This is good news. Over the summer, Ken Ham has been bragging about record attendance at the Ark Encounter and how their 40 Days and 40 Nights series of Gospel Music shows were causing people to “pour” into the Ark. Today I received my monthly KORA information and it turns out attendance for August 2021 was 83,826. This was much higher than August 2020 when people were in more due to Covid, but MUCH lower than any previous August since attendance has been public record.
Ark attendance has never come close to the claims made when Grant County, Williamstown, and the State were suckered into giving the Ark every possible break.
As usual, it should be pointed out that Ham would claim attendance is actually vastly higher due to lifetime pass holders and children attending. Of course if Ham or his organization have any information on the numbers of pass holders and unpaid children visiting, they are welcome to present their numbers (they have turnstiles at the Ark).
