Like going back in time to be present at the time of Jesus’ birth. You feel like you were present at our Lord and Saviors birth. Very professional.

Special place. I keep explaining it as basically a Nativity-themed renaissance fair. It is a small village on a few acres, with every volunteer staying in character at all times as they live their lives while dropping contextual comments about their role in the nativity. I drove 2 hours from Tyler (3 hours with kids!) and it was certainly worth it.

Such an amazing night of remembrance. We got to experience firsthand what Mary and Joseph had to go through as they were trying to find a place for Mary to give birth. You get to see the manger, feed farm animals, talk with Bethlehem merchants, see Roman soldiers, and best of all is feel as if you are a part of the Story of Jesus. The event is located next to a Presbyterian Church who were the most warm and welcoming people who really embraced us. They held a Ugandan children’s choir who sung and danced a couple of Christmas songs. It is a night not just for families but also for couples and for friends who want to experience the nativity story in a first hand experience theme. A night to remember! Will probably go next year with a larger group of people. The event is free and donations are welcome if you feel led to give to this event.

Great place for family, go back in time take a journey to see Birth of Jesus

We try to attend every year. They have done a great job of telling the birth story of Christ. The kids love the activities throughout the village. They especially love the animals. We try to take people each year who havent gone.

It was a Great experience! The kids were happy looking All the things set up... we walked around for a bout 40 -50 minutes. We LOVE it... thank you for all the deatils and hard work.

This is our second year to go. Its a very nice way to spend an evening. The town goes all out on this event in an effort to recreate the sights, sounds and events of that time. They have live animals including sheep the kids can pet, a donkey that Mary arriveds on, and 3 camels. There are many small shops where the shop keepers are demonstrating how they make their goods and little campfires around the make it all feel real. They also have the tax collectors tent, the inn and the manger. Its free to enter but a donation is really appreciated.

So fun, one of my favorite Christmas activities!

Wonderful recreation of the town of Bethlehem and the experience of the Christ child coming into the world. The townspeople and traders bring the ancient culture to life and pass on the Shalom of God. This is an annual family Christmas tradition for us!

Great place to take the kids and enjoy the old world feel. Mostly authentic, but very educational and entertaining

As in the past, the volunteers and church did a fantastic job focusing on the meaning of the season.

Its been a long time since I last visited. Super crowded. Some things were hard to hear because of faulty speakers or actors too quiet, and then there were other visitors whp talked a lot, too loud, almost to rudeness. Camels showed up before wisemen. They start the narrative every half hour and you can follow the story through the village, but I never really knew where it started. It has become a bit more commercialized with lighted halos, etc which also take from the ambience. So, kinda mixed emotions on this one.

Always AMAZING! Definitely a Christmas Season must!

Incredible setup and play of the birth of Jesus Christ. Best hot chocolate Ive had too! They have several tours so if you get there in the middle of the play, you can either look around or wait for the next round :)

We came today all the way from Dallas and there was nothing. No warning online that it was closed or not operating today, nothing at all going on on site, very disappointing!

Great family outting tinshsre the story of Jesus

Good representation, lots of people working hard.

It was a realistic scenery of bethlaham and was so fun

Great place to visit. Very friendly town.

Oh this place is such a great kept secret and will forever be an annual family tradition. Precious People Sweetly Serving the Lord here during the wonderful celebration of HIS birth. So thankful we know of this place.

Whats a wonderful production. A must see for all Christians or anyone interested in observing one of the greatest moments in all history. Gives you a nice perspective of the times when our Lord was born.

Best, most authentic Christmas event

Really brought the birth of Jesus to life, worth so much going!!

What an amazing thing for a wholesome activity to really contemplate the settings around the Nativity. I love that I got to share this with my children and so wish I had something like this when I was growing up!

I enjoyed my visit to Bethlehem Revisited. I would have liked to have gotten some good pictures but the lighting was not set up for that unless you got really close to the structures. The Baby Jesus with moving arms and legs was a smart idea instead of using a real baby on a cold night.

We love going here every year with our kids. Its an amazing experience to teach your children and bring the nativity story to life in a way that few other things can. Id highly recommend and look forward to going again!

Very welcoming atmosphere. We drove from out of town to visit and it was well worth the 40 minute drive. Will recommend and return!!

Live birth of Jesus retelling by local church. They have a permanent walled Bethlehem village(kinda neat) on about a two block area. Live music(church choir- ok),church members acting the story characters (bout as good as it sounds) and live animals playing themselves...camels, goats sheep donkey the works ( real animal smells and landmines but the ones they get seem truly invested in their parts). Think of it as a bible story petting zoo. Good luck getting the little ones to pay attention to the story no cover but ask for donations. Cool for kids. Watch your step . Yes camels are mean and they do spit and bite just like in the movies

Amazing experience. My kids loved it!!! (10 months to 9 years old) we will be back soon

JESUS CHRIST IS OUR LORD and SAVIOR!PEACE y GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Awesome event!

A unique experience traveling in time! Every year on the first two weekends of December, the community od Waxahachie goes back 2000 years in time and recreates Bethlehem. You can walk among the actors dressed in period clothes and interact with them. You can go to the different houses of a Bethlehem street and see the blacksmith, the baker, the weavers and many more patiently explaining about they jobs. You can see the Roman soldiers and be a witness to all the Chistmas events. The kids have fun looking at the live camels and sheep, and is hilarious how actors react to 21st century technology, if they see someone with a cell phone or smart watch (sorcery!) . You will not regret visiting this place.

Today was my first time visiting and I must say my girls and I really enjoyed ourselves. Great job

Amazingly detailed life-size live reenactment of birth of Christ.

Awesome experience. You havent lived until youve been to Bethlehem Revisited.
