The Milk Grotto Church in Bethlehem is a spiritually significant site, offering free admission with typical visits lasting 15-30 minutes for prayer and contemplation. It is generally accessible to most visitors, though the grotto's cave-like nature may require some navigation. Guests can explore independently or as part of a guided Bethlehem tour, with no specific seasonal restrictions, though it will be significantly more crowded during major Christian holidays. Modest dress is recommended out of respect for its religious significance, and a unique tradition involves the collection of 'milk powder' from the grotto's walls, believed by many to aid fertility.
