The Holy
Land Experience
Are
you looking for a different kind of attraction
in the Orlando area? Do you seek something
educational? Are you of the Christian faith?
Then you should consider visiting the
Holy Land Experience
in Orlando, Florida!
The Holy Land Experience
is a "living, biblical history museum."
Not only is the Holy Land Experience historical,
but it is also inspirational, theatrical,
and educational. It is a truly unique themed
park among the many other attractions found
in the Orlando area.
Opened
on Feb. 5, 2001,
The Holy Land Experience is
a 15-acre, $16 million dollar, authentic
replica of Jerusalem as it was during the
time of Jesus and the Roman Empire. It is
called the The Holy Land Experience because
you are totally immersed in the sights,
sounds, and tastes of Jerusalem as it was
2 millennia ago. From the moment you enter
through the gates of the "walled city",
you are transported 2,000 years back in
time to a teeming with life and activity,
genuine, A.D. 66 Jerusalem street market.
All the architecture and exhibits inside
the Holy Land Experience,
from the Qumran Dead Sea Caves to the Plaza
of the Nations, are precisely-detailed so
as to provide a greater insight into their
biblical importance.
There
are also daily theatrical presentations
(performed by the "cast" of dramatists at
the park) that depict many of the events
that were documented during those times.
These performances are enhanced with special
music played by staffed musicians. You can
also enjoy, "The Seed Promise", a thought-provoking
and moving film actually shot on location
in Israel, which is shown in the Theatre
of Life located within the Temple. This
film illustrates God's plan for Redemption.
