I'm not gonna lie, churches somehow always wow you with their design. The older they are, the more…read moregothic like they appear. The more modern they are, they end up being a little more flashy. However, that does not detract from the purpose of what the church is there for. I was in attendance here for a funeral and got a good feel of the place. It is more of a complex than just a church. The chapel portion of this feels very modern, but small. From the outside, it appears to be a big space, but once inside you see it is cut down to allow for other things to fit in, like the foyer, bathrooms, etc. The portion that holds the services is spacious and white, but still feels like it is small in comparison to other churches I have been to. The church people were accommodating for the service. We also used the hall space for after the service. I assume that this is used for everything under the sun. Weddings to gatherings. It is a decent space with lots of natural light. The service of food here was nice. Everything, including drinks, is served to you. Outside there are small places to sit to take in the natural portions outside. Shaded by trees and well maintained. The parking is either on street or in a small lot across the street.

Admission is $10.00 per adult, Teens (13-17): $8; Children (5-12): $7; Seniors/AAA/AARP: $8; Military/Veterans/1st Responders: $7; Children 4 and under: Free. There have been Groupon offers in the past, also. The stone and concrete models are the work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard Abbey, who devoted ~50 years to reproducing/replicating architectures and things like Noah's ark, the colosseum in Rome, Spanish missions, and other historic Christian buildings and displays and secular recreations including the Alamo, the leaning tour of Pisa, German castles, South African shrines, Hansel and Gretel's Temple of the Fairies (complete with a "caged" dragon). Having not visited most, if not all of the actual sites, himself, Br. Zoettl used 300 postcards he owned and I imagine, books, as points of reference for his designs. The film, "Brother Joseph and the Grotto," was released in 2013. Plan to spend from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours including spending time in the gift shop. I can't give 5 stars because the grotto is not wheelchair accessible, and I think that is a sad shame!
