In concept, the Holy Land Experience is an idea
whose time has come. It has taken twelve years to move from concept to completion. With great care, each detail of the Holy
Land Experience has been made, to the best of our ability, to accurately conform to the Bible and biblical history.
In quality of construction and theming, the Holy Land Experience compares favorably with some of the finest museums found
anywhere in America. And in terms of Christ-honoring Christian venues, we believe it sets a new standard.
In purpose,
the Holy Land Experience is a world apart. While both fun and exciting for the whole family, its singular purpose is to provide
answers to life's most important questions: Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? What is life really all
about?
In fulfillment of purpose, the Holy Land experience has been totally dependent on God for his provision
and direction. We have been humbled to be a part of it. We would be truly honored to have you visit us at the Holy Land Experience
here in beautiful Orlando, Florida. Come join us for the journey of a lifetime!
Shows and Attractions
The Wilderness Tabernacle:
This 25-minute show takes
place indoors around a re-creation of the portable tabernacle carried by Moses and his people as they wandered in the wilderness
following their deliverance from Egypt, as described in the Old Testament. A live actor, accompanied by a few lighting, projection,
and sound effects, acts out a portion of the ceremony of animal sacrifice as a narrator describes the rites. Near the end
of the show a whirlpool of carbon dioxide and fog juice stands in for God making an appearance over the Ark of the Covenant.
As a finale a projected image of the nativity appears to tie the ancient Jewish rites to Jesus as their fulfillment as Messiah.
Orlando of Life:
The
25-minute film The Seed of Promise, accompanied by a few in Orlando lighting effects, carries on the theme of Christ as the
ultimate sacrifice. It opens with the priests continuing to sacrifice as the Romans invade the temple in A.D. 70, intercut
with a rather graphic depiction of Jesus being nailed to the cross. A flashback to the Garden of Eden is next, followed by
the story of Abraham and the near sacrifice of Isaac and then back to the crucifixion and resurrection, presented as the ultimate
sacrifice.
The Jerusalem Model:
Said to be the largest indoor model of Jerusalem in the world, this detailed scale display depicts the city
in A.D. 66. Half-hour lectures discuss the development of the city and use the model to trace the movements of Jesus in his
final days.
The Plaza of Nations:
Roman columns surround this plaza in front of the imposing Herodian Temple. A biblical musical drama, Today's
the Day is presented on the steps of the temple several times a day.
Calvary's Garden Tomb:
This display re-creates Jesus' open and empty tomb in a setting
that includes plants and trees indigenous to the Holy Land. A musical presentation about the resurrection is held here several
times a day.
