One of our family's goal this year is to be more intentional with the time that we have together, so I planned a fun little trip for our family! We visited the Noah’s Ark exhibit at the Skirball Cultural Center this past weekend and it was absolutely amazing! Em and I have been squeezing in a bible story during our quiet times, so it was something I was really looking forward to! Though it was a manmade exhibit, it was mind blowing to visually see how we’d imagine Noah’s Ark to be in our minds. The exhibit is made up of many artists who've collaborated together and created this beautiful installation. A key part was that everything was made up of recyclables! Every aspect to the very minor details were very thought out.
We were allotted a two hour slot for the visit but it was more than enough time to explore all the spaces. They take you into the different sections of the ark where you can play with the animals, climb ladders and even traverse across bridges! What’s amazing is that all of the installations are very interactive and the kids are able to control the movements of objects and it can really bring out the creativity in them. We were also led out to the outdoor amphitheater where we joined in on making music, but most importantly, talk about Noah's experience as he built the ark!
Emma was so in awe that she was able to experience the actual story that we’ve read in real life and to see it unfold in front of her eyes was the most fulfilling thing as a mama. It was such an amazing experience and this has to be one of the coolest, interactive exhibits I’ve ever been to and would recommend it to everyone! Trust me, you won’t regret it.
