Top Story - KidReporters Visit NCC!

Some junior members of the press recently paid a visit to National Christmas Center.

Joshua and Kiernan, rising fifth graders, came to review our museum for the web site KidFriendlyOnline.net. This web site, geared towards families and young children, rates top "kid friendly" attractions around the country. Several Lancaster County properties will be featured in their online critiques and the top reviews, chosen by KidFriendly staff, will be published in a hardcover book.

Walk from "Nazareth" to "Bethlehem" in The First Christmas

Walk from "Nazareth" to "Bethlehem" in The First Christmas
Life-sized figures and realistic scenery transport you back in time over 2000 years. Journey with Mary and Joseph. See a typical home of the time and a humble carpenter's shop. Navigate through a caravansary - an oasis marketplace, a rest stop for weary travelers. Experience the dangers of the journey, and be awed by the appearance of a glowing angel. Hear Latin and Aramaic being spoken, and listen to the music of the time. Join the shepherds' trek and at the end of the journey, in a humble grotto, behold the birth of Christ.
