The Sea of Galilee, also known as the Kinneret, holds great significance as a Christian pilgrimage site where Jesus is believed to have performed miracles. Travelers can explore the surrounding areas such as the plain of Armageddon and the ancient Biblical city of Megiddo. The stunning pastoral vista from the southernmost point offers a breathtaking view of the sea with the Golan Heights in the backdrop.
What an amazing experience to stand on the same shore as Jesus and the Disciples. It is a beautiful place and there are some well preserved sites. If you get to visit, take a boat tour, eat the St. Peter fish (Mango Tilapia) for sale all over and visit the historical sites.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

(Translated by Google) Mitzpe Nimrod Segev Wise: Mitzpe Nimrod Segev Difficulty level: easy Entrance fee: free Accessibility: No Picnic tables: no Purchase of food and drinks on the site: no Services: no About: A commemorative site and landscape observation site established at Rosh Pina in memory of Nimrod Segev, son of the mosheva. Nimrod fell in the battle of Matlaa al-Sha'ab in the Second Lebanon War. The site is also in memory of the members of the tank crew who fell together with him. The location of the monument: in the eastern Upper Galilee, about 500 meters above sea level, in an open area in the Rosh Pina local authority, northwest corner of the reconstruction site in the settlement. The site is also a garden for the plants of the Land of Israel. The observatory is a tourist station in Rosh Pina. At the disposal of the visitors there was an audio stand which, in addition to the story of Nimrod's life, also tells the legacy of the settlement in the area, in Hebrew and English. The view from Mitzpe Nimrod extends over a large part of the north of the country: to the north the Mount Hermon, to the east the Golan Heights, to the south Mount Gilead and to the west - the slopes of Mount Canaan, on which the Mitzvah is built. Points of interest on the site: a. Four large rocks in the entrance plaza, engraved with the names of those who fell in the tank: Gilad Stockelman, Nimrod Segev, Nir Cohen and Noam Goldman b. Observation balcony to the past: views of the Hula Valley, the Golan Heights, the Hermon, the Korazim Mountains, the Golan Heights, the Hermon, Mount Canaan and the Rosh Pina stream. c. The Garden of the Land is Israeli and has a rich selection of plants from the Land of Israel, from the Mount Canaan region and other sites including: almond, carob, fig, oak, olive and pomegranate and more are added to them from time to time. In the garden, there are assembly areas. d. A wind chime that is 3 m long, hangs at a height of 8 m, whose sounds change. The experience: An impressive site with its beauty and the thought invested in the various fields relevant to its maintenance and cultivation which add a great touch to the commemoration of the fallen May the memory of the fallen be engraved in Israel's heritage Yossi Mirom, CEO "Israel and the World" array (Original) מצפה נמרוד שגב ווייז : מצפה נמרוד שגב דרגת קושי : קלה עלות כניסה : חינם הנגשה : לא שולחנות פיקניק : לא רכישת מזון ומשקאות באתר : לא שירותים : לא אודות : אתר הנצחה ותצפית נוף שהוקמו בראש פינה לזכרו של נמרוד שגב, בן המושבה . נמרוד נפל בקרב בעייתא א-שעב במלחמת לבנון השנייה. האתר גם לזכרם של חברי צוות הטנק שנפלו יחד אתו. מיקום האנדרטה : בגליל העליון המזרחי, כ 500 מטרים מעל לפני הים, בשטח פתוח ברשות המקומית ראש פינה צפונית-מערבית לאתר השחזור ביישוב . האתר הוא גם גן לצמחי ארץ ישראל. המצפה מהווה תחנת תיירות בראש פינה. לרשות המבקרים במקום עמדה קולית המספרת, בנוסף לסיפור חייו של נמרוד, גם את מורשת ההתיישבות באזור, בעברית ובאנגלית. הנוף הנשקף ממצפה נמרוד משתרע על חלק ניכר של צפון הארץ: מצפון רכס החרמון, ממזרח רמת הגולן, מדרום רמת גלעד וממערב – מורדות הר כנען, עליהם בנוי המצפה. מוקדי העניין באתר : א . ארבעה סלעים גדולים ברחבת הכניסה, עליהם חקוקים שמות הנופלים בטנק: גלעד שטוקלמן, נמרוד שגב, ניר כהן ונועם גולדמן ב . מרפסת תצפית לעבר : נופי עמק החולה, רמת הגולן , החרמון , רמת כורזים , רמת הגולן , החרמון , הר כנען ונחל ראש פינה. ג . הגן הארץ ישראלי ובו מבחר עשיר של צמחי ארץ ישראל, מאזור הר כנען ומאתרים אחרים בהם : שקד, חרוב, תאנה, אלון, זית ורימון ומתוספים אליהם עוד מדי פעם . בגן אזורי כינוס . ד . פעמון רוח שאורכו 3 מ' , תלוי בגובה 8 מ' שצליליו מתחלפים . החוויה : אתר מרשים ביופיו ובמחשבה המושקעת במגוון התחומים הרלוונטיים לתחזוקתו ולטיפוחו המוסיפים נופך רב להנצחת הנופלים יהי זכר הנופלים חקוק במורשת ישראל יוסי מירום , מנכ"ל מערך"ישראל והעולם"

(Translated by Google) *🇮🇱 ♦️ 🌋 ❤️ On the way - Dalton 2022 🏴☠️🇮🇱🌹* Welcome to Mitzpe Nimrod We welcome you to Mitzpe Nimrod' with blessing and joy. You are invited to enjoy the special, quiet, holy atmosphere. The observatory is named after Nimrod Segev who was killed in the Second Lebanon War and was built by his father. Hazi Segev, who wanted to perpetuate Nimrod's name and instill his legacy to all visitors and future generations full of love, Nimrod enlisted in the IDF on the last day of March 1996 and served in the Armored Corps. On August 9, 2006, 15th of 2006, the chariot tank he used as a load fell in a battle in southern Lebanon when his tank, which was being pushed on tractors that were paving a new road in the village of Ayyata al-Sha'ab, was hit by a side charge and immediately after that it was hit by an anti-aircraft missile. 9 The explosion of the missile and the ammunition that was in the tank killed Nimrod and his tankmates: Gilad Stockelman, Nir Cohen and Noam Goldman. Nimrod was killed in the Second Lebanon War and is 28 years old, handsome and talented, full of personal charm. The view from Mitzpe Nimrod is the magical view seen by Nimrod's eyes throughout his life - as a baby. As a child, as a teenager, as a man, in the north of the Mount Hermon, in the east of the Golan Heights, in the south of Mount Gilead and in the west - the slopes of Mount Canaan, on which the Mitzvah is built <<< Today we met Chazi Segev who chose to perpetuate and distinguish himself in a fig tree Good people from the area helped with Nimrod's father's contract May his memory be blessed Closing a circle today Omar son of Nimrod was 3 years old in Naflu Another project is Nimrod Coffee, which reminds us every time we drink coffee, that we enjoy in the moments when we drink it. 2022/6/21 09:06 Skeletons on the go (Original) *🇮🇱 ♦️ 🌋 ❤️ בדרכים - דלתון 2022 🏴☠️🇮🇱🌹* ברוכים הבאים למצפה נמרוד אנו מקדמים את ביאכם למצפה נמרוד' בברכה ובשמחה הנכם מוזמנים ליהנות מהאווירה המיוחדת, השקטה, הקדושה. המצפה קרוי על שמו של נמרוד שגב שנהרג במלחמת לבנון השנייה ונבנה על ידי אביו. חזי שגב, שביקש להנציח את שמו של נמרוד ולהנחיל את מורשתו לכל המבקרים ולדורות הבאים מלא אהבה, נמרוד התגייס לצה"ל ביומו האחרון של חודש מרס 1996 ושירת בחיל השריון. במלחמת לבנון השנייה נקרא נמרוד לשירות מילואים ב"צו 8", ועלה ללבנון עם טנק המרכבה שבו שימש כטען. ב-9 באוגוסט 2006, ט"ו באב תשס"ו, נפל בקרב בדרום לבנון כשהטנק שלו, שחיפה על טרקטורים שסללו ציר תנועה חדש בכפר עייתה א-שעב, נפגע ממטען צד ומיד אחר כך ספג טיל נ"ט מפיצוץ הטיל והתחמושת שהייתה בטנק נהרגו נמרוד וחבריו לטנק: גלעד שטוקלמן, ניר כהן ונועם גולדמן. נמרוד נהרג במלחמת לבנון השנייה והוא בן 28, יפה תואר מוכשר, מלא קסם אישי. הנוף הנשקף ממצפה נמרוד הוא הנוף הקסום שנשקף לעיניו של נמרוד לאורך כל חייו - בתינוק. כילד, כנער, כאיש, בצפון רכס החרמון, במזרח רמת הגולן, בדרום רמת גלעד ובמערב – מורדות הר כנען, עליהם בנוי המצפה <<< היום פגשנו חזי שגב שבחר להנציח ולהתייחד בעץ תאנה אנשים טובים מאזור עזרו בחוזה של אביו של נמרוד הייה זכרו ברוך סגירת מעגל עושה היום עומר בנו של נמרוד הייה בן 3 ב נפלו מיזם נוסף קפה נמרוד שמזכיר לנו בכול שתייה קפה בשבוזכתם אנו נהנים ברגעים רגלים 2022/6/21 09:06 שלדי בדרכים

Magdala is a peaceful and relaxing place with spacious rooms, excellent bathrooms, and beautiful views. The buffet is always fresh, and the atmosphere is respectful of all beliefs. It's a pilgrimage housing with an archaeological site that has been meticulously invested in. The stunning church is a testament to the dedication put into this place. Father Eamon Kelly provides insightful guidance and the opportunity to explore the synagogue where Jesus likely taught.
Such a special place. There is a lot to see here. I love the beautiful chapel that has a direct view of the Sea of Galilee. The ruins are stunning, and the views of the sea are so beautiful! We would spend lots of time dipping our feet in the water and taking in the beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

Amazing place, considering the five stars but need to wait until construction is complete to get a full picture of the place. So much information to take place and such an important place, especially in this day and age, to truly recognise and commemorate the amazing woman of The Bible! The lady who seems to run the church was so relaxed, we had a fantastic chat with her and she is full of information and made the experience truely amazing! We learnt so much about the woman of The Bible and how many go unnoticed and somewhat unappreciated. The church was amazing, full with so much artwork mainly by woman, but also an amazing portrait by a male about the miracle that took place when the old woman touched Jesus' feet.

Sacred & Religious Sites
Yardenit is a significant Christian pilgrimage site located on the banks of the River Jordan, believed to be the place where Jesus was baptized. The serene lakefront garden is home to peacocks and offers a tranquil setting for visitors. Even for non-baptismal tourists, it's a beautiful destination with picturesque scenery and a peaceful ambiance. Visitors can relax, enjoy the natural surroundings, and observe wildlife such as fish and ducks in the river.
Even if you don’t intend to get baptised, this place is a beautiful destination for a tourist. The scenery is beautiful and the ambience is just great. You can sit there and relax, enjoy the weather and birds chirping away, or even watch some fishes or ducks swimming across the Jordan river. You need to pay for toilet/shower facilities though. There’s even a relatively large souvenir shop if you want to buy some presents back. Parking is just right outside, making it easily accessible to visit

The blanket they call a robe is just a sheet cut into pieces and costs $25. And they yell that you can't swim without it. Even though there's a beach a meter away. Go on in and swim wherever you want. And tourists that they bring by busses pays it. 25 per 48 person's, 1200 per bus. Just to enter to free Yardenit river. Interesting. I wonder if Christ would approve?

A peaceful and well-kept place by the Jordan River, where, according to tradition, Jesus was baptized. If you’re a believer, this spot holds deep meaning and spiritual value. If you visit it from a cultural or historical point of view, it’s still a very interesting and meaningful site to explore. You can take a quiet walk along the river and enjoy the calm atmosphere.
Igor F — Google review
One of my favorite stops on the Jordan River! It is free to enter, although they do charge for bathrooms, but the river itself is in a gorgeous location surrounded by trees, and it feels much more like it would have hundreds and thousands of years ago. It is a baptism site, so expect to see lots of people in and out of the water getting baptized.
Nathan B — Google review
Nice area at the Jordan River. The nature here is really beautiful and seems to be part of a jungle in South America (and not in Israel). There is the is the possibility to have a bath/baptism in the river which is frequently used. There are showers as well which might be useful in cold days. The entrance is foe free and the is a large merchandise shop.
Lukas F — Google review
A Canadian Tourist Review: This is where tour buses take groups who want to get baptized in the Jordan River like Jesus did. I wish they took us to a spot that wasn't as heavy on souvenirs. You must walk through a big souvenir shop just to get through the entrance to the Jordan River. I have been to thousands of attractions and never seen a souvenir shop at the entrance as mandatory to go through. On the other side, lineups of hundreds of people getting baptized, horses and colts near the water, and thousands of fish is interesting to see. Note the area for walking along the river is about 100 meters. You're not going to be here for more than half an hour unless partaking in a baptism.

It was one of the world travel life experiences I recommend to dip your feet in the River Jordan and watch some emotional Baptisms of people from all around the world on a sentimental day of their life. The gift shop has many items that capture the essence of this special place.

Keshet Cave

Nature & Parks
Hiking area
Caverns & Caves
Limestone archway spanning the remains of a shallow cave, popular with rappellers.
Keshet Cave is absolutely a must-see whether you are an Israeli or a tourist. Admission is free 24/7, with plenty of parking and many picnic tables. The only downside is the stationary public restrooms which are permanently closed. The only option is to use stinky plastic booths. Otherwise, a great place to experience!
Mikhail A — Google review
A partially collapsed cave left a magnificent arc. An interesting and pretty formation, with a great view of the sea, next to the border with Lebanon. Very accessible, but also allows for repelling at the site, or for a short hike to the site. Highly recommended.
Reem S — Google review
A very interesting spot to go to if you have the time / happen to be near the area (i.e. visiting Rosh HaniKra). View when you reach the cave is amazing. From the parking, you have to walk approximately 10 minutes to reach the destination. Signs are very clear and easy to follow. The 8997 route to this view also provides good photo opportunities, providing a top down view of the surrounding landscape

Very well maintained national park. Paved walkways to the caves for easier access; pathways are graded so not too steep. Views of the surrounding countryside are amazing. The cave systems to view are a natural wonder to see. Fascinating history Not on the typical tourist map but it should be. Well worth the drive to see.

Beit She'an National Park

Archaeological site
Nature & Parks
National park
National park encompassing the substantial & well-preserved ruins of an ancient Roman city.
Spectacular place to visit. Spent a good afternoon exploring in the heat and the shade. It was exciting to see the excavation. I visited the bathhouse and public latrines area. The main street was exciting as well. I didn't climb the hill and focused my time in the town.
Steve S — Google review
I've been to Beit She'an three different times on three different trips to Israel, usually in the late afternoon. It was very interesting, especially from the top of the hill, but also very hot, even with the strong wind that always seems to be blowing. The park is bigger than it looks so I would recommend carrying lots of water, more than you think you would normally need. The last time I was there they had installed beautiful stainless steel cold water drinking fountains in a few spots which I thought was just amazing.
Tim M — Google review
Extraordinary Roman town, with middle east largest theater. If you come during the summer, bring plenty water, this place is hoter than Kuwait. Plan no less than 3 hrs to see most of the site, bring a hat beside water, there are water coolers on site at the entrance mainly

Nice spot to see some ancient history! It was great to be able to see what a city would have looked like. If you do stop in be sure to check out the Egyptian ruins at the top of the hill overlooking the entire city. Lots of remains of ancient ruins like the colosseum, public sanitary, the theater, the city etc, etc. The architecture is amazing and what’s left of the buildings tell an amazing story about its greatness. Extremely good Roman archeological site….for its shape and all well preserved ruins (many mosaics, good theater,….) it is absolutely at the level of Rome forums
Alex D — Google review
Beit She'an's history spans millennia, beginning in the Chalcolithic period and featuring over 20 layers of settlement on its ancient tell. It was a significant site for the Canaanites, Egyptians, Israelites, Philistines (where King Saul's body was displayed), and Hellenistic Greeks, who renamed it Scythopolis. The city flourished under the Romans and Byzantines as a provincial capital but declined after a devastating earthquake in 749 AD, leaving behind extensive ruins of its Roman past. The work done here is first class, the ancient columns has been stood up again and the amphitheatre has been rebuilt. The explanation signage is excellent

Now this place was it! Back in the day!!! Theres a latrine with marble seats for your 🍑 and marble floor for your feet! It's very clear it was a hot spot for trade and for entertainment!!! Unlike the town on the hill right next to it....the short hike up is completely worth the view! Go here if in Israel!
Calciomoti — Google review
Stunning remains of over 20 layers of civilization. Most notable are the recent Roman ruins. One can picture chariots heading up and down the main street. The 7000 seat theater is mostly standing and the original public bathrooms are nearby, what a gas! There is an entrance plaza, a large bathhouse, streets, shops, a bridge, a ritual compound and more. An earthquake in 749 shook the Roman temple and the huge columns fell. They still lay there and it's hard to imagine that this is all real and not replicas. Amazing experience.

Worth a short visit since it is only a very short walk from the big Annunciation Church. It only takes a few minutes to see. There is a nice church and then you go downstairs to view the location which might have been the home of the Holy Family and/or Joseph's carpentry workshop. They have kept the downstairs rock-hewn humble.

Centre International Marie de Nazareth

Mentioned on

Permanently Closed
Religious destination
Nature & Parks
Centre International Marie de Nazareth is a cultural complex located near the Basilica of the Annunciation. It is managed by Chemin Neuf, a Roman Catholic community from France, and serves as a space for ecumenical work and inter-religious dialogue. The center features an archaeological site with ruins dating back to the First Temple period, a rooftop garden offering panoramic views, and a café.
Go here! Visiting the center will add to your experience of Nazareth. The best part: the very friendly and smart receptionist guy who will tell you about the ruins and architecture of ancient Nazareth. The 4 videos about the story of Mary and Jesus are interesting if you don't yet know the story. Otherwise you will not learn anything new. The view from the roof terrace is very nice. A good quiet spot to enjoy the sun for a few moments. Entrance fee is donation based.

A must visit place for tourists here in Nazareth. It's just right across the street to the Church Of The Annunciation. I'd recommend everyone to watch all 04 (15 minutes each) video clips in 04 different theaters before walking all the way up to the top level where you'll have a wonderful view of Nazareth from the above.

The French community of the "Chemin Neuf" (New Way) takes care of the site built on ruins of a 1st century house, the neighbors of the Holy Family? offering a multimedia show on the life of Mary of Nazareth.

Church of the Annunciation

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Church of the Annunciation, a modernist Roman Catholic basilica, was built in 1969 on the believed site of the Annunciation. The Franciscan-run church stands out in the Old City with its lantern-topped cupola. It's one of two churches claiming to mark where Mary received news of giving birth to Jesus. The church features icons of the Virgin Mary from around the world and offers electric candles for lighting, an eco-friendly alternative.
Beautiful, amazing, spiritual and peaceful place! As a Catholic being able to visit the place where The annunciation happened to the Virgin Mary was a simply wonderful and religious experience. One can light up an electric candle 🕯in this church - I really liked this idea as I believe that it is more friendly to the environment. Amazing place and a must visit church when you are in Nazareth. People can go in a quiet place inside and pray. There are also a lot of religious artworks displayed outside from different countries. The thing i liked more was the collection of Maria portrait from all over the world. I strongly recommend to visit it and maybe take some pictures at night, because with all the lights on it's amazing.
Alex D — Google review
It's a must see for Christians and general public. However it is isolated in the middle of Nazareth which is currently suffering from bad management and disfunctual city services. Hopefully the city will improve and this beautiful site will shine again. Don't forget to bring something to cover the shoulders as respect to the holy site.
Lior S — Google review
In my opinion, one of the most impressive and amazing churches in the world. The visit to the Church of the Annunciation is powerful and interesting, the structure is amazing.

Another thing that I liked is an alley with the paintings and mosaics to the church from all over the world 🌎 One can find donations from the South America, India, and my homeland Ukraine 🇺🇦 It feels really good to find things related to your country when you are that far from it, especially when your country is under attack from the terrorist russian state. If you plan your visit in advance, I also recommend to bring coins and cash for the donations to support the church.

Basilica of the Annunciation Nazareth, also known as The Catholic Church of the Annunciation, is the most impressive and spectacular site in the city and is considered to be one of the most holy churches for Christianity. Basilica of the Annunciation an outstanding building in the center of town, is built where it’s believed the house the Virgin Mary was. On the lower level is the most holy place – Mary’s cave, the cave in which, according to the Catholic-Christian tradition, Mary was visited by Archangel Gabriel and told her she is destined to carry Jesus in her womb.

a very special place with unique story. the church itself quite new and was built upon the ruins of the origins of st. mary...many illustrations from around the world were sent here for display and you sense that this is a piece of history. there is no entrance fee and many pilgrims come here for spiritual charging.

The most impressive church I’ve ever seen. It is modern, huge, tho it still preserve the old trails from Jesus’s time. Also, in the church’s yard, there are icons from all around the world, and it’s interesting to see different cultures picturing the holy family in their own way. You can visit the church for free, there is no fee.

The site includes the Hospitaller Fortress, Knights Halls, an Enchanted Garden, and a museum that offers an informative audio guide.

As someone whos been to malta and learned about the history of the knight of st John , it was interesting seeing the history of the templer and hospitlar knights in the holy land. Nice staff but finding the ticket office is a bit confusing
Jezzaftw — Google review
We stayed in Acre overnight, primarily to visit the Citadel. We arrived just before 9 and went straight in. There is a nice route laid out with plenty of information boards and exhibits. There is lots of information about the Military Orders, the Crusades, life at that period as well as an area that is family friendly with interactive displays and I think some dressing up areas. The place is obviously pretty large and it took a couple of hours to see everything and by then it was crowded with lots of coach parties so if you want to see it in peace, arrive at opening time. I'd recommend combing this with a trip to the nearby tunnels (very quick - 15 minutes there and back) and also the sea walls to look at the Ottoman walls and remains of the Crusader fortifications.

Buy your combo tickets here for the citadel, museums, bathhouse and Templar’s Tunnel. It was well worth the 49 sheckal price for all of them. The citadel itself was a really well done and well preserved structure. There was an excellent entertaining audio guide and I especially enjoyed the bathhouse videos. We also paid the extra for the Leonardo de Vinci exhibit and enjoyed that.

Great place for swimming. Lots of fun to be had here as the water is comfortable year round. The day was comfortable warm and the water had the right temperature.

It has numerous colored fishes. The open space is of grassland and a suitable place to spend time. The reflection of trees in the water is breathtaking. They have facilities like water supply, place to make BBQ, sitting benches, parking and washroom with dress changing space. Wow huge place lots of parking and space. The water is amazing.

Baháʼí Garden Haifa

Mentioned on

Pilgrimage place
Nature & Parks
The Baháʼí Garden in Haifa is a must-see attraction, drawing over half a million visitors annually. It features 19 terraces with geometric flower beds that ascend to the stunning domed shrine on Mount Carmel. The gardens offer gravel-covered paths and breathtaking views of Haifa Bay. To make the most of your visit, consider joining the free Panorama Tour for an informative experience about the Baha faith, garden structure, and beliefs.
A must see if you are in Haifa. One ofvthe most beautiful places I have been to, the entire environment is like a work of art. During normal visiting hours you can go to the top, middle area (near the shrine) or bottom just to look around. But if you want to walk down the garden you need to book a free tour ahead of time, which isn't really that big of an issue. The tour only covers the top levels of the garden to the shrine, but they offer multiple a day in multiple languages (English, Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian). At the end of the tour you can even go inside part of the shrine. They also had an evening event while I was there where you could freely walk around the lower levels at night. I don't know how often they do these events, but it was definitely cool to be able to see the whole gardens start to finish, even if it had to be done in two parts. Highly recommend this location if you are in Haifa.
Ezra D — Google review
First of all the entrance is free, which is a great plus for a place like this. Very nice view and beautiful gardens. Unfortunately isn't possible to visit the gardens on your own, but you have to wait for the guided tour (available in Jewish, Arab, English and Russian). A big no from my point of view is that you must stick to the high pace of the guides, so you have a very little time to enjoy the place and take some pictures, furthermore, the guide does not wait the group for the explanations, so if you waste one minute to take a photo, you'll miss the explanations about the place, the religion, etc.
Giovanni — Google review
The best thing to do in Haifa! The gardens are immaculate and run completely by volunteers. My husband and I went on a guided tour which was free. I definitely recommend going on the tour as this is the only way to view the upper terraces. An absolutely beautiful, peaceful place.

Some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. The Bahai faith is extremely welcoming and kind as you walk through the gardens at their holy site. Highly recommend going.
Benjamin P — Google review
The Gardens are beautiful. First the top level is free to all great views of the Haifa bay and the Baha’i gardens and shrine from the top. However if you really want to experience the gardens then get tickets in advance. If you are in Haifa it should be a must. The tour is about 60 minutes. It is 750 steps down. You will have a guided tour in English if you want and can stop at about 4 levels. You cannot walk back up the steps. You can take a bus 136 -7 stops (I think you need a Rav Kav. Like a metro card to board the bus) to return you back to the top, or walk through the German Colony Blvd and get a taxi. It a bit of a walk but there are cafes along the way back to the Carmel mountain
David E — Google review
An ordeal to get there unless by taxi or you're very, very fit to walk there as it's all uphill. Taxis are extremely expensive unless you can get a group together to share the cost. The view from the top, however, is fantastic, providing panoramic views of the Haifa Bay area.
Fiona V — Google review
If you are in Israel, definitely make an effort to go here. The tour is interesting, the religion itself is interesting enough to learn about. Anyone from any background or creed can take something away from this group of people. In terms of the actual gardens themselves, they are some of the most immaculately kept and diverse plants that you will ever lay your eyes on. Everything is kept perfectly, down to the stones on the ground that you are walking on. As you descend, you will feel yourself appreciating the beauty more and more as you look back at each level that you pass. Take the time to explore the gardens and learn a little about the Bahai people You will not regret it.
Trevor — Google review
During the month of November, the gardens are a burst of bright color in a city with very few gardens blooming. Exquisitely manicured, the gardens are beautiful with many plantings of bright reds and other amazing colors. There are nineteen terraces that extend up the northern slope of Mt. Carmel. The golden dome Shrine of the Bab, is the resting place of the Prophet Herald of the Bahai faith. Impressive.

Beautiful park as always! I've visited many times, and it never fails to leave a great impression. The flowers are colorful and well-kept, the trees and green areas are lush, and the roses smell amazing. It's a lovely place to walk around, relax, and enjoy nature. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the water areas - they could use a bit more care and maintenance. Still, it's a wonderful and peaceful park that's always fun to visit.

Perfect visit for the open space, we'll maintained gardens combined with the modern history of Israel (well, compared to the rich history of the land, I'd say late 18th-20th century is modern:) It's 30nis for private car, so best to join and not drive each with thier own car. There is the site website which gives lots of info about the gardens and the connection and history to Baron Rothchild, which is buried in the gardens center. The trail is well paved and will fit anyone including wheelchairs. There are organised toilets at the entrance and water fountains inside. No pets or food allowed in the fardes, but yes to the outer trails. These are memorial living gardens and not picnic area. Outside the gardens there are trails which are also great to hike and some take you westward to amazing views over the Mediterranean. You can spend half a day mixing a hike to the cliff and then the quite pastoral gardens + coffee break or breakfast at the dairy restaurant there. Great with kids too, perfect for couples and a must place if you stay in Zichron Yakov (or if you want to have a day tour to this area - then Ramat Handiv, then Zichron and throw in a visit to one of many good wineries in the area). Note, there are openings hours, it's not open all the time. I think it's best visited toward late winter- spring as the gardens are at thier best. But there is lots of trees and shade so also during summer. The outer trails - they do not have shade so hot summer days is less advised. The whole place is very well managed and there is a usefull information point near the entrance at the parking lot with maps etc.

Gan Hanadiv - The generous's garden, named after Baron Rothschild, next to Zichron Yaakov, an hour from Tel Aviv. Lovely gardens with a few ponds and fountains and the tomb of the Baron and his wife. Lovely for a Saturday stroll with the kids. Next to it, there are a few nice easy trails, and Zichron Yaakov with some good restaurants.

Very beautiful park for a short 30-60 minutes hike. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The plants variety is ok - they could add more exotic stuff. The "smells" garden is awesome! Officially the entrance is free but you would likely arrive with a car and will need to pay 25 NIS for parking.

Great walk for all ages and energy levels. Stopped here on Shabbat morning around 915am. We beat the crowd and heat. We only went to the memorial garden as my dad has issues walking (due for knee replacement). Beautiful gardens.

Ramat Hanadiv is a stunning garden that offers a peaceful and relaxing experience. The variety of plants and flowers is impressive and the well-maintained paths make it easy to explore. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Loved it. I love the Israeli park system but this one in particular was a little annoying. It seems they’ve allowed to much of the world to deep into the antiquity; the amphitheater was dressed up for a concert and every where you turned there were concessions blasting junky western music.

Beautiful place. Very nice atmosphere and view. There are events here sometimes, so that’s fun. The restaurants are very expensive. I’d recommend taking a stroll there. If you only want to go into the grounds without going into the park itself, it’s ₪18 just to get in, so I’d advise going after 16:00 or 17:00, depending on when the park itself closes

Beautiful and rich in preserved history. If you like history, archeology and having a glimpse into how people in the past lived, these Roman ruins will give you a great view. It is worth the stop to see. This is an impressive Roman era ruin. It is vast and beautiful because it was a right next to the Mediterranean Sea. I enjoyed seeing all the first century arches, the ruins of Herod’s palace and bathhouse, the hippodrome, and the amphitheater. Going here is like walking into history. Paul and Peter from the Bible spent significant time in this place. Even if you are not a history buff, it is easy to imagine people living here and their way of live. It's also a home of amazing restaurants and craft galleries. A must visit.

A very well maintained historical archeological site allowing you to get a glimpse into the ancient Roman world. There is a lot of parking and the view of the see together with the remains is really special. The place is clean, has toilets, and many places selling food. The downside is that on sunny days large part of the park has no shade and it can be challenging and a bit too hot, eapecially with children

Love love love this city. So much to see and do. History and artifacts are everywhere. Definitely pack a hat, comfy walking shoes, sunscreen and water as there is lots of walking and exploring to do and it gets quite warm with little shade. Nice places to stop and eat overlooking the water but make sure to book if you want a window seat. Really cool place and a must see if you are in Israel. Highly recommend.

Went for a day trip here. Takes about 2 hours to explore it all. Can spend more time to relax by the port in restaurants within the park. Ruins from the Roman times..the view is enhanced by the sea besides. Two beaches nearby to add to the trip. Worth visiting for sure when in Israel or when a short one day vacation is what you are looking for.

The open-air setting features stone benches for seating, allowing guests to enjoy musical performances while taking in the beautiful Mediterranean backdrop.

Antique building, part of the ancient city. Now restored and open for various events. There are two entrances: to the territory of the old city, and to the area with cafes and shops. If you do not plan to have lunch, then it is better to pay only for one ticket - to the old city.

Nice concert venue. If you’re going there for a concert, maybe try packing a pillow or something soft to sit on like a jacket because the stone seats can be kind of painful after a while. As a visit during the day, it’s nice but nothing to write home about. But definitely would appreciate cleaner toilets.

Taybeh Brewing Company is a must-visit destination for beer enthusiasts. The brewery offers a variety of high-quality beers that can rival the German standard. Visitors are welcomed with warmth and hospitality, often receiving a tour of the production facilities and the opportunity to engage in conversations with the owners. Despite its small size, the brewery's dedication to producing excellent beer is evident. Guests can easily reach the brewery from Ramallah city center and enjoy their time savoring delicious beer amidst the picturesque Palestinian countryside.
The brewery is relatively small by Western standards, but so so worth a visit! We were given a great tour by the female brewer and tried some excellent beer, including their new Winter Seasonal! A great experience!
Zachary H — Google review
I turned up unannounced and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I was given a brief tour followed by a sample of their delicious beer. The brewery is surprisingly small but the effort and hard work they put into the product is impressive. Go visit (I visited alone and caught the shared yellow minibus from Ramalleh), buy a beer and sit outside in the sun enjoying the Palestinian countryside. You will not regret it.
Robin G — Google review
This is should be a must see on your trip. You can get to the brewery by catching a taxi or shared taxi from Ramallah city centre. I was in awe of this brewery, beers that challenge the UK scene and a very hospitable staff. I felt very welcomed and glad we got to hear their story. I'll 100% will be back and will also have to add their Oktoberfest festival to my bucketlist now!
James M — Google review
I cannot recommend a visit enough! The beer is very, very good and can absolutely compete with the german standard. They managed to brew completely different beer styles and they do them all well! When I visited we were welcomed with their wheat beer and given a short tour thru the production facilities, which ended in a longer conversation with one of the owners. Their story is fascinating and a great example of the diversity that makes palestine. My personal Highlight of a great trip and the bottle holds a special place in the collection.
Steffen H — Google review

Historic Sites
The Mount of Olives, a historic mountain referenced in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, holds significant religious and cultural importance. It has been a sacred spot for centuries and is now home to several important churches and holy sites. Notably, it was mentioned in the Scriptures as King David's escape route during his son's rebellion and later in the prophets. In the New Testament, it is where Jesus taught his disciples, wept over Jerusalem, and ascended into heaven.
Located in the old city Jerusalem. It is in walking distance from old city, and got lotsa historic & religious importance for Judaism.
Tina G — Google review
Fntastic experience. I strongly recoment going from the bottom to the top using, not the road, but the stairs. It will give you the opportunity to visit the valley of the kings. At the bottom of the valley, and then to duscover amzing views of old Jeruslem, the wall, the valley, and the miriad of tumbs, step by step. Better if you start your visit at 15:30 or 16:00 so that you can appreciate the sunset from the top.
Alejandro G — Google review
Such an amazing spot to visit. The views over Jerusalem from the top are incredible. The hike up is steep and takes some time, but is definitely worth it. The views are especially amazing during sunset.
Joost N — Google review
The Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem’s Old City, offers one of the most iconic views of the city. From its slopes, you can see the ancient walls, the Dome of the Rock, and the full sweep of Jerusalem’s layered past. Beyond the view, the Mount is rich in history and culture. It’s been a burial site for over 3,000 years and holds deep significance in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Landmarks like the ancient Jewish cemetery, the Garden of Gethsemane, and several historic churches reflect the area’s central role in the story of Jerusalem. Even for non-religious visitors, walking among the olive trees and centuries-old paths is a powerful experience. The mix of quiet, history, and panoramic beauty makes it one of the city’s most memorable spots. ***Visit early or late in the day for softer light and fewer crowds.
Anas S — Google review

This is where you get the iconic photo of old city Jerusalem. It is in walking distance from old city, just exit from lion gate and walk up the hill.

Allen L — Google review
Amazing place to see the Old City from a high point of view. It is really wonderful to see the sunset as the lights start to come on, something which I could call magical. Getting here can be a bit confusing and tiring in the summer, but it's completely worth it.

The Garden Tomb Jerusalem

Mentioned on

Garden
Sights & Landmarks
The Garden Tomb Jerusalem is a site surrounded by gardens and believed by some to be the location of Jesus Christ's resurrection. The history of the Land of Israel is rich, spanning from ancient times to the present day, with events such as Byzantine Rule and the British Mandate shaping its story. Located in Jerusalem City Centre, this historical site offers visitors a chance to explore its significance within walking distance of other attractions like Machane Yehuda Market and Damascus Gate.
This is a remarkable place. It offers a wonderful visual representation of the garden and tomb. The site has many places for worship. Hearing songs of praise in many languages was very touching. It is beautifully maintained. An excellent stop for any Christian pilgrim.
Bryan S — Google review
A quite and serene oasis tucked inside the city. A remarkable place. Don't visit with a rush, properly take in the place. The staff seemed very nice, very authentic. This place was the last place we visited in Jerusalem, and it was very very special. I'm glad it we left it last, and I'm glad I was a part of a very small group (of five), and it was pretty quiet the time we visited the place (Sunday morning). Oh, and in case you're wondering. The tomb was empty.
Snowbird . — Google review
Although there is no absolute certainty that this was, in fact, the tomb where Jesus was laid and from which he rose, its internal structure is exactly the same as that described in Holy Scripture. The place is wonderfully well maintained. When in Jerusalem, a visit to this place is a must. Beautiful and exciting!

Highly qualified guides do a great job of presenting the evidence that this is the actual site of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The grounds are beautifully maintained and there are multiple sites for group meetings for lectures. Group admissions are regulated so that the grounds don’t become crowded. You can enter and view the Garden Tomb.

For non Catholic Christians (I'm Catholic) they believe Christ was crucified and hurried here. I've been to both and I don't care both are plausible and actually very close to each other. So I have no problem with either speculation. I love them both. As an adult I can say I wept like I never thought I could.

Strangely serene place. Beautiful garden, very carefully tended. The question about this perhaps being Christ's tomb really hurts home when you see the place: proximity to major road to Damascus gate, skull formation in Rock, wine press, and tomb in quarry. Quite worth the visit. Free!

Mahaneh Yehudah Market is a renowned street market in Jerusalem, offering a wide array of goods including fruits, vegetables, apparel, and prepared foods. The market is also home to the recently renovated Yehudit Authentic Jerusalem Restaurant, known for its delectable dishes and comfortable atmosphere. At night, the market transforms into a vibrant and colorful hub with graffiti-covered shops and lively music. Visitors can enjoy fresh beer or try Arak, an anise liquor.
Maybe the most colorful markets in Israel (and one of the most in the world). People come here to buy food, to eat, to have drink with friends or just enjoy the atmosphere. Restaurants, bars, special vibe especially on Friday's noon which is very packed. Have attached light train station.

Mahane Yehuda is a charming market in Jerusalem, full of colors, flavors, and cultures with a unique Jerusalem vibe. The market is lively and vibrant, though some shops can be expensive, and it’s often better to carry cash. Open most days, it gets very busy on Thursdays and Fridays, and is closed on Saturdays. Drivers should note there are many parking inspectors, and parking is paid – obeying the rules is recommended.

Best Israeli market experience. Small businesses good prices and everything you need as long as you can carry it or bring a wheeled shopping cart. Best coffee I ever had at Shuk Cafe. Fresh fish, meats, vegetables and fruit, candy assortments, baked goods, souvenirs, loud and noisy real authentic marketplace.
Esti G — Google review
One of the best markets I have been to in Israel. Extremely clean, and the place sells such a huge variety of items (fresh fruits, dried fruits, fish, sweets such as halva and baklava). There are many food options in or around the market, so it is a good place to grab some lunch or a bite if you are hungry. Definitely a good place to buy some Israeli snacks home
Nahshon — Google review
I learned about this market from friends who went and took a culinary tour here. I saw several of those tours and people looked like they were really enjoying it. I walked around on my own and it took a few hours. There are loads of fruit and vegetable stands, halvah stores, olives, spices, candy, a few Judaic stores, cell phone stores, meat and fish stands, places for gifts and loads of restaurants. It’s a great place to shop.

It houses an extensive collection that spans from prehistoric artifacts to modern art, including the famous Dead Sea Scrolls.

This is a must destination you can't afford to miss during your stay in Jerusalem. A detail visit will take a full day. You could check many antiquits out according to different history period of Jerusalem. The main difference between Tower of David and here is that many exclusive antitiquits are in display. The Tower of David, on the other hand, is mainly fous on history narrative.
Chiang J — Google review
This was the most impressive museum we have ever been to! We enjoyed it so much we went twice during our time in Jerusalem! Thinking we were just going to see important Israeli artifacts, we were extremely surprised to see archaeological remains from around the world, painting a picture of the evolution of civilization. There were also Jewish displays of life and art, modern and contemporary art from around the world, and the most amazing outdoor display of a replica of Jerusalem’s Old City during the time of The Second Temple. The biggest treat were The Dead Sea Scrolls, which I did not know much about until seeing this exhibit. Excellent collection!

Lovely museum. Highly recommend. I would recommend the museum provide more details for the artifact descriptions and better directions on how to navigate the exhibits as we double backed and got lost a few times.

It was very educational. Raining outside and roof was leaking along the walls when you walk in. You can spend all day here if you’re really into archaeology and history.
Mark T — Google review
This was a highlight of our trip. It's a huge museum with lots of various exhibits with various themes and overall, it's very well done. It is very big though, and directions to certain exhibits weren't as clear as we'd hope so we did waste some time looking around for things as it's not labeled well. With that said, there's a lot to see and learn about. The must see is the Shrine of the Book where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran. There are a lot of archaeological artifacts all throughout this massive place and so getting here early in the day is advised so you can see as much as you want without having to rush. When we were there, they had replicas of various old synagogues from different corners of the world and it was very interesting. I could ramble on and on about everything there is to do there, but it's forever changing, so when you know you're going to the area, look up what they have showing and head to those exhibits first. Based on the fact that there's so much to take in and exhibits that change often, this is definitely a place you can come to several times. There's a beautiful gift shop at the exit (of course) and I can't really speak to parking much as we took a taxi there and back, but definitely be sure not to miss out on a visit here when you're in Jerusalem.

I can't believe I have lived in Israel for 27 years and it took me this long to visit this incredible museum. I felt connected to the powerful history of this important city in a way that I never had before. I needed more time to explore than I realized that I would and I will return soon.

I visited this place with friends, you should prepare yourself very well emotionally and spiritually, it's not like any museum, the way it design is really unique and the narrative meanwhile the diversity of the contents,the way they present in the same time the politics aspects. I hope this place will be more open to accepting people from different perspectives and religions. The location of this place is provocative for some people and neighbors, that's what I heard.

Outstanding. A must see if you come to Israel. The museum has a terrific, modern architecture with plenty of significance. The displays are in chronological order. I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust and found out I knew very little. The displays are super powerful.

Absolutely fascinating place. You'll need a booking reservation. This can be completed on arrival, but entry could be delayed. Bags aren't permitted. Free lockers are available downstairs. There is more to the place than you may think. Be sure you have plenty of time. It's definitely worth the time.

A must visit museum for every person on the planet. The horrible history our not that distant ancestors experienced must not be forgotten and learned in the near and distant future. The visit takes around two hours and includes lots of exhibits, interview with survivors ands lots of interesting reading materials. The building itself is very impressive and the view in the end is mesmerizing. Note that you must have a green pass to enter.

Very informative and attractive museum to understand the WWII and how Jew were killed by Nazi. It’s a sad history showing the loss of humanity in the era of wartime. We need to learn from the history. Need to go the Children Memorial as you will be impressed.

A highly emotional experience. The exhibition is finely thought-out and presented, fully encapsulating the reasons, results and outcome of the Holocaust. The complex also includes several memorials set around the park. Admittance is free, so there is no reason that precludes the curious visitor of visiting the museum. A must-visit when you’re in Jerusalem.

An important place to visit in Israel cause it makes u aware and always reminded of history’s horror during the most unforgettable tragedy in history the Holocaust! U cant take pics here in respect for those men women n children who perished... it was a sad visit n just quietly looking n reading thru stories of what seems like from horror movies of suffering n deaths but there was also stories of courage n strength of faith n hope... my unforgettable visit was short cuz i was alone n late coming ... i only took pics outside the bldg. i would like to visit again n even go to the library... im not a jew but forever loves Israel n the Jewish people!.. much respect n prayers to all victims of this horrific crime n the their families.. may their memories forever be a blessing!.. 🙏

National park
Nature & Parks
Ramat Gan National Park is a sprawling green space surrounding an artificial lake, offering a picturesque setting with diverse flora and fauna. The park features a natural history museum, zoo with safari tours, and an amphitheater for various activities. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views of the park's ponds filled with water lilies while spotting gazelles roaming freely among palm trees. With playgrounds, outdoor library, hammocks, and large exercise equipment areas available, it's an ideal destination for families.
Such a remarkable park, completely isolated from the noisy city. If you haven't visited yet, you definitely should! Once you get there - you can, of course, enjoy a picnic, or dine in one of the great coffee places scattered around the pond. Ps- free parking for Ramat Gan residents

Ramat Gan National Park ... It is a beautiful city park with an artificial lake and surrounded by many trees, plants and flowers. The park has so much to offer. Green spaces, a lake with wildlife such as geese and ducks, several on site restaurants, ice cream shop, several playgrounds and an amazing new splash park, that turns into a audio-visual sensation, in a beautiful show of lights and water. It is surrounding an artificial lake scattered with trees and banchs to relax on. There is a ship-like building in the lake that stands empty for many years, they really should open a restaurant there.. There is a waterfall that works in the afternoon and evening that has lights on it to color the water.Highly recommended to visit once’s a month 🫰🏻🫰🏻

Beautiful, big park Lake with ducks, amphitheater, playgrounds, outdoor library, hammocks, large exercise equipment area, lots of grass, trees, walking path, bicycle path, cafe, deck for folk dancing and other activities, and more. Really lovely place. Unfortunately most parking is paid parking.

Probably the best park in the Central District. This is a huge park with a lathe pond at the middle that hosts a very large amount of different animals (mostly birds). The park is extremely grooms, with it's own private crew that keeps this charming place. You can do lots here, there's a big space for children play equipment, vast lawns for picnic, the biggest outdoor gym if you fancy some exercise and even an amazing eucalyptus trees interactive boulevard that tell the story of Israel best known composer “Nehomi Shemer” please keep this amazing place clean and don't feed the animals.

A big park in the city, a grat place where you can take w walk or just relax by the pond in the shadow and watch ducks an other birds. There is also an herbal garden where they encourage you to pick some herbs to take home. Nice place for children and for adults.

Another pleasant green zone in the city. Lots of animals, birds, ducks at the pond. Bicycle ways and stops. A small beach zone with sand, deck chairs and showers. Nice place for chilling. The latest light and flowers festival was amazing!

Wildlife and safari park
Nature & Parks
Located just 30 minutes from Dan Tel Aviv, the Ramat Gan Safari offers a unique safari and zoo experience in the heart of the city. Spanning over 250 acres, it provides ample space for animals to roam in a natural habitat. Visitors can drive through open-air exhibits or take a safari bus to see savanna animals up close. The park also features live shows, guided tours on open-air vehicles, and a zoo area with a diverse collection of furry and feathery friends.
Really nice place that we visit frequently. The wild animals part is really nice when it's not hot and the animals are active. The zoo part is also nice when it's not too crowded. Many exhibitions have been renovated in the last few years, and they are now more modern and let you watch the animals from closer range. Feeding times are always good to watch. Don't come on holidays since it's way too crowded.

Our recent visit to the safari with my daughter was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the excitement was palpable. Seeing the animals up close in such spacious, natural habitats was truly a highlight. We were particularly captivated by the playful monkeys and the majestic giraffes. My daughter's face lit up with every new discovery, and it was wonderful to share such a memorable experience with her. The entire park was well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We're already planning our next trip back!

Our second visit — and definitely not the last! We now bring all our guests here and will keep doing so. The experience is truly unique: even though you’re technically inside the city, with buildings visible on the horizon, it genuinely feels like driving through the African savannah — surrounded by rhinos, zebras, antelopes, and many other animals. A fantastic place, highly recommended!
Igor F — Google review
They have discounts for Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv residents! Besides that, this place is full of emotions that cute animals can share with you. I love giraffes, zebras, orangutans, and night foxes. The 90 years old giant grandma-turtle is happy to blink you with an aye slowly. You can watch an orangutan TV show series live. Penguins are cooling down and eating fish. It's fascinating. And the animals are taken care of very well. Be aware that the lions’ site closes at 3 PM.

Great outdoor activity for adults and kids, plenty of parking, dont miss the safari car ride through the local savanna where you can see rhinos, hippopotamus, zebras, antilopes, and lions. Later you park your car and walk through the park to see all the animals in their compounds, chickens run free all over the park so ita nice for toddlers. There are 4 asian and 2 african elephants, 4 jiraffs, 2 persian leopards, 1 bear, lots of kengeroes and monkeys and all kind of animals. It was pretty clean and well maintained, the prices at the kiosks were fair, 5 shekels for an popsicle.

The place is not maintained as one would of expected. The entire zoo is full of rats, even in the bears' cage!!! The ponds in the animals' cages are so filthy that it is difficult to see the bottom of the pond. Moreover, the crocodile's surrounding is very dirty, filled with trash and plastic bottles. Also, we hardly saw the lions because they were far away and their yard is surrounded by an electric wire that prevents them from approaching the cars. It was a fun experience for the kids, they enjoyed it. However, very disappointing...

A great attraction for kids and grown-ups. With magnificent animals and places to sit and eat and drink something. Not a lot of shadows in the walking area, but a lot of sitting zones with enough shadow. If going with kids it's recommended to arrive with a stroller or other vehicle for them because of the long distances walking for them.
Itzik R — Google review
So many impressions! The park is well fit to the environment, real feeling of being in a jungle We spent around 4 hours here, and I think it's an adventure for a whole day What Is important for us - animals are well cared and the company is working on ecological projects of breeding endangered species. Definitely will come back

The Israel Childrens Museum

Children's museum

Specialty Museums
The Israel Children's Museum, established in 2001, offers a unique and interactive experience for kids. With hands-on exhibitions and activities, children can learn through storytelling, imagination, and sharing. The museum features guided exhibits that provide educational and social opportunities for visitors of all ages. From workshops tailored to different age groups to immersive experiences like the 'Invitation to Silence' program, this museum offers a diverse range of activities that cater to both kids and adults.
Great, unique workshops for kids, for each age range there's a different coarse. Great place to take the kids - innovative, immersive, and interactive. They have "paths" with different themes for various age groups, including adults. The experiences are extensive, (2 hours the beatles one), so don't expect action all the time, but you and the kids will have great moments. Great opportunity to understand how a blind person feels. Really have an appreciation for what they go through. Dialogue in the dark is an amazing experience. Inspirational and unique.

We went to the tour of the deaf. Incredible, engaging experience. Very much recommended for both kids and adults. Amazing staff! Our guide Dorit couldn’t have been more from the heart.
Ata M — Google review
Came as a family of 4 to enjoy an exhibition together and was told that babies aren't allowed. Not in strollers, not in carriers. Apparently it is written online but It seems a bit odd to me that a children's museum would discriminate against the youngest of children... anyways, I'm sitting here with the baby for an hour while my husband and son go through the exhibit.
Daniela M — Google review
Amazing concept! The museum isn’t just for kids — it’s built around interactive experiences like “Dialogue in the Dark” and “Invitation to Silence.” These tours are powerful and eye-opening, showing what life is like for people with visual or hearing impairments. It’s educational, emotional, and incredibly memorable. Highly recommend for families and adults alike.

It’s not a museum! It’s a venue for short performances/workshops. To call it a museum is so misleading. Also, the cafe is not a cafe! It’s a shop for junk food and candy. Disappointing
