A judge in Florida has ruled that The Holy Land Experience, a Christian theme park, is being used “to spread what it considers to be God’s word,” and is therefore exempt from all property taxes.

Zion’s Hope, which runs the park in Southwest Orlando, uses walk-through dioramas and reproductions of relics and cities to present the history and stories of the Bible for its visitors. Guests, assuming their attire is not “immodest” and they refrain from smoking and bringing any outside food or drink inside, pay $29.99 per adult and $19.99 per child to enter the park.

And don’t leave without visiting the Jerusalem Street Market! Why? Two words: Biblical ties!
