Time Elevator, Motion simulator museum in Mamilla Mall, Jerusalem, Israel
Time Elevator is a simulator museum inside Mamilla Mall featuring motion-enabled seating synchronized with film presentations. The experience takes visitors through roughly 3000 years of the city's history, with sensory effects that complement what appears on screen.
The museum traces Jerusalem's evolution from ancient times to the present day. It covers pivotal moments including temple construction, Roman occupation and destruction, and the founding of the modern state.
The name reflects its core concept: moving seats and sensory effects are designed to make history feel immediate and physical. Visitors encounter Jerusalem's past through these combined effects, which work together with the film.
The entrance is located within Mamilla Mall, making it accessible by public transit. Shows run multiple times throughout the day and last approximately 30 minutes each, so visitors can fit the experience into their schedule without advance planning.
A surprising feature is the use of floor vibrations during the show that simulate earthquakes and tremors from history. This physical element deepens the sensation of moving through actual events rather than relying on film effects alone.
