Things to do at the Skirball Noah’s Ark
Inspired by the most famous flood story, Skirball Cultural Center’s Noah’s Ark exhibit is an immersive journey through a floor-to-ceiling wooden ark packed with handcrafted animals. Families can play, build, climb, explore, make music and even make a storm as you engage with elephants, zebras, exotic birds and hundreds more whimsical creatures — each made from recycled materials such as bottle caps, bicycle parts and baseball mitts. You’ll even help construct the boat itself and bask in the glow of a beautiful rainbow at this interactive experience.
