The Holy Land Experience
The Holy Land Experience is a living museum that brings the Bible alive!
It combines the sights and sounds in a unique and interactive way unlike and with so much to see and do we advise you allow plenty of time to soak it all up.
The Scriptorium: Center for Biblical Antiquities
This museum is a non-sectarian library/research center that houses the priceless Van Kampen Collection consisting of several thousand manuscripts, scrolls, and other religious artifacts. The collection is augmented by secondary resources, including the personal library of Eberhard Nestle, leading 19th century biblical scholar and co-translator of the Greek Nestle/Aland New Testament text.
The walk-through experience of The Scriptorium transports visitors to historical and geographical areas of the world where displayed biblical documents originated and gives guests a dramatic understanding of the history of the Bible, how it parallels the history of civilization, and the impact it has had upon the world.
Additionally, items not featured on the regular tour are kept on display in the rotating exhibit space, which is located off The Scriptorium bookstore Ex Libris.
The Wilderness Tabernacle A recreation of the mobile temple that provided a place for God to dwell among the Israelites during their forty years of wandering in the desert. The presentation offers visitors an understanding about the importance of the rituals and sacrifices offered to God in this sacred place. Learn about the altar of sacrifice, the objects inside the Tabernacle, and the Ark of the Covenant.
 Jerusalem Model A.D. 66 The world's largest indoor model of its kind, this 45 by 25 foot-long structure gives a stunning overview of what Jerusalem looked like at the height of its size and growth. Daily presentations tell the history of the city, from it's beginnings as King David's capital city to its destruction by the Romans in A.D. 70. The Jerusalem Model A.D. 66 allows guests to see where Christ walked as He ministered inside the city, and where He traveled during His final hours leading up to His crucifixion on Calvary.
One Night With the King An epic motion picture set in an imaginative world of adventure, intrigue and romance, One Night With the King follows a young girl who rises from peasant to princess by going against the culture and seeking the King's heart rather than the riches of the kingdom.

"The most moving portion of the day was the Passion. I was brought to tears as this reminded me of all that Jesus endured on our behalf. And then more tears flowed at the realization of His victory over sin and death & of the anticipation of His return for us!! All the plays and musicals were well done and certainly bring glory and honor to our King!" - Wendi, Canton, OH
Moses The day begins with Moses the first deliverer of the children of Israel. Based on the early chapters of Exodus, Moses is a story of faith and hope in the darkest of times. You'll see how a mother's love and the hand of God preserved a tiny infant who would one day draw out his people from their bondage in Egypt. This moving, multi-media presentation combines music, drama and film and is followed by an inspiring time of teaching which we pray will give you a greater understanding of scripture.
