Johan's Ark is a remarkable full-scale replica of Noah's Ark, constructed by Dutch contractor Johan Huibers using modern materials but following biblical dimensions. Located in Kinderdijk, this floating museum offers a unique experience: visitors can explore the ark's three decks, which house life-sized animal sculptures, exhibits on biblical history, and a restaurant. The ark is a striking sight, measuring about 150 meters long and 25 meters high. Inside, you'll find interactive displays, a petting zoo with live animals, and a cinema showing the story of Noah. The ark's sheer scale and attention to detail make it a memorable stop for families and those interested in religious history.
