Last summer while in Florida, we decided to visit
the Holy Land Experience in Orlando. We were
very skeptical that it would be "worth it", but we
were very pleasantly surprised! It was beautifully done!
It was a gorgeous day and periodically through the day
there were live plays on the grounds. These were
done by some very talented people who were not only
good actors, but they all had fabulous singing voices.
We saw about four plays while we were there. Seeing
the whole place and eating lunch takes a whole day.
They close at five, so we actually did not quite see
everything. (Possibly because we spent a lot of time
in the wonderful book store that is on the grounds.)
The grounds were just beautifully landscaped,
and we ate our lunch outside. There are many
buildings on the grounds. There are several presentations
besides the plays. We saw an interesting presentation on
the tabernacle. (Very well done and informative!)
One of the most interesting buildings that we visited
housed a scale model of Jerusalem during the time of
Christ. It took up half of a large room. There was a
presentation by a man who told about some of the
buildings and some interesting facts about the city.
We had a great day there, everything there was very
God honoring and I highly recommend it as a good place
to visit. (The book store is to die for!) I thought this would
be a good day to write about this since it is about 20 degrees
in Michigan today and supposed to snow AGAIN! I miss
Florida!
Cost: $30. per person and $5. to park
