I went as a kid and have never forgotten coming here even if it was only once. I bought a little seal plush and was curious if they still sold them? It was a mom and child seal with the little baby seal and mom both white. I was very attached to it and lost it at a park a long time ago. Would be great if I could buy another one for memories.

What happened to Noah’s Ark Estes?? I visited Estes Park a few weeks ago, and it is closed. Very sad to see this. I’ve tried to ask the information center but no answers. 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😊

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.

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!!

Owner Response

You've made my day, Thank You!! I'm so happy that you could wander and enjoy your time aboard the Ark. 🦊🐺🦝

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.

Owner Response
