The Tabernacle Experience is a full-size
indoor exhibit of the Tabernacle of the
Old Testament.
Guided tours take guests through stations of the Tabernacle where they will teach about the covenants and symbols of the Tabernacle.
From there, guests have the opportunity to view additional displays of Christ and learn more about the Tabernacle and Temples.
The entire tour takes about an hour.
What is the Tabernacle?
After God delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, they wandered the wilderness for many years. During that time, the people of Israel were commanded to build a tabernacle so that God could “dwell among them” (Exodus 29:46).
Tabernacle literally means ‘place of dwelling’ and was called so in the belief that God literally lived within its sacred confines. When Israel camped, the tabernacle was set up in the precise center of the camp (symbolizing the idea that God was to be the center of his people’s lives).
The Tabernacle of the Old Testament was more than a sacred structure—it was a powerful teaching tool. Through symbols and design, it teaches how we can draw closer to God and understand our need for Jesus Christ. Like modern temples, the Tabernacle points the way back to God’s presence and helps us see how Christ makes that journey possible.
