Wow! I found this little gem tucked away in a travel book, The Unofficial Guide: Beyond Disney. I mentioned it to our friends we were traveling with and she was excited to visit the park too. We took the drive over just this afternoon with our teenage daughters. Arriving later in the day, around 2:00, was not ideal because it was extremely hot and we missed a bunch of the shows we would’ve liked to have seen, but what we did see was AWESOME.The landscaping and gardens are beautiful! The place is very well maintained. Everywhere we went within the park felt reverent and period appropriate. It truly is a gem!My suggestion to future patrons would be to plan your visit around the shows. Don’t just show up in the middle of the afternoon. We walked in blindly and missed a huge number of shows and (trust me!) you want to see the shows! Both my friend and I would go back again, but earlier in the day to take everything in.Bonus: parking is FREE!Bonus, Bonus: they have a fantastic military discount for adults!

I am truly hoping that the rumors of The Holy Land Experience closing are NOT true! Some of my greatest memories were visiting this place with my church and my family and I always said I would bring my children here! Please I pray this is not the case we NEED places like this, may the Lord bless this organization and keep the Holy Land Experience OPEN!

If you are in Orlando for Disney and SeaWorld experiences, I would also pencil in this particular destination for a great Biblical and Holy Land (Israel) experience. If you are unlikely to ever make a trip to the Middle East or Israel then this is really a good experience especially as a family or with kids.Remember to park your vehicle such that you dont have to walk too much to the entrance.The reason for the four star rating is since quite a few of the areas were closed. We visited in the month of July 2019.Otherwise, it is a an excellent opportunity for the kids and even adults to enjoy and familiarise themselves with the Bible times.The musicals here are really wonderful. It is a brilliant cast and the entire team is just great.It is a good stop for church groups or families.

Im so sad this place is closed! People consider Disney world as the happiest place in the world but it was truly HOLY LAND Experience. I can not wait till they open back up according to JESUS will!!! May God bless the CEO and workers may God face in presence be amongst his Christian believers!

The name says it all! This was a theatrical experience unlike any other. As if the real life replicas which takes you back in time to the place where it all happened, making you feel like you were there with a front row seat to it all wasnt enough. The actors and actresses were nothing less than phenomenal! Their vocal abilities and harmonizing will blow you away! Beautifully done. Very well put together. Very detailed and informative. The staff also did a great job on informing/ directing a large crowd of guests so you dont miss the next episode in the story at the next location. Great food and snacks!

The Holy Land experience is a christian based theme park located in Orlando, Florida. The Holy land experience is owned by Trinity Broadcasting Network. The Holy Land experience features a wide range of live stage productions, bible story experiences, and lots more.Tickets are quite affordable say about $50 or less considering all the wonderful things you will see. There different sections in the park like : Bethany, Theater of life, smile of a child adventure land, Lazarus house, church of all nations to mention a few. Its no doubt a lovely tourist destination to visit anytime you are in Florida.

This is a great theme park style attraction. We had a wonderful day. The staff and characters playing the parts were were all perfect. The show was great and the we felt strongly about the recreation of Jesus on the cross.The grounds were super clean and getting around was easy with surprised art everywhere. If you are a Cristian, you must go. Highly recommend.

Loved the amazing Jerusalem setting, complete with beautiful plants and flowers! They really have their history details on the Bible translation! We enjoyed seeing the mini Jerusalem replica. The guy who talked about it really knew his stuff. The theater is great if you love emotional drama and very loud music!

This place is AMAZING.When I took my family to The Holy Land Experience I thought we were going to be there for just two hours, tops. Much to my surprise, we were there all day. Theres just so much to see and do. So much to learn, so much to experience from kids to adults.As a thespian myself, I absolutely loved their theatrical performances; the productions were on point. The model of the city of Jerusalem was very impressive, as was the Bible museum.And heres a tip... If youve found that you didnt have enough time in one day, you can go back again the next day with the same tickets (for half price).For example:Day 1 - $50 per adultDay 1 - $35 per child (5 and older)Day 2 - $25 per adultDay 2 - $17.50 per child (5 and older)NB: You must still have the same tickets from the previous day, in order to receive the discount.I would recommend for everyone to experience The Holy Land Experience at least once.

Talk about educational, fun, exciting, entertaining, wholesome and budget friendly - then here is the place! Initially, I thought that it would take just 1-2 hours to roam but when you reach, there is an entire schedule to fill your whole day, from 9-6. There are live performances of Bible stories, kid activities, demonstrations and my favorite, the Bible museum/scriptorium. Can I say, yes again! I would recommend reaching early as some performances get filled quickly. Also, there is no fine dining or dining options available, just small cafes throughout. Hopefully they would offer dining packages in the future. Remember too though, the experience is what you make it. If youre open to learning more about the Bible in a safe, honest and creative environment, then this is the spot! I dont know if they change shows ever so often, but I would quite enjoy seeing the ones I saw again, when I return.

The Bible comes alive!!! Absolutely beautiful grounds and performances!!! Thank you!!! Many years ago I experienced a much smaller Bible Park in the Netherlands.and questioned why we had nothing in the US! We DO!!! Don’t miss it!!!

I loved everything about it. Its a 5 star in my book. Ive been trying to get here for over 5 years. Came down from South Carolina.

Enjoyed a whole day here back in March. The Empire and the Kingdom show was fantastic in the large theatre. The smaller shows were also good. All of the singing was beautiful. The food could have been better. We didn’t have enough time to do the scriptorium. I wish they weren’t closing because I would go back to see the other seasonal shows. Grounds were pretty. Cool items in the gift shop. Please don’t close!

The few stories we were able to visit were incredible. My heart was touched beyond words. Definitely a great experience! I would love to come back and get the entire experience.

It’s a FULL day of liveperformances.There’s snacks, sandwiches, beverages, gift shops.Ticket prices- adult $50Children prices availableParking freeEasy access right off Interstate 4.Food - $15 =sandwich, 2 sides, drinkPerformances were of high quality. Staff dressed in costumes were available throughout the park for assistance and they were friendly.Live camels at manger scene.Comfortable seats in the auditorium.At the end of the day during the Meet the Cast - we had so much fun - they interacted with the crowd dancing, singing, and playing music.GREAT DAY!Yes we enjoyed it.Yes, we were blessed by the Christian atmosphere. Positive experience for this group.****Plan a full day if you want to see all of the performances****

Very beautiful theme park. Modeled after the biblical times and events. Plenty to do and low cost... worth every penny. The have an Amazing show about King David that was very entertaining and educational. Putt-putt, museums, a scriptorium and beautiful photo ops! We will be going back! You should definitely go!

If you love performance this place was amazing! They had a LOT of performances. My wife and I were there open to close and we saw almost every show. They have a really cool museum that talks about the history of the bible. That was a must for me and gives a little break from all the shows. The food was good and reasonably priced. If I had anything negative to say it there isnt much to much do do if you are not interested in seeing the shows.

Was really nice to go with Family, learned a couple things and took some beautiful pictures !!

Must visit for Christians to be encouraged and a place that brings the Bible and the teachings of Jesus to real life through drama and film. child friendly activities including crazy putting and climbing wall. Beautiful gardens around small lake to find a quiet place to reflect. Great place to bring those seeking answers to the big why questions of life. Reintroducing annual passes if you are local or frequent visitor to Florida area.

The shows are AMAZING!!! It’s a very peaceful place. You feel you’re among family. The staff was absolutely incredible, super nice and courteous! You can buy some souvenirs brought directly from Jerusalem.

My family and I took my grandmother for her birthday. This place was truly amazing. The theatrical production and singers were outstanding. I suggest to arrive when they open to make sure you can see all the shows! We had a young man named Taylor that was extremely helpful, pushed my grandmothers wheel chair to the show, showed us were to purchase a blanket when she was cold and even saw us later on in the park and checked in with us again. I would recommend this place!!

Great place to visit its beautiful, good food, great staff and really good theater. 50$ per adult is a good deal I definitely recommend it!

I have a hard time with The Holy Land Experience. Is it a church or a theme park? It takes the tax exemption of a church (making it legal by offering 1 or more days per year with no entry fee). They seem to assume everyone who goes here is already a Christian. You may see the person playing Jesus (and others) walking around praying with visitors. It seems expected that you will spend a largest part of your day here watching a movie/production in the largest building. Im sorry...I slept though most of it.I am a Christian and I enjoyed most of the vignettes where players performed biblical stories. But Im just left with this strange feeling that this place is a weird mix of the secular and the religious. Then I start questioning myself (like, why do I think this way?).Free parking. Clean. Nowhere near as busy as any other theme park. Large model of the Jerusalem area with a person who explains it very well.

This was one of the most incredible experiences for myself and my family. We heard it was excellent but we had no idea what to expect. This is a must see. I was brought to tears more than once. Just beautiful

The best experience but closed. Today in sept, 2020 thumbs down, 1 star less, there is no reason to stay closed if it is for the most famous plandemic, most places everywhere are open, just follow the rules, come on guys I came by Orlando and wanted to go there with whole family but sadly sadly sadly is closed, is what the website says and by the phone there is message that it is closed, so Ill go back home with out the experience of Holy Land.

This place is worth visiting and will transport you back to the way things should be right now. Learn so much about respecting the faith and how to line up your faith in a more deeper and spiritual way. The big show is like Broadway type of show; well designed story, very talented people and theater is beautiful. We all Christians should be investing to save this gem instead of making other parks richer and richer.

Great idea. Great staff. Thought it would be a nice learning experience from other reviews. I didn’t expect Disney but this is a high school musical at best for $50 plus $10 parking. Our highlight was watching an older gal try to eat the turkey drumstick she bought during the show.

Lovely experience of bringing the Bible to life. Very affordable. $50 - $40 military discount. Delicious giant turkey leg for $7. Parking is FREE. Souvenirs at a bargain price. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A MUST experience for all.

Minute for minute, dollar for dollar, more fun than Disney. The heart of the park is a theatre that seats two thousand and stages a professional three act musical play six days a week. The grounds are beautiful, lively but uncrowded.Everyone is nice. The other guests are nice. The ushers are nice. The ticket clerk was nice. Even the guard who checked my purse was nice.The show was good. The old Bible story of David was brought to life in a way that was sincere and moving.

The musical drama is award winning for a clear reason! This is where the money is spent and it cannot be missed! The land is sort of running down in places, but still clean and pretty, nothing that children would notice.The show is worth the cost of admission. Very well done beautiful costumes and singing! The man who plays Jesus is wonderful!Also the extra money for a special tour of the ark and Temple in the desert was worth it the priest was knowledgeable and kind.Overall great experience! Kids loved it may go back for Christmas show

Good reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ. Nice gift shop, great theater show/musical with great actors and beautiful voices. Area for kids enjoyment. Great detail of the citys, pictures just cant do it justice must go see for your self.

They use the word experience for a reason. If you get to Orlando, do yourself a favor and make a day for the Holy Land. You will be amazed. The productions are so well done, they bring you right back to biblical times. We go whenever were in town because they change stories every time. And a day to God is always a good day.

The Holy Land Experience in Orlando. I will have to admit to being disappointed. Most of the live shows were in the morning or piled on all at the same time at 4:30 or 5 p.m. The only thingS on offer during the time we were there were a movie (revised: apparently it was a live-action play , but no one told us that) about David in three 55-minute minute parts, and a 55 minute stroll through the scriptorium and a tour of a model of Jerusalem. I hate to say it, but in a world where everything is done in 30 second sound bites and a 20-minute presentation seems to last forever, 55 minutes is interminable. Who is going to sit through that when they can go to Disney? The scriptorium was very interesting, but we had to rush through so that we could make it to the tour of the Jerusalem model. However if you want to buy stuff or eat, this is the place for you. They have gift shops and cafes every time you turn around. Oh and theyre going to start charging for parking on Monday. At least we were each able to get a $10 discount for my being a veteran :-)

Although the shows were great, it was close to impossible to get see shows with limited seats. People who visited werent very refined and sometimes rude to each other. Very ironic!

We loved, you feel like you’re in Jerusalem! Lots of sitting, handicapped areas, lots of plays. You’ll love it, worth every cent

JUST LOVED IT! The man who portrays Jesus is very convincing. Couldnt of picked a better person for the part. They all did a great job. Its a must see!!

We pass by the place all the time, and one day there was a free entry promotion and we went to see how it looks like.The place is beautiful from the outside and the inside, Free parking and there is not much to see inside beside the show which was nice and the actors were good.But to be honest it is over priced, I am glad that we figured that with the free entry

Amazing place to visit.

So moving and a great place to bring my grandkids when they’re in town!

70x7 WOWs at this compact Christian theme park. Performances (acting and music) were great. However, some artistic license. Filled the full day. Get there as soon as the park opens.

Traveled to Orlando just to see the Holy Land and what a wonderful experience it was! A must see for sure for everyone! 2 days needed to be able to see all events.

I was hesitant to go because of photos I’d seen online but i am very glad we went. Wonderful attraction. Clear bible centered message. Attentive staff. Busy enough but not uncomfortably crowded. We spent about 5 hours and did not see every show.

Wonderful experience at the Holy Land; great place for learning, fellowship, family adventures, and to reflect on Biblical history. It was really Hot outside when traveling from one location to another; and also during the waiting period for the next show to start, so recommend taking a small umbrella to shield the sun.

The MOST awesome experience of my life. CANT wait to go back. Changed my life

Loved it awesome actors love how they tell the story but add some humor when its appropriate... Thinking of planning a trip for my youth to come and learn ... If you really want to get the full experience come for 2 days there is a lot to do and learn here!!!

Great for the entire family. The plays are amazing and well performed.

The shows are great but I wish there was a little more to the park. Things to do that are a little more fun and entertaining. Maybe some games they might have played back then. Nothing much for the little kids and big kids.

Beautiful park. Very interesting. I visited this place 1 years ago and was amazing for me.

Awesome place. My daughter got to speak to Jesus and he did a literal scene from the Bible where he taught her the prayer of repentance. Powerful experience when be called all the children to say the prayer of repentance.

I was able to visit with a group of ladies on a trip to Florida.That is such a beautiful place loved it. I will bring my family back. The plays are anointed and really touch my the heart. My favorite one was The Empire and the kingdom.

This was amazing and I cant wait to visit again.

Broadway caliber play about The Apostle Paul and elements of The Saviors life. Highly recommended!

What an amazing thing to do in Orlando area! My family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our day here!! The Tabernacle was informational and help enlarge my knowledge of the reasons and why of it! Loved the biblical love story of Boaz and Ruth! How nice in a wicked world of lust and divorce, to have a biblical love story for your young children to pattern after!!

Visiting Orlando for a few weeks and had The Holy Land Experience on my list of things to do. So glad we did!! It was one the most wonderful times we’ve had visiting the Orlando area! The shows are BEAUTIFUL and the cast is exceptionally talented. A don’t miss Experience...looking forward to coming back next year ️️️

My husband, a devout atheist, wanted to go. We both had a surprisingly great time. The music and productions were outstanding. There was nothing but gracious employees that cared about your enjoyment. We highly recommend

I wish there had been more information on what to do and expect when i purchased tickets online. We had no idea what to expect nor were we given a good guide. Anyone going to the Holyland experience needs to know that you should get there at 10 am if you can so you can catch the beginning shows. The main stage show builds upon itself with 3 shows throughout the day. If you miss one you dont get a second chance. We got there around noon (so we missed the 1st of 3 main stage shows) not knowing what to expect and we were only able to cover about 40 - 50% of the park shows before they closed at @5:45pm. At @$50 per ticket we probably didnt get our moneys worth. That being said the shows that we saw were very good with good stage performers. Overall we were glad that we went.

The plays/acting are as good as any Broadway theater.It’s fun getting to know the Bible through live theater. You learn and are entertained.The crowds are very manageable & not overwhelming.The little lunch place is affordable/modest but delicious.I will be back.

We came to celebrate my moms 70 Birthday. The place was beautiful and the food was good. The musical plays could have been a whole lot better. The songs were very dry and we started to fall asleep.

We came here during the low season where the crowd is manageable. The staff here is completely friendly and helpful to ensure that our time here is both enriching and enjoyable.The programme was well organised with the time spaced out, we spent the whole day going from one musical to the next enjoying the whole theme park. The singers sang with passion and conviction. We saw one of the singers shed tears when he sang! Everything was done professionally and yet there is a family atmosphere. Some of the staff have been working here for many years.My wife was prayed for by the “Jesus” that walks around the theme park. There was another older lady that I call “Mama Jewell” who was totally blind and woke up healed by God. She gives hope for people who are expecting a miracle.One couple said this is much better than going to Disney! This place is a hidden treasure that people need to seek out and make sure that they come.#HolyLandExp

Great experience. No rides, only shows and displays; plenty of souvenirs to purchase. Opened office hours (1000-1800). Staff is friendly. Plenty of security and parking.

If youre Christian and youre in Florida or visiting folks here or vacationing, this is one place you have to visit. I love the fact that everything is within comfortable walking distance. Spiritually awesome and the characters are so wonderful. My parents and in laws loved it.

I only saw a little but I loved how they brought the bible stories to life

Could have stayed several more hours. Cast and Productions are First Class. Many people to assist you in whatever you need. Cant wait to go back.......

I was completely disappointed with the experience. Thankfully I didnt have to pay for our tickets (a gift). But, I still think the 10 dollars for parking was to much to pay. I hope my car had a better time. To much disappointment to list. The bible collection was cool. But, not worth 50 dollars a person. Would have at least expected to see some people dressed in character around the park interacting with guest or maybe the gift shop or food vendors set up in a marketplace theme. I give it 1 star only because the only three employees that seen inside the park where very nice

This place is so amazing. Its like going into the Bible. Its beautiful. I fo wish they had a few choices of places to eat however the shows were show good.

This theme park is completely dedicated to the bible its a all nations church. They have plays as well as lots of teaching scenes of the bible from the biging to end words cant explain when u going ur heart is wowed by all the great scenarios noahs ark jesus tumb replica and lots of foods of how they ate and live in tho see time. This is truly to me the best theme park for learning and time well spent the entry fee its not bad at all to me its all worth it.when u go in you will love it they even got from meTears of joy .as u. Walk around it feels so good to learn.and look at how they lived. So go see its a great place.

Wonderful placeReally made me anointed. Will go back with my sister for sure. She has to visit this place. It is a most recommended place and experience for either kids and adults.

Wouldve given 5 stars, BUT the Jesus didnt seem authentic because he a pale skinned white dude with blue eyes. Pf. The audacity -.-

So much fun! Family fun, and lots of shows to watch! Weekdays are way less packed!

Great Shows. Staff Very Hospitable. Food Prices Great & Tastey. Beautiful Scenery .

I hadnt been there in years, and its greater than ever before!

Best experience of my life. It might of well had been the real thing as far as Im concerned. The time and effort in creating such a closely modeled rendition of what really happened over 2000 years ago was outstanding! The exhibits are beautiful, all the actors, singers, and every staff member is extremely talented and gracious! I feel blessed to have been able to visit the Holy Land Experience. It really does bring the Bible to life.

Fabulous. Well worth it. Extremely well done. Get the backstage Tabernacle tour. Stay till close. Thanks for staying true to Scripture. GREAT acting and singing in the plays.

The staff was immensely helpful navigating guests to important events. Their appreciation to participate in the work presented here was apparent in every aspect.

You will be blessed! Absolutely loved this place and you will too. The Holy Land Experience have excellent actors and shows. You may find yourself shedding a tear and will cause you to think seriously. Some of the shows (crucifixtion scene) may be a bit loud and graphic for small children. However, their is a playground/activity area for children.

My husband and I took our 8 yr old Granddaughter and my bestfriend to the Holy land. It was a blessing and great experience for is all. We were there for 8 hours. Saw all the shows. Cannot wait to go back again. Very talented blessed people. Our granddaughter wants to go again. God bless you all. It was just awesome!

Wonderful live shows will give you the chills! Amazing replica of Jerusalem!

Great place to relax in the Lord!

Love this place alot looking forward to going back aha in with family and friends to share the wonderful experience

This place is unique. Is sad to see its doors close. I feel blesses I get to see its lasts shows. And I am obsessed with Daniel Lazarus Judas...you are great, be bless!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! The Scriptorium was truly in depth and the Lazarus Experience had great actors/actresses.

It was an unforgettable experience! I will definitely visit again.

Amazing place to visit if you are in orlando

Completely exceeded expectations. The architecture and theming are amazing. Its pretty heavily based on shows, but they were very well detailed and informative. I found myself liking the Temple and model Jerusalem city presentations just as much as the main attraction. Speaking of which, the Church of All Nations theater is breathtaking--inside and out! Again, the shows, effects, and quality of presentation were very impressive. The sale areas have a lot of things of interest for sale--not really any gimmicky items. The food places were priced really well--and the offerings were tasty! Above all, the staff are some if the most genuinely kind people we have ever met. My family and I almost felt bad for how well we were treated. Everyone pitches in, especially the performers, to create a great experience. We have not seen everything and plan to go back later this year. The shows also change every few months, giving you something new to see!

Love it love it love it!!!! I cant believe I didnt come sooner!!!The place is beautiful, the actors are very talented!!! Im so happy for experience this amazing place!Thanks Holy Land !!!

Love love this place. Its like walking inini Jerusalem. The show is very good. Would definitely come back again.

Holy Land Experience is the best Theme Park ever. They always have new dramas every year. Every time I go there I take our church families there to see and experience the Bible became alive and real. I encourage anyone and everyone to come visit Holy Land Experience. God bless Dr. Paul Crouch and Lady Jan Crouch for being a great visionary and builders of Holy Land Experience and God bless those who carried on this vision and mission until Christ Jesus returns. I LOVE Holy Land Experience. Praise Abba Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit for Holy Land Experience. Glory to God!!!

Its amazing we are really bleased..its my second time i have visted this place.

I had a wonderful time plan to come back again

I went on a pilgrimage to the holy lands and when I showed up it was closed. They need to update their website.

This place is priceless!! The singers and actors were so amazing!! Very Special needs friendly!! #holylandexp

This place is great! We enjoyed everything. Staff is friendly. Will visit again!

Awesome place to take family and friends. The live shows are awesome to watch. It’s very relaxing to walk around the lake and flower garden. They have an area for kids to play at certain times. Great place!

My young children 3, 5 and 8 were bored after a few hours. This is an awesome experience, but for the more mature. My husband and I enjoyed it.

I am giving this place 4 stars because I felt like it was more of a museum that had a some shows than a experience. I would of liked to feel like I was in the Jerusalem. I am thankful that someone has this type of park in Orlando were everyone in the world will see it. First I feel like they took allot away from previous years so if you have been before the place has changed allot. Second I took 4 small energy filled kids I don’t recommend it. They do have an area for kids but you don’t want to spend all day there like my kids wanted to. I would love to come back and see all the shows and take it all in.

You guys have to visit! It truly is a place to bring family and friends closer! You will find rest and healing of the hearts! This was so magical it really does transform lives for the better! Dont miss this King David event! GOD is here!

What a tremendous experience. Educational and spiritual. So blessed to have been able to experience. People so welcoming. It was better than a Broadway show. Fantastic singin . Sets beautiful and stories of the bible and Jesus life amazing. Price for an all day experience well worth it. Thank you Holy Land for an amazing experience. Please continue your Mision

I like this place. I will definitely come again.

Shows are with good quality. Exceeded expectations!

Interesting, inspiring and educational. Good for the family. Best to plan your schedule before you get there, otherwise you may not make it to all the shows.
