Next, you'll visit the KITCHEN KETTLE VILLAGE – a charming marketplace of shops and restaurants. Then, Sight & Sound Theatres invites you to experience the show “JONAH.” Jonah is a prophet and a man desperately trying to outrun his calling from God — a calling that leads straight to his enemy, Nineveh. After uncharted adventures lead him off a storm tossed ship and into the belly of a giant fish, Jonah believes all hope is lost. But in the depths, will he learn how to receive grace and extend mercy, even toward those he opposed the most? Experience one of the Bible's most powerful stories of mercy as Jonah's journey comes to life like never before in this original production from Sight & Sound Theatres. Tonight, enjoy Dinner and head back to your hotel.
Day 5
Today after enjoying a Continental Breakfast, you will go to THE AMISH EXPERIENCE attraction. The Amish Country Homestead is a reflection of their commitment to accurately and sensitively portray the Old Order Amish as they live and work in today's world. The Homestead is the home of the fictional Amish family of Daniel and Lizzie Fisher, whom you have gotten to know in the Amish Experience Theater's “Jacob's Choice.” Inside the Homestead, learn of Amish traditions and practices, plain clothing and life without electricity. The Fisher One-Room School is attached to the house and filled with authentic desks and furnishings from an actual Amish school. You'll learn the tradition of teaching eight grades in one room. From the pantry stocked full of freshly canned vegetables to the family's plain clothes… from propane-powered lamps to air-compressor driven appliances…the Fisher Family Homestead truly provides insights into the complex riddles of a culture so very different from our own. Then, you will enjoy a show at the MAGIC & WONDER THEATER. Tonight, enjoy Dinner before heading back to your hotel.
