Absolutely! Please invite friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, etc. to enjoy The Bethlehem Journey with you.

Should I bring the Kids?

The whole family from kids to grandparents is invited to explore the Journey. Please keep your children with you at all times because there are many people along the trail including Roman Soldiers on horses.

Do I need reservations?

No. If you have a group larger than 50 and are arriving on a bus, please contact us. This will allow us to have space available for the bus. Groups of 20-25 will take the Journey together. Thus be prepared to break you group up to experience the tour.

Is the The Bethlehem Journey handicap accessible?

The trail is covered with a layer of mulch. Thus it will be impossible for a wheelchair or walker to navigate the trail. However, we will have golf carts available to carry you along the trail with your group. When you reach the village of Bethlehem, the Inn, and the Manager, it is necessary to walk to these areas.

The best our church has to offer. Security is provided during all performances throughout the Journey. Guides and others along the trail can have immediate access to security personnel.

What is not allowed at The Bethlehem Journey?

Journey to Bethlehem is a family safe environment. There is no smoking, no weapons of any kind, no alcohol or drugs, no pets (except official seeing eye guide dogs) will be allowed due to the fact we have live animals throughout the Journey trail.
