Welcome to Noah's Ark in Winston
Located across from the entrance of the Wildlife Safari.
What is Noah’s Ark?
Noah's Ark is a world famous Noah's Ark theme family restaurant, bookstore, and historical exhibit featuring a life-sized re-creation of the lost Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle of Moses.
What do you have at Noah’s Ark again?
We feature the most amazing Noah's Ark Restaurant, with life- sized elephants, giraffes and other animals painted on the walls and an incredible panoramic view. We also present historical recreations of ancient artifacts that kids of all ages enjoy. And we have recreated a full sized copy of the Wilderness Tabernacle of Moses with a detailed, full-sized golden Ark of the Covenant. The stories we depict by bringing epic artifacts to life by models (some life sized!) are those that three major religions hold dear across the globe and are world heritage for all to enjoy!
We are not affiliated with any religious organization or denomination and welcome everyone to share in the fun of these fabulous stories that we have brought to life.
Where is Noah’s Ark?
It is conveniently located in Winston, Oregon across the street from the Winston Wildlife Safari and will be the future home of the Eden Clinic and Spa Resort.
What not to miss at Noah’s Ark
Don’t miss the life-size animals making their way up the gangway of the colossal land-locked boat. Experience incredible paintings and fantastic effigies of animals as they might have lived during Noah's incredible journey.
Enjoy a snack or meal in Noah's Galley served by characters in period attire, and if you have small children, watch them play in Noah's Playhouse—a miniature Ark, while you enjoy the animals and the pastoral view of rolling hills beyond the bow
Please note that we feature the ONLY permanent full size recreation of the Historical Tabernacle built by Moses on the west coast (There are only two other such permanent displays in the United States that we know of). See the mechanical priests talk about the history of the ancient people who built it.
Other exciting displays:
Holy Land Miniature Room
This stimulating and innovative room depicts the Biblical time of Christ in an expansive miniature diorama. Follow the life of Jesus from His birth to His resurrection by figuratively hiking the streets He might have walked.
Jerusalem Room
This exciting new display features an 8 foot square model of Ezekiel's Temple. You will not only see a scale model of the Temple of Ezekiel, but you can enjoy a 360 degree mural depicting Jerusalem.
Noah's Ark - Scale Model
We have commissioned a scale model of Noah's ark which is eight feet long. This fabulous display looks as the Biblical Ark might have appeared, complete with a trail of 300 scaled to size animals. It's a must see for kids of all ages. Noah saved the animals so places like the Wildlife Safari could show live animals.
Noah's Ark Room
See the animated Noah talk about the flood, and what it was like to build the Ark, and to see firsthand the Earth destroyed by water.
