Your adventure begins as soon as you step aboard the Queen of the Ozarks-Showboat Branson Belle! Be whisked away on the authentic 1880s-style paddle-wheeler to the days when showboats reigned over the water with style and grace. Explore all 3 decks of this remarkable vessel and capture glimpses of wildlife along the pristine shoreline. Wrap yourself in the beauty of brilliant orange sunsets as light dances on the crystal clear waters of Table Rock Lake.

After God reveals to the righteous Noah that a flood will extinguish all life on earth, he charges the man to construct an ark massive enough to shelter his family, any other true believers, and pairs of every species of living creature. Lacking materials, Noah takes his three sons to Nod, a city in decline. The family tries, in vain, to convince their friends & neighbors to join them, and is ridiculed and attacked throughout the decades it takes them to fulfill God's command. Watch Noah & his family try to care not only for themselves while at sea, but for their vast menagerie as well. Experience their stress at being cooped up together for more than a year. When their trying journey is finally complete, marvel at the wonder of God's reward for Noah's unquestioning obedience and devotion to Him.
