Very mediocre movie, only suitable for Hebrew-speakers. The staff said it was in English but simultaneous translation on headphones which they don't make you aware of. Performance we booked for was delayed, so we came back the next day. So many things to do in Jerusalem. Avoid this.

I purchased tickets to experience the Time Elevator for myself and my three children. We arrived at the venue well in advance of the screening time. Unfortunately, we were forced to wait a considerable amount of time before being told that the show would be delayed by an unspecified period of time....
MoreI purchased tickets to experience the Time Elevator for myself and my three children. We arrived at the venue well in advance of the screening time. Unfortunately, we were forced to wait a considerable amount of time before being told that the show would be delayed by an unspecified period of time. When I enquired about having my tickets exchanged, we were met with unhelpful and rude staff. We ultimately decided to exchange our tickets and return to see the show the next day. The following day when we arrived, we explicitly asked whether the show would be in English. We were not told that the show was entirely in Hebrew, nor were we given headsets (which apparently were to be provided to English speakers). Needless to say, we spent a considerable amount of money to watch a film that we could not understand. Notwithstanding our bad experience, which could have simply been a case of unfortunate luck, the show itself was mediocre at best. The film itself felt cheap and the overall experience was tedious. Overall, the Time Elevator was GROSSLY OVERPRICED to the point where it was almost a scam. I would STRONG advise that you avoid this attraction, and instead spend the money and time appreciating the history of Jerusalem first hand.

“Watching and shaking”
There was a lot of shaking going on while watching a less-than-well-made movie. I'm not sure who the target audience was; younger kids would like the shaking and graphics of tunnel travel, but I think the story line was for older kids.
