I was told about this place by my physical therapist since we were going to be in that area. We went on a Friday afternoon after picking up my mother in law. You enter through the gift shop in order to enter the prayer trail/walk. The gift shop has so many things to see and buy. From religious items, toys & crafts for the children, jewelry, fragrance, decorations, books and greeting cards. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for any religious gifts for a communion or just gifts in general for someone or yourself. The prayer path was a very nice walk and very respectfully done showcasing Jesus' path leading to his crucifixion. You were walking the path of Jesus. It's about a half mile for the walk. We were there on a Friday and walked almost to the end but had to walk back because it was going to be too much for my mother in law. My husband and I went back today again and finished the walk as well as seeing the Moses at Mt. Sinai display which took 3 years to create , and the Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine. We would definitely reccomend anyone looking to see something different and experience something extraordinary to take a visit. The walk itself is beautiful and eye opening.

This Place is amazing truly breathtaking! It was bigger than I expected so much to do and the store is also huge.

Es un lugar de reflection y reconsider lo que Dios hiso por amor a nosotros y recorder ese hermoso lugar te da mucha Paz y te unes a su pasion .🙏

It’s great place to visit with families and friends to see and reflect…

Un lugar con mucha paz y tranquilidad, escuchamos el canto de las aves y nos favoreció el clima

I love bringing friends and family to walk on what make you feel like you are holy ground. Its a reminder of our Lord and Saviour and his sacrifice for us. It's such a peaceful place, that anyone I bring leave differently.

It is so passionate to walk around the steps of the cross, the sculptures the meditation and the nature around!!! I love this place! 🙏🏼❤️

An absolutely beautiful display of the Gospel. It is worth your time!

We came for the stations of the cross on Good Friday and it was good. There's a lot of people but parking was organize for there are people directing where to park.

This is a beautiful and peaceful place to go for a walk also my son works here and he loves it

Wonderful religious experience! Highly recommend for all denominations. Any Christian will enjoy this.

Beautiful and blessed place 🙏❤️🙏

Loved visiting this location. There are a lot of scenes coming to life with very good narration. I can't wait to return.

The tour was awesome. Jesus died just to save a sinner like me

Beautiful and peaceful place!
Highly recommended!

Such a peaceful and beautiful place! It's the perfect setting for a prayerful experience! Highly recommend!

What an incredible experience 😥
It is a tremendous reminder of the
love Jesus has for us all.
so beautiful and touching. I have been wanting to see it ever since
I found a DVD about it.
Highly recommended, a must see♥️

Everything was amazing. I visited with my three children and they took pictures. I love the visual arts to help bring this story home my children aged 6,7, and 15 we all in awe as we followed the prayer trail. I will visit again by myself my children kept interrupting my prayers. Also it’s free they only ask for donations via a small box so please look for the donation box and donate before you leave. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Absolutely beautiful and highly recommend visiting.

Best experience of my life! I left with a renewed sense of spirit and compassion, I highly recommend this place!

Word's don't really do this magnificent place justice; it's all about what you experience while you're there. I fell in love with this place about 6 years ago, it's peaceful, beautiful, serene, magical, and the presence of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is alive and well there. I thank God for whomever came up with thr idea to create this marvelous place, I thank God for the staff as well. No matter what you're going through, how you're feeling, when you start to walk on the Prayer Path it will leave you before you enter back into the gift shop! Thank you all for the wonderful experiences and may God continue to richly bless you and continue to build and create more Biblical scenes and tell the stories.

Todo el lugar está muy bonito. Se siente una sensación de tranquilidad y una paz increíble. El personal es muy amable. La tienda muy bonita. El recorrido de la pasión de cristo fascinante su relato. Todo todo me encantó. Muchas gracias.

I work for Wintrust’s travel group Platinum Adventures & we brought a group of 26 people to the Shrine. To say it was a moving experience would be an understatement! The staff is amazing & so knowledgeable making the experience that more meaningful! The gift shop is second to none with such a large variety of items. I go on lots of trips & I can say I’m excited to plan another trip back soon!

Que vengan a visitar y a meditar las estaciones donde cristo fue crucificado es un hermoso lugar 🙏

Beautiful place to connect with the journey of Christ. The tour was educational and spiritual. I will definitely return.

Wonderful, I can’t explain how I’m feeling but I feel so happy and pace. Thanks Good

llevar agua suficiente.
Un bello lugar !
lleno de mucha calma y tranquilidad.

This is a great place to visit. my husband and I have visited more than once. We are Protestant but this is the shrine of Jesus Christ. no matter what denomination you are if you know Jesus or love Jesus visit this place.

It allows you to go back into time and walk the road of Via Dolorosa with Jesus Christ..

When you reach the end and see him on the cross, the emotions is so strong is like being in the presence of the Lord.

The Ascension scene is very emotional and touching. If you love the Lord; you need to go see the shrine. Churches need to take field trips, Sunday Schools to the shrine.

You will not leave there feeling the same way that you did when you came.

I knelt with Jesus in The garden of Gethsemane. So very close to the real thing that you feel the spirit of God.

The same way when you feel the spirit as you read the word and get into the word.

I believe this place was ordained by the Lord

An amazing and humbling experience! Such a powerful exhibit for anyone to visit - no matter where you are in your faith! Definitely a must see!!
