If Sunday school isn't exciting enough, take a trip to Kentucky. Ken Ham, who runs the Creation Museum, just finished building his magnum opus: Noah's Ark.

For the past six years, he's been planning and building a 510-foot-long, $102 million replica of the Ark from the bible. It just opened, and you can visit it in Williamstown, Kentucky.

Ham is a young Earth creationist who believes the Christian Bible is literal and universe is around 6,000 years old. "Ark Encounter," like the Creation Museum, is a landmark that's meant to advance that belief. It has lifelike models of dinosaurs, animals that still exist, and Noah and his family.

It's astonishingly detailed: take a look around.
