we have been on holiday ( a short one lol) & we have been to Kentucky TN too see the "ARC" & I have to say it was fascinating! I won't spoil it for others but I will tell you one of things that we learned while we were there. Craftsmanship was amazing & the detail so fine. They are made from a 3D printer on a large scale & made out of Styrofoam & then they go from there. Some of the animals created with fur are put together with a needle & thread using one single strand @ a time. That's more patience then I have with a needle & thread lol.

Beautiful! We are planning a trip to that area next Sept. What is the ARC? I have not heard of it. Hugs. Nan W

It's name is The Ark Encounter. You can google it & find their web page that will explain it all. It's amazing. It's in KY about 3 1/2 hrs. from Knoxville, TN off I-75.

Thanks Gerry. I have added it to our agenda for the trip. Hugs. Nan

Wow this is cool

We were up there earlier this month! It is AWESOME! Built to scale and when you come around that bend & there it is, blows your mind! So recommend you go see it if you have a chance, cuties. We were there on a Mon. after school started and there were not the huge crowds like there were when it first opened.

lol they are really lifelike so I can see why you would think this.

Beautiful pic and amazing info. Looks like that deer, which looks real, has a big stall. Cannot imagine the size and number of stalls needed, it must be huge! Maybe some day I will get to see. I would not have the patience with needle and thread either. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Barba

it is the size of 2 football fields & 8-10 stories high. I do hope that you get the chance to see it but I would recommend waiting @least another year. They are adding more exhibits & a petting zoo.

Looks like taxidermy to me. Saw 5 live deer in my woods at dusk tonight - the most ever at one time on my property.

Sounds like you had a good time!
