TBN's Holy Land Experience Voted One of America's Best Theme Parks

ORLANDO, FLA. (April 2, 2013) — About.com has published its prestigious Readers' Choice Awards for America's most popular theme parks, and Holy Land Experience, TBN's Orlando, Florida family vacation and worship destination, has won the distinction of having the nation's Best Theme Park Holidays Event for its spectacular month-long Christmas program. Holy Land Experience beat out a number of noted Christmas programs at other parks — including Busch Gardens, Dollywood, and even Disneyland — to win the distinction.

“We're thrilled to be chosen by popular vote to receive this awesome honor,” said said Mike Everett, General Manager of Holy Land Experience. “Christmas has always been a very special holiday season for us, and every year we go all out with millions of festive lights, music, dramatic productions, and dynamic worship services at our 2,000-seat Church of All Nations — all to make the celebration of Christ's birth an unforgettable experience for our friends and guests.”

Designed to escort visitors back in time to experience the sights, sounds, and themes of First-Century Jerusalem — along with the impacting truths of Scripture — Holy Land Experience takes on a unique atmosphere during holiday seasons like Christmas and Easter. In addition to the thrill of walking the streets of a re-created ancient City of David, guests are treated to a variety of dramas, musicals, and programs that make for a faith-filled vacation and worship experience unequaled anywhere.

Mr. Everett noted that whether during a spectacular holiday season or on one of the park's regularly scheduled days, the Holy Land Experience is a one-of-a-kind vacation and worship destination for guests of all ages. “Every part of what we've created here at the Holy Land Experience — the sights, the sounds, and the entire atmosphere — is designed to impact the entire family,” he said. “It’s inspirational, educational, challenging — and unforgettable!”
