Inside are museum-like displays featuring replicas of the animals living during Noah's time, dinosaurs and all, notes NBC News.

The construction of the attraction, which is officially called the Ark Encounter, was headed by Ken Ham and his creationist group Answers in Genesis.

Take a look inside the attraction:

It is their belief that the world came into being 6,000 years ago fully outfitted with flora and fauna, including dinosaurs but excluding polar bears, which they say emerged in the post-flood era.

The ark's builders anticipate the attraction will draw over 2 million visitors a year.
