MANSFIELD — As many are trying to make sense of dramatic world events rapidly occurring, one popular visitor destination in the Buckeye Bible Belt is re-opening its doors and making an expansion of ‘Biblical proportions.’
After temporarily closing its doors during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, BibleWalk has announced it is unveiling its newest tour, entitled “The Kingdom of God.” This latest exhibit tour joins five other tours at the attraction, which annually attracts forty-thousand visitors and is Ohio’s only life-size wax museum.
“The primary message of God’s Word is about a King and His Kingdom,” says Julia Mott-Hardin, Director of BibleWalk. “God once placed man in the Garden of Eden, because of the blood of Jesus the Garden of Eden has now been placed within man – ‘For behold the Kingdom of God is within you.’
Other exhibit tours include: The Life of Christ, Miracles of the Old Testament, The Heart of the Reformation, The Museum of Christian Martyrs and Amazing Grace – The Journeys of Paul.
According to Mott-Hardin, a key message of GOD’s Word is about the King of Kings, His Kingdom, and the restoration of His kingdom to Earth. This thirty minute tour will take an in-depth look involving several scenes with Jesus and Nicodemus, Jesus and Pilate, and the Parable of the Sower.
BibleWalk is a world-renowned life-size wax museum featuring 100 scenes and over 325 wax figures. Each scene is complemented by individual wall murals, authentic costuming and is also underscored by original music and narration. BibleWalk – God’s Word in wax, alive with God’s Holy Spirit.
This new self-guided tour will be at a cost of $5.50 for adults, $5.25 for seniors and $4.25 for students. Due to the financial impact of COVID-19, the museum is pleased to extend a 10% discount on admission prices in addition to free tours for children 10 and under. Normal hours are Wednesday thru Saturday between 10:00am – 4:00pm.
BibleWalk also houses eight one-of-a-kind exhibits: The Walk of Parables, American Votive Folk-Art, Wood-Carvings, Emmanuel Word Pictures, Rare Bible Collection, Christian Art Gallery, Elfred Lee’s painting – The Invitation and three Animated Scenes.

BibleWalk will be adding their ninth exhibit in winter of 2020 with over two hundred Bibles in all different languages from around the world.
BibleWalk is an outreach ministry of Diamond Hills Cathedral located at 500 Tingley Avenue.
BibleWalk first opened its doors August 15, 1987. At that time BibleWalk, also known as “The Living Bible Museum,” consisted of museum quality fiberglass figures consisting of 19 scenes. Today, BibleWalk has grown into 100 scenes and over 325 wax figures.
