I have been on the Road to Bethlehem many, many times, dating back to the old Nunawading location. It is a family tradition. It doesn't matter what religion you are, or if you are not religious at all. Aside from the story telling about the birth of Jesus, there are lots of activities for kids each year including face painting and a petting zoo. There's lots of food stalls. All in all it is a great time. Be aware that some scenes are noisy and have strobe lighting. Anyone with sensory issues should come prepared.

Amazing hidden gem. Never knew about this, lived in the area my whole life. It's the story of Jesus - high quality, interactive, full production, fully immersive, non-digital. Seriously good, I was legitimately amazed. Probably doesn't need bigger attendance though. It's sold out basically instantly and they run it dozens of times a day.

Brendan Woodward ☆ 5/5

A humble stable becomes ground zero for a world-changing event—an arrival both miraculous and unstoppable. Road to Bethlehemy: 2000 years in the making, and still rewriting destiny. Absolutely loved it!

Homer C ☆ 5/5

Great Christmas tradition for me and my family. Story is cohesive and beautifully played out with a touch of humour here and there. Lovely choire at the end, loved it. Lots of people there didn't diminish the quality of the lovely experience. 10 out of 10, would recommend for any families.

Honestly I LOVED it. Attending the Auslan session was so amazing and just so enjoyable. Its always such a joy to attend. Few feedback ideas: -providing a rubber track thats barriers off for disabled (wheelchair) or mobility items to use during the performance. Another suggestion is potentially having a desensitization space for over stimulated individuals.
