I only did a 4 star because of the fact that it was not mentioned anywhere that if you do not have your own vehicle you are basically stranded there. There are no taxi's and Uber/lift is not always available, like very rare. So if you are relying on that to get around, you will be very frustrated and possibly stranded. One guest that was there for auber over to the Ark Encounter but could not get back. She ended up getting a ride from an employee there. My car broke down and thankfully we brought food and water because you can't get delivery either. And that nice employee at the Ark, helped get us around until it was fixed. Nothing is under 2.5 miles from this location so, walking with 4 children was not the best option. Just be warned. The facility itself was amazing! So beautiful wonderful staff member (Susan) i believe... she helped so much! Went out of her way for us! Thank you! Very quiet, except for the Evac Helicopter that was in and out, it was very cool to see especially for the children, but when it leaves in the middle of the night it can be a little jarring. We had great weather, and really enjoyed the great outdoors and views! Took so many pics. We brought a travel badminton set and the other children and mine had a great time playing. No TV so having all of our card games and things made for great family nights. If you're a camping kinda person, it's way better than a hotel, everything like coffee, tea, plates and things were in the room.
