The Holy Land Experience resembles other Orlando area tourist traps - Disney World, Universal Studios, Busch Gardens - only in a few aspects: It costs and requires a ticket to enter, is a beautified replica of the real thing, has quality professional actors and musicians, and every concert or exhibit exits into a gift shop. Yes, they do want our... more

Holy Land Experience - February 2008. Entrance into the park was easy, as was parking the car. The experience inside, however, was very dissappointing and certainly not worth the admission price . The whole time, it felt more like a pathetic effort to convert everyone, who had the misfortune to purchase tickets, to Christian fundamentalism, instead of simply exploring the... more

We traveled to the Holy Land Experience in July 2008. They had live stage shows recreating Jesus life and times. The actor portraying Jesus was fabulous and did a wonderful job. He was also available to post for pictures and even sat with children and prayed with them. You could tell that he and the other cast members really enjoyed... more

As a newly saved Christian, I was eager to visit The Holy Land Experience especially since Jan and Paul Crouch purchased the theme park. It is a sincere effort to educate, inspire and illustrate Jesus's ministry and worth the two hour drive to see young children look at their Jesus...this for me was the highlight. The scriptorium was interesting, the... more

I visited the HLE on 5/21/08 and found it to be one of my favorite things in Orlando. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and the things I experienced were first rate. I liked it better than Disney World. If i am ever in Orlando again, I will return to the HLE. Linda Las Cruces, New Mexico more

I won't repeat all the things that have been said already except to affirm the positive comments: my wife and I had three fantastic visits to HLE during our stay in October 2006. Surrounded by the glitzy Disney stuff, it is tempting to think there is nothing in Orlando to take seriously but HLE is totally different. It is NOT... more

I've been to the HLE over 10 times since it first opened in 2001, due to work. I've also lived in Jerusalem and am a scholar of religion. This place is a joke. The shows are hokey, badly acted, most of the "singers" are lipsynching, the costumes and sets are cheap, and the storylines are outraegously stupid. The food in... more

What a treat! What an experience! Friendly people, nice weather and a family atmosphere. I was amazed at the architecture and took many pictures. The open-air plays brought the pages of the Bible to life with period costumes. The actors really love what they do and all can sing. There is a miniature of the city of Jerusalem that has... more

Date: September 18, 2007 WOW! This place is worth the time to visit. My husband and I were in Orlando last week for a business convention. However, we arrived early before the event to take in the Holy Land Experience. This is how we planned the day. First of all, the park is very easy to get to. We stayed... more

I have been to the Holy Land Experience several times. Frankly, it's a breath of fresh air from the usual focus of most Orlando theme parks. The HLE gives you something positive to take home with you--some knowledge of the origins of the Christian faith and its relation to Judaism. It's not dry, boring history; it is a realistic view... more
