Tickets to the ark and nearby Creation Museum are $75 for adults and 24 for children 5-12.
Here ya go.....
If religion is involved, someone is making a buck off it.
In the video shown in the link they show inside the ark a cage with dinosaurs. Interesting that those two dinosaurs were still around the time of Noah while the rest of their clan died off 65 millions years ago.
Hearty twosome I guess.

They weren't dinosaurs, they were oversized chickens, scarier.
I spoke to god about this, this morning. She hasn't stopped chortling.
Why do I get the feeling if a God were angry with us, we'd know somehow?
May be he is just playing along for the time being.
Or maybe He's actually very happy because He's about to give the whole world an unending paradise of pleasure that can now be appreciated, since everyone's went thru hell.
Well in that case, pass the coal.
How could a supreme deity possibly put people thru so much suffering and death and NOT be confident to show how really good He can be? Our God will face our people with utter and complete joy knowing that He reverse ALL the pain and then some. By a mile.
The Daily Kos points to an article in the publication Church & State that notes Ark Encounter was given “$18 million in state tax incentives to offset the cost of the park’s construction; a 75 percent property tax break over 30 years from the City of Williamstown (a town of about 3,000 near where the park will be located); an $11-million road upgrade in a rural area that would almost exclusively facilitate traffic going to and from the park; a $200,000 gift from the Grant County Industrial Development Authority to make sure the project stays in that county; 100 acres of reduced-price land and, finally $62 million municipal bond issue from Williamstown that Ham claims has kept the project from sinking.”
“It’s a really bad deal for taxpayers,” Steve Wood, a judge-executive from the area told the Lexington Herald Leader. Wood took office after the incentives were granted. “It was a shock for me because I didn’t really know all the details. Maybe I should have.”
The park says it provides jobs for roughly 900 people, all of whom have to “confirm agreement with Ark Encounter’s Statement of Faith,” according to the Ark Encounter employment website. The requirement demands applicants “must profess, interalia, that homosexuality is a sin on par with bestiality and incest, that the earth is only 6,000 years old, and that the bible is literally true in order to be considered for the job.”
God doesn't get mad, he gets even.
The park has been a dismal failure at great cost to taxpayers. I can't say I'm surprised or disappointed though. To work there you need a sign a paper that you believe the Earth is 6000 years old. In ther words you need to be blind and stupid. Of course like Trump they blame the failure on the media and atheists.
Creationists Who Built Failing Noah's Ark Park Blame Media
Not here, but eventually.
Would you believe that some people would argue against that? Hell, they even tried to kill God for offering it.
See my sig
Oh, and another one I like is

Yeah, of course creationists are blind and stupid, and of course this is turning into an anti Trump thread eventually.
Congratulations, you won.
Now, lets talk about insurances. Any thoughts on how they try to get away with whatever?
Exchanging snarky remarks is fine, and I am all for it. However, lets not forget the real issue.
What if....this was something you deeply cared about, and the insurance company you trusted to do right by you told you to buzz off?
Creationists are blind and stupid, and ignorant and live in an idiotic fantasy land where they want to replace proven science with bronze age fables.
Irony is ......ironic...
That does explain Trump.
Here ya go.....
