Estes Ark in Estes Park is an antique store shaped like Noah's Ark, featuring a vast collection of stuffed animals and unique antiques.

You remember the story from Sunday school and may have even seen the 2014 Darren Aronofsky flick starring Russell Crow, but have you ever SEEN Noah's Ark for yourself? For most of us, the answer is a resounding no, but thanks to this boat-shaped Colorado antique store, your answer will soon change:

Located in Estes Park is the cleverly named Estes Ark Antique Pavillion, Toys, and Miniature Shop, which is shaped exactly like - you guessed it! - Noah's Ark.

Measuring in at an impressive 100-feet-long by 50-feet-wide, Estes Ark looks exactly like how you picture Noah's Ark, down to the massive wooden exterior and...

...(Stuffed) animals galore!

As per their website, Estes Ark has "Every animal that boarded the Ark" via their collection of stuffed animals, comprised of nearly every shape and size you can imagine.

In addition to their inventory of 10,000+ unique stuffed animals, Estes Ark also houses a collection of beautiful antiques for sale, ranging from vintage decor to one-of-a-kind furniture and apparel.
