wondered . . .
As you enter Noah’s world aboard the massive Ark, you’ll tour three decks filled with scores of world-class exhibit bays. These stunning exhibits allow you to experience what Noah’s life may have been like.
Deck 1 immerses guests in the size and scope of the biblical ark as visitors walk through a storage area and learn about animal kinds.
Deck 2 focuses on the pre-flood world, animal concerns, and an exploration of Noah and how God could have prepared him for his monumental task.
Deck 3 covers plausible living quarters for Noah and his family, flood geology, post-flood events, and a special Museum of the Bible exhibit.
The real Noah’s Ark, the one described in the Bible, was huge. It was amazingly seaworthy—a ship that kept the occupants safe during a worldwide flood.
You’ll learn how Noah might have cared for all the animals and how the Ark was big enough to fit them all on board.
What do legends from around the world tell us about Noah’s Flood? What happened to Noah, the animals, and the Earth after the Flood?
Experiences
From unique dining to dynamic speaker presentations, concerts, hands-on activities, and more, the Ark Encounter is packed with experiences to make your visit fun, educational, and memorable. Some of these activities are an additional cost, but many are absolutely free with your Ark admission.

What travelers are saying ....
This was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on!! I can definitely say it was life-changing.
I loved that JE planned most of the meals to focus on the local cuisine. It was a great experience!
I love this organization! It makes planning so easy and we have never been disappointed.
Thank you for your faithfulness in serving Jesus through this wonderful ministry of student travel. I highly recommend JE!
JE is Christ-centered and they understand the importance of training students to have an eternal perspective.
The trained guides of JE have led with such excellence that our students have been encouraged to share Christ.
I’ve traveled with JE for the last nine years and I would not imagine traveling with any other company.
JE’s depth of knowledge, logistics, and well-trained guides are why I don’t take trips with any other company.
