The Holy Land Experience - (407) 367-2065

Pretty neat and I got a coupon by going to http://www.orlandocouponbuddy.com for this orlando attraction. We had a blast and everyone was able to save. Cannot wait to go again.

I, of course, have reservations about panning a Christian themed experience but I just have to say this was horrible. At 35.00 it is way over priced - save your money: attend church, read the Bible, take a Religion class or study up on the internet - all of these would be more beneficial than wasting your time here.
