Noah's Ark is based on a biblical story that records the dimensions of the vessel—26 meters wide and 15 meters high. However,according to a BBC report,the park has also drawn strong criticism from non-religious individuals, who argue that it has a strong religious tone, lacks scientific basis, and, most importantly, only hires Christians as staff, so it should not receive tax incentives.

The interior of the ark actually displays biblical stories, such as pairs of animals. Although it is a highly controversial attraction in Kentucky, it is estimated to attract 2 million visitors in its first year after opening.
