Celebrate 10 Years of Ark Encounter with Us

It’s hard to believe but, yes, the Ark Encounter—the world’s leading Christian themed attraction—opened 10 years ago this July 7! We’re planning an anniversary celebration—and you’re invited!

Enjoy these photos of the Ark Encounter on opening day and now 10 years later. Wow, what the Lord has done! What a stunning difference.

Join us at the Ark Encounter July 9–11, 2026, for times of celebration, teaching, and worship with myself, my dear friend Ray Comfort from Living Waters, and Steve Green—CEO of Hobby Lobby and a great friend of the ministry. There will also be concerts from our resident artists, TrueSong, and a drama from the Bob Jones University drama team. And there’s a special Astronaut Encounter 2 event (Saturday, July 11), featuring three astronauts. (Registration for the Astronaut Encounter 2 can be purchased separately or as an add-on to your 10th Anniversary Celebration experience.)

You can also upgrade your experience by adding dessert with myself and Ray Comfort on Friday or by adding dinner with the astronauts on Saturday. These experiences (and the Astronaut Encounter) are likely to sell out, so get your tickets right away.

Join us as we praise the Lord for 10 years of impacting people with the truth of God’s Word!

Join us as we praise the Lord for 10 years of impacting people with the truth of God’s Word! Yes, because the history in God’s Word is true, the gospel message is also true, and that’s the message we’ve been powerfully proclaiming at the Ark Encounter for 10 years now!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
