Inside, Holy Land Experience has a Scriptorium filled with thousands of manuscripts as well as other religious exhibits. The attraction previously had stage productions but in January 2020 parent company Trinity Broadcasting Network announced the shows would be ending as it shifted its focus from entertainment to education.
The company also laid off 118 employees at the attraction. Many of the cut positions including actors and musicians.
Holy Land Experience holds free days in order to remain exempt from paying property taxes.
So far, there has been no announcement about whether the attraction will be open beyond the two free days.
