Begin your Christmas season with an unforgettable new family tradition. Come and see what thousands are talking about. Travel back in time to 1st-century Israel to experience the original Christmas story, the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Make plans now for your family to attend this year's annual production of ‘Journey to Bethlehem’ - a live production featuring a live indoor stage show and a walk-through, outdoor theatre experience set in turn-of-the-millennium Judea.

Join us in celebrating our 17th year; don't miss your chance to take part in this inspiring Journey. In recent years, the 'Journey' trail was expanded to include alternate paths and new interactive scenes, helping to ensure that your 'Journey' experience will be unique, no matter how often you visit. Featuring a cast of over 200 in period costume, hundreds of volunteers, scores of live animals, authentic sets, and a breathtaking living nativity, 'Journey to Bethlehem' welcomes thousands of guests annually - nearly 8,000 in 2017.

This year's ‘Journey to Bethlehem’ takes place Thursday, Friday, & Saturday, November 29 & 30, and December 1. Doors are open to the public from 5:30pm to 9:00pm, with guests seated on a first-come, first-served basis. 'Journey' trail tours begin at 6:00pm, departing every few minutes throughout the evening and continuing until the last guest is served.
