Question 4

Accepted Answer

The Nativity is busiest on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday late afternoon/evening.  Mornings and early afternoon are the least busy.

Question 5

Are children allowed?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Visitors of all ages are welcome.  We have an entire section of nativities of particular interest to children--Legos, Harry Potter, puppets, nativity costumes, etc.  We also have an I-spy style scavenger hunt that kids love!  One note: since many of the nativities are fragile and irreplaceable, we ask that children be carefully supervised and reminded not to touch. There is no child care at this event.

No, this is a multi-faith event. We welcome all, no matter your religion.

On-site security will be at the church building 24/7 while nativities are in the building. No one is allowed to touch a nativity, other than the owner. Set-up of a nativity will only occur by the owner. There are thorough and expansive check-in and check-out procedures for all of the nativities.

Question 10

How long will the check-in/check-out process take?

Accepted Answer

Please be patient and leave plenty of time to check-in and check-out your nativities. We are assuming that we will be very busy and we will do our very best to act speedily. Please make sure you have plenty of time in your day for this important process.
