Such a fun little store! I love all the stuffed animals and other items. The building as a whole being an ark is just too fun.

Cool store. The top had a bunch of stuffed animals. The bottom had antiques. They advertised sluese mining but the machine was broken.

My family and I entered the ark today and were simply amazed. Wow! What an improvement from an already fun place. My wife loved all the antiques and came home with a few treasures. My kids had a blast finding their new favorite stuffed animals... until our next visit. The new owner, Kim, was amazing. She was so funny and so sweet to our daughters and to us. She made everyone feel welcome. We are excited to see the miniature museum on our next visit. The Ark has always been a stopping point for our family, but its a MUST every trip. Thank you Kim for making it such a special visit for our kids and us as parents. We highly recommend this amazing place to everyone who visits Estes Park. They have something for everyone from 1-100 years old. You can't leave Estes Park without seeing the Ark.

This store was amazing! My brother, who rarely enjoys most stores, was even captivated by the countless items and goods available. Out of every store I visited in Estes Park, this by far made me feel comfortable and okay to enjoy browsing without someone hanging over me as I previously experienced in a store in the same town further up the road. Definitely would love to return back here!!

The owner is so pleasant. I love bringing my grandkids here. We live in Ft Collins & this is my favorite place to visit In Estes Park. So much to see, & beautiful Noah Ark sets. I recommend this shop, especially if you have kids who love stuffed animals & books. What a great story to share as well, as you walk on the ark😊

Updating my 5 star review from the last year.... TL;DR: Family's should avoid this one iconic stop... The new owners sold off the amazing slot car track and most of the kid friendly things that made this place a must visit for any family visiting Estes Park. It's now full of random flee market knickknacks and no longer family friendly. They had some stuffed animals left, but it looks like they are just trying to get rid of it to make room for more thrift store filler.It's sad to update my rating since this place was an amazing place to visit for the last 15 years.

This place is amazing!! The new owners took over a month ago, and have added so many interesting things. They still have every stuffed animal u can think of, that’s what we’ve usually shopped here for. They now have antiques and vintage items. The owner gave us a quick tour of the miniature museum that is opening next week, it was unbelievable.

This store is great. Such a wide variety of merchandise for everyone. The Race Track is truly a one of a kind. My wife, 2 boys and I had a blast. The new owners are wonderful people. We wish them all the best in this new venture.

Great place! My kids have wanted to visit there for years. We finally stopped! The kids had a blast looking and trying to pick a stuffed animal amoung the hundreds to choose from. There are great antiques and fun farm house decor. A little something for everyone!

Drove out to see the shop around 2 pm on a Monday and this empty. No hours posted on site or online. Called and the phone answering machine message is over a year old with no hours or any clue when they will be open. Was really hoping to check it outEditing: wasn't aware they were closed for the season, will definitely have to come back by to check it out sometime when they're open. Outside is super cute and looks like a big ark easy to spot from the road. Owner replies to issues really quick as well!

The Arc is just beyond words of excitement fun for kids and adults and Antiquing.Nice antiques and beautiful pieces worth a look! I bought a vintage vanity set one of a kind and I've been looking for 15 years priced right absolutely beautiful and ornate.The Best part was the real Life Arc buliding!All the stuffed animals and the miniature Museum is a must see. The Owner taught my daughter how to make miniatures herself alot there are handmade.They have classes for this and we will be back to learn more!Kindness by the owner exceeded our expectations a must see in Estes Park for sure! Thank you so much.

This is an awesome toy store for both kids and adults! Adults get taken back into their past and kids have a heyday picking out the perfect toy to remind them of their Rocky Mountain Adventure! The Ark is right at the entry to Estes off of Highway 34 and it is hard to miss. It is literally a giant ark. There are a couple levels to the toy store and it is easy to navigate throughout the building. Happiness is felt by all as guests enter this magical land of childhood. Any type of stuffed animal can be found here all the way down to Ty Beanie Babies we all loved in the 90s.

Beautiful views in Estes Park! The woman in the Ark was amazing and so nice! Always a wonderful time in the mountains!

Amazing store. Sometimes I come in just to look around. It's become a tradition to visit here everytime I come to Estes. A recent visit worries me though. I was Christmas shopping and wanted to come here for a big snake as a gift but it was closed and not for the day. For the whole season! The sign said the "2019 season was over and that it would be open 2020". This made no sense to me. Christmas is a huge toy sales event, it would make them a lot of money. So why are they closed?

The Estes Ark is an incredible place! Kim has done an AMAZING job creating a shop that brings so much enjoyment to everyone. There are items and treasures for everyone - any age, gender, collector, and shopper. The Ark will not disappoint! Stop by - I highly recommend it.

What an awesome and unique store! There is so much to see in here, you could walk through several times and still find something new to see each time. Great selection of adorable stuffed animals, games, antiques, gifts, trinkets, and souvenirs and wonderful customer service too!

This is a true gem here in estes park. The women working there.. I'm assuming the owners.. were so warm and welcoming. I couldve spent hours looking at everything in this shop. Amazing concept and excellent execution! So glad we decided to stop by. We are from arizona and I cant wait to tell everyone about this place.

It's a unique experience, the place is filled with lots of stuff(and for my taste just junk), but still a cool place for kids to have a good time. Got a cute stuffy for my daughter.

I ordered two slot cars that were out of stock everywhere else. Estes Ark had them in stock. The price and shipping were a little higher than the competition, but after all, they did have the items. They arrived quickly and professionally packaged.
