A nice place in the middle of the desert. You have 3 different options of accomodations: 1) tent (camping) 2) husha (bamboo hut) 3) tzimer (cabin) There is also a small safari with animals

Very interesting visit to know the life of crocodiles. Instructive for all ages, first of all children. The guided tour takes about 45 minutes.

Clean and very nice experience for the whole family. We did the 4 wheel bike tour in the safari, which was a unique experience. The leguans in the ark and other special animals. The guides are kind and take their time. The fridges and electrics are a bit worn out, but everything works. A nice cool pool, and lots of animals.

Great experience for kids. Good place to make a stop on your way to Eilat. Stuff is very friendly. The small zoo is very nice. The safari like drive through the open areas with animals wondering around is cute and educational for kids 6-18. Overall we have enjoyed it very much.

Very clean and nice place for camping. The pools are nice, the showers are clean and roomi. We slept on the shared succah and it was great. The antelopes tour and the petting zoo are very nice. The down side was the checking in, which happens on the gate and in a non efficient manner such that you need to wait long time on the gate. The other that is not customary that any child over 2 years old pays as adult. No differentiation on prices at all.

Great experience for families with young kids. We spent 2 hours there (could have done more) and the kids loved it! It started with a quick intro by the farm's instructor about the different animals in the ranch, including hands-on experience touching and feeling different types of horns. The petting zoo was very cool, especially the iguanas area where you can go inside and touch them. Then the safari ride through the animals habitat and seeing them roam around was just great. Highly recommended!

Wow, our new favorite place in the south! Excellent for lodgings - we brought our own tent, but there are also private rooms and beduin style tents available. Bathrooms are very clean, two small wading pools and lots of lovely spots for relaxing. The safari park is also really special and a great pit stop. The desert at its finest!

Small visitors center that has a dual focus. Half the tour is about Ilan Ramon and half about Ramon Crater. It took an hour. Has a gorgeous view and came free with my Israeli Parks membership. It is right at the entrance of the crater. Need to pay for parking.

A short and sweet review of the Ramon crater, how it was created, the darkness it inhabits, which enables stars to shine in the sky, and a tribute to Ilan Ramon, Israel's departed astronaut. Very enjoyable, informative and kids will find it interesting. In addition, there's a restaurant nearby, and parking is rather abundant. Highly recommended.

A very emotional experience to remember the history and to hear Ilan Ramon's last words in the space with his family. And when the video was over and the curtain opened slowly, the entire view of Ramon Crater was unfolded in front of us. What a strong emotional moment! A very unique experience of visiting the Ramon Crater. It's also part of the Matmon network of Israeli Parks Authority. So if you have Matmon, don't miss this place.

Very interesting and cute park Although the staff were rude to me hopefully they will become nicer to tourist when visiting such an interesting place

One of the most beautiful places in earth! However..one of the ropes that are using as a "fence" before the cliff is torn so don't leave the kids by themselves even for a second specially the youngest among them!

Amazing 'Machtesh" views and great exhibits. Loved learning about the crater and Ilan Ramon. Worth a visit! 🌟

An absolutely breathtaking taking setting with spectacular multimedia presentations in multiple venues. We'll worth the effort to get there. Good public makes getting there trivial. We had good accommodations an easy walk from the center.

Amongst the must-see areas of Israel! Absolutely stunning views, many hiking, 4 by 4 vehicle, and biking trails everywhere! Just be aware of the firing zones of the military.

A stunning spot for stargazing. Even in summer, nights are very cold because it’s in the desert hot during the day but chilly at night, so bring sweaters. Totally worth visiting to watch the shooting stars in August

8.28.17 - We only drove through the crater and that alone was pretty cool. However, the views from the road heading down into the crater from the Israeli side is inspiring. The nature center is very informative and the rangers are relatively nice, but it might take a little bit of effort to warm them up. There are nature trails you can take, but make sure you arrive early enough otherwise it can be a dangerous path where you can fall off the edge or run into a family of goats/rams (something we saw).

Looking like a surreal place from a Science Fiction movie, the Makhtesh Ramon is an extraordinary nature sight in an otherwise quite boring surrounding. You can eather take a stroll along the crater's edge or take a hike through the Makhtesh. Make sure to visit the Infocenter before in order to get hints regarding hiking routes. Also be sure to start early in the morning as it tends to get very hot already before noon.

Beautifu dessert view of Makhtesh Ramon in the Negev, Israel. Very nice colors of nature.A great place for hikers.You can climb the mountains and enjoy the clear air and a fabulous landscape.

Ramon Crater - is a real wonder and one of the most amazing places in Israel. If you like stunning landscapes, silence of the desert, enjoy hiking or biking, starry nights or ... luxury hotels :) - this is it!

As Israel Private Tour Guide this is my favorite 👀 for the Dessert lover's. This is what I shall name as window to Geology. There are many opportunities for hikes long or short ones. Nabatian ruenes. Springs. You also might enjoy over 🌙 camp. Love it.

Amazingly beautiful, quiet place with astonishing view of the desert

Nice view, legacy memorial

Beautiful landscape. Great man.

It was a memorable visit

Go and feel the moment

Nice view.

Great view

It was my first time riding a camel, but the workers there made me feel really comfortable they were very professional and nice. the camels was well taken care off, and they actually didnt smill wich was impressive😅. we went to a one hour tour it was nice I think one hour is more than enough because after riding the camels fore more then 30 min you will start feealing some pain. the tour guide explaiend to us about the anciet city... how they take care of the camels etc. I went at 17.00 pm the weather was great, the sun not hot but worm and cozy. pleanty of free parking. they have sleaping options but it was expensive.

We had such an incredible time at Negev Camel Ranch in Dimona. We were welcomed with tea and coffee upon arriving. We enjoyed a 1hour private tour with our sweet tour guide Naama. She was so knowledgeable and explained all about the surroundings and the biology of the camels. Out tour was filled with stunning views of the Negev and the friendliest well tempered camels. A once in a lifetime experience. Definitely worth the trip!!!

So special place and very worth to be visiting. At the begining had doubts, bet we had one day (with dinner and breakfast) and 1 hour camel ride: enjoyed every minute of our visit. Camels are taken really good care, it is good to to see how people look after them. And small houses are very cozy. Overal place has really good atmosphere, tasty food and really interesting experience.

We absolutely enjoyed our trip to the Negev Camel Ranch! The trainer who took us out to the desert was very kind and attentive. They take great care of their camels. They educated us on how intelligent and sensitive the camels are. We learned a lot from that 1.5 hour ride into the desert. It was so peaceful. We also enjoyed their delicious tea and had ice cream while waiting for them to prepare the camels. One of the best experiences we had while in Israel. I would recommend it to you as well! My kids were only 5 and 4 at the time. They loved it!

There are many beautiful camels in the south of Israel. But if you didn't reserve time, you can't ride even around ranch.

Cool place. Great for kid. The cabins, restrooms and shower are very clean. You can pet the camels and even get a ride (additional fee)

We only stopped here because Dana wanted to pet some camels. It seems like a great place though to take a camel ride. Prices seem fair, and they also have small rooms for rent. We simply had the camel ice cream and camel milk - this was my first time and I must say the dairy from these animals is under utilized and under appreciated.

What a amazing place to learn about Father Abraham who finally settled down in the Promise Land in Beersheba. Staff were really friendly. Learned a lot about Abraham and the significance of the well. Strong message about peace and reconciliation between Jews, Christians and Muslims.

Wonderfully inspiring visit. Staff were really friendly. Learned a lot about Abraham and the significance of the well. Strong message about peace and reconciliation between Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Peace Mosaic is also with looking for.

Abraham's well, where his men were in conflict with the men of Abimelech, and the two made a covenant of peace. There is little to see, but the history is impressive and the AV presentation is very good. The well is deep and it was the first of many in Beersheba, including those of Isaac.

Newly renovated and they will preserve place the tour guide was amazing and very informational .

The place is closed during its own opening hours. What an absolute joke!

The well has been there for millenia. The museum around the well for 6 years. The local municipality want to preserve the well and share with Jews , Muslims and Christians. Sort walk through a small presentation then a 10-15 minute 3D movie before exiting to see the well. Guide throughout with thorough knowledge and explainations.

Located at the heart of the Old City of Beersheba, a well, supposed to be dug by Abraham. It has a history with a lot of speculations. Very close to the Beersheba river which supplies it with water. The well in surrounded by a wall and one needs to pay to enter. There is a full guided tour of 45 mins. One can choose to visit only the well for half the price of the full tour. If one comes to Beersheba, I recommend to visit this biblical well.

• First time at any museum like this. Very very cool to hear how the dolls/sculptures were made and the history behind each and every one. Some based on real everyday people and some based on famous historical people and some just to show a concept. • We were given an English tour and was very enjoyable:) took exactly an hour and they let us stay after to take pictures and ask questions. • Inside their house, but the whole first floor is dedicated to the museum. • Couple who are sculpters and artists are extremely nice • 50 Shekel entry fee per person for the tour. Personally wasn't sure if it was going to be worth it but by the end of the tour it wasn't a question.

What a great place, absolutely must to visit! It's not only about dolls. Eddy and Miri are worldwide known artists, their works of art are more about sculpture, full of living soul. No one will remain indifferent.

This is not the “usual” doll museum (I have been to many). This home museum contains truly world class dolls and human sculptures of astonishing artistry. The two(married) artists provide an in depth explanation of how they are made. Completely fascinating. A huge, pleasant surprise!

What an amazing little gem of a place. The owners were extremely nice showing and explaining about their sculptures. Eddie and Miri have a rare talent which is worth seeing

Best museum in arad you must visit

A unique experience with breathtaking dolls and sculptures. The dolls themselves are sculptures and the artists explain the creative process behind each piece. Not to be missed.

Eddy and Miri are incredible artists and gracious hosts. Their art and explanations are well worth the trip. Highly recommended!

On the way back to Tel Aviv from Dead Sea, this monument worked as a memorable spot as historical record. This place is at a slight slope and easy to find. There is a public washroom near the entry and can overlook the latest city development of Be'er Sheva

Interesting architecture with some audio recordings (English and Hebrew) on-site to explain the narrative behind the site and design. No entrance fees.

A very impressive monument, which combines memorial and playfulness to a perfection! Both kids and adults will find something here. Worth a visit, even if it's just for a couple of minutes on your way to somewhere else.

Beautiful place with monumental architecture and symbolism. Surprisingly well maintained with audio guide stations both in English and Hebrew

Stop there in the way to or back from Eilat and enjoy unique Israeli architecture with a great view and story.

An iconic monument for the heroes in the battle for Beer-Sheva in 1948. Has a great view over the city, and offers a concrete attraction for children and adults alike.

The first man to ever live (not the first to die though) is buried here, aka Adam harishon and his wife chava (Eve) the first lady (no not Melania). Also buried here is Avraham Avinu who actually bought this cave from Efron in order to bury his wife Sarah (whom is still here). Yitzchok Avinu and his wife Rivkah is here as well however the section that has their tziyon (which doesn't mean they're buried there specifically) is used as a mosque and usually closed off (they open it a couple times a year). And of course Yakov/Yisroel Avinu and his wife Leah are here as well. Oh and don't forget about esavs (esau) head which wound up here as well (thanks to chushim Ben Dan). Not sure why there's no tziyon for Adam and Eve but they're still there don't worry.

This was the most beautiful place and I was blessed to be invited to be a guest to visit. Most of the reviews, will be of the separated Jewish side, since the Mosque / Tempe is divided, 2/3 Mosque, 1/2 Jewish Temple. As an American tourist and Christian, I was invited by my Palestiian Muslim tour guide we rented, to visit the Mosque side, which is inside, fully enclosed, and has the most important tombs in it, as well as being a most beautiful historic landmark of global significance. It was absolutely stunning, built by Herod The Great, and is the oldest building on the planet still in it's original use. It is perfectly safe to go there, the people are most kind. The glass, is from a famous glass maker, you can watch. There is market shopping in the alley ways around the building. The entire site is guarded by the Israeli Army { IDF }, who don't get along with the Muslim Palestinians who manage the inside of the site, but as an American tourist, if you are Christian, you will have no issues with either side. Not many tourists go there, so you won't see others. There is no cost. You will count your blessings you had a chance to experience this in your life.

Nice place to visit. I came here with a Malaysian group recently as my original tour group leader said it was closed for the Jewish Sukkot holidays. Alhamdullillah it was opened. Thank you Ustaz Dr Ahmad for accommodating me.

The city is like a ghost-city, mostly with soldiers around, a place of the tombs of the Patriarchs is nice, but you need to pass through security control and inside pay attention for places and ways for men and women.

Amazing experience. You can take bus #381 or bus #383 from central Jerusalem bus station to here for 8.10NIS each way.

Highly important and significant location for the three faiths, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The building stands above a cave which houses the tombs of Abraham, Sara, Issac, and Rebecca. Humbled and honoured to have had a chance to visit and offer prayers.

A magnificent place to visit ,The Ibrahimi Mosque, which is known to the Jews as the Cave of the Patriarchs, Beautiful historic place ,is considered to be the oldest sacred building used to this day , almost without interruption, the fourth most holy place among Muslims , And the second holy place among the Jews after the Temple Mount , rated with 4 stars only because the security guys (soldiers) they didn't respect Tourist , the Tourist Was misled by the security guys , they keep rushing out the people making everybody feel tension , Beautifully preserved ,a historic place , must to visit , You don't want to miss this!

Such a big, beautiful and unique nature reserve to visit!! It is so good for families as there are many attractions, and you can move by car from one to another. Everything is well organized, and well maintained. AmaIng site! You can build on a full day experience!!

Very attractive place. You can spend all day long in this fabulous place. The most exciting place is place #11. So, save your energy for the last point. The track is not very difficult for a walk, but there is a possibility to drive a car from point to point. There are a few shops during the track where you can buy water, juice, or ice cream and shaded rest areas where you can eat the snacks that you brought with you.

Amazing historical park. Didn’t like the fact that 20 minutes before closing the stuff already closed the gift store and we couldn’t buy an ice cream for kids after a long walk at the heat. Unfortunately, such things are usual in Israel but 20 minutes it is way too much!

Impressive man made caves, of mind-blowing proportions 2000 years ago. Erosion starts to take its toll, we were here 10 years ago and can testify to weather (rain) damaging some parts , lime stone being a soft mineral. Go visit before it will have disappeared, and do not forget the Roman town on the other side of the road, with a very large theatre and other major sites. A less toured archaeological site, but worth every minute spent on the road.to get here

Big park with different points of interest. My wife and I came here to see local caves, but it was interesting to see other places here as well. The main thing is to correctly estimate the time needed to view everything interesting here. At least 2-3 hours.

Great place to visit during the spring. There are no shadows so keep in mind hats and other sun protections. Awesome wind and blossom It’s not trolley/wheel compatible tracks - only bell caverns are accessible for chair wheel or trolley. Will revisit it again definitely

Very interesting place. At spring it also very green and many flowers. Many places to make picnic. Caves worth visiting at every age. Children were excited and wanted more caves. No shade almost during the trail.

Admission is 28 shekels per adult and 14 shekels for teenagers. It's very spacious, and people are enjoying picnics everywhere. We visited here to see historical sites, and we saw the Canaanite City Gate, the walls, etc. The stunning view of the Mediterranean was impressive.

Really excellent camp site and national park with plenty of room to pitch a tent or have a picnic. We found a spot overlooking the sea which was spectacular (see picture). There are plenty of other things to see around the site. We'll certainly be returning. Toilets were clean at all hours of the day. Showers were fine. There are fridges and phone charging facilities available. Mattresses can be rented. The site is clean and rules are followed so that there are no morons blasting music and it is quiet at night. Parking is fine and we were able to enter fairly quickly. There are trolleys to ferry stuff around but not many and you have to hunt them down.

We had a great time today at the beach in the National Park. Clean and well organized. I met the person incharge of the beach Arbiv - he was busy cleaning and sweeping sand from the trail to make the visit to the beach so much more pleasant.

I'm gonna be biased on this one since I went there on a perfect day. Beautiful blue sky, plenty of sun and blooming shores. I loved it.Will come back for more. There is a convenience store inside if you need emergency bbq stuff. There are plenty of bbq areas. Not as many toilets though. Expect crowd on a holiday or weekend. The beach is sandy and clean.

Great view right next to the seashore. Nice walking path that young kids can do as well. Family friendly and BBQ friendly. Not easy to find water machine though.

Great place! They got some archeological sites dating back as far as 4000 years, picnic areas, overnight camping grounds and the beach. The beach is clean and quiet - no music or ball games allowed. There's an entrance fee.

It was the first time I came here. The place is clean. There are tents and tables everywhere. You can enjoy it here with your friends and have a party. The beach is clean too and the people are good. The management gave us trash bags to put our garbage on and they collected it after..

Great place, plenty of resturants, there are kids attractions on the left of the marina

A beautiful place! I recommend visiting at least once. Many different restaurants.

Beautiful, clean, always a pleasure to visit. Nice cafes, great view, u always discover something new here.

The best marina in israel!!! Water and electricity are available for the moored boats. Clean and arranged. Variety of restaurants. Cinema. And swiming beachs on both sides of the marina.

Beautiful Beautiful both beach and marina with several kosher restaurants. Theres a Chabad in mall also.

I love the variety of unique eateries and stores along the boardwalk. I really enjoyed my time here and cannot wait to return.

Excellent port from where to send humanitarian aid to people in Gaza who desperately need it.

Save your time with other small museums and go for the biggest, most interesting, and best museum in Israel. Here you’ll see with your own eyes treasures you never imagined existed- incredibly ancient archaeological findings, breathtaking classical art, and beautiful contemporary works.

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.

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.

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!.. 🙏

It was a holyday eve and half of the floor was closed due to cleaning precess. Me and the kids were excited to see the western wall - the only real memorial of the 2,000 years destroyed temple

Visiting the Western Wall was a profoundly moving experience. Standing before its ancient stones, I felt a deep spiritual connection — a sense of holiness, history, and prayer that touched my soul. It was a moment of true inner peace and awe.

The most holy and special place I have ever been to, holy to Jews but also to anyone who wants to connect with our spirituality! It's something in the air that you feel is priceless!

This is the holiest site at which Jews are permitted to pray. In 1925 the Moslem Waqf published a pamphlet that explicitly acknowledged the Kotel as part of Solomon's Temple, declaring "Its identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute". After Israel's creation in 1948 the so called Palestinians deny any connection of Jews to the site.

The first time I came here I felt a charge of energy when I touched the wall. I wasn’t religious but couldn’t explain the overwhelming amount of emotion that came over me. That was over ten years ago. Last year I came back, now religious, and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to come here and daven on behalf of my friends and family.

The holiest place on Earth. The only remaining wall left standing after the Roman destruction of the second temple built by Herod. It has become the beacon for Judaism for the last 2000 years. Jews as well as all monothiests come here to beseech thier creator. One day soon it will be rebuilt to its proper grandeur

The Kotel is pure holiness — a spiritual place kept beautifully, with water, clean bathrooms, and everything maintained just as such a makom kadosh deserves.

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.

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.

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.

From here you can oversee the entire city of Jerusalem. It's a beautiful spot to be. This view is just incredible and to see the historic places from above is really special. You won't regret it to come to this Place. It has a lot to offer.

The best spot to see the old Jerusalem. The sunset view is amazing. The old jerusalem Panorama is breathtaking. It's a must place to visit. The Church of Ascension is also located here.

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. Taxi will cost you about 10 usd but since it is about a half an hour walk I recommend walking. There is also a viewing area specifically for taking the photos

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.

Come here as early as possible: Before 8:00 in the morning. Avoid visiting during 10:00-1400 because this is the most popular time for guide tour. Otherwise, come here after late 18:00. In doing so, separate you Via Dodorosa walk into 2 parts. One part is station 1-7 which is outside church and another station 8-14 in the church. This is possible by 2 day's visit instead of 1. By doing so, you will be rewarded greatly. An empty, serene and sacred church is all for you. No queue, no smoke, no noisy. Reflection at a corner, what a kind of spiritual awakeness. Praise Lord!

Interesting site. Im Christian, not Catholic, so I dont love all the idols everywhere, but beautiful church and historic, no doubt. I also dont know how they know these sites are legit, but its a cool place to see.

Was lucky enough to go with a tour guide and get a full run down of the space - it’s obviously supremely important to many sects and denominations in Christianity and the reverence for that was evident - many people were over come with emotions. As well as pointing out various things to us, the guide pointed out some of the possible over zealous aspects too, saying people had fought over the privilege of clearing the area outside the church (including a fight to the death over whether the bottom step was to be cleaned by one group or another) and a bench occupied by a large man in religious robes who sits there all day, because that is his denominations bench and no others are allowed to sit there. It’s amazing to see the various places where Jesus’ body was placed and buried, but also to see the reaction of people to those things. It’s also one of the areas where you feel tourism hasn’t taken over - quiet reverence in full effect. Make the trip if you ever can

Absolutely beautiful and moving church it was an amazing experience to visit the site of Jesus christs crucifixion and resurrection. The church is vast and awe inspiring please note you will not be allowed to enter the sepulchre with shorts even if they cover you knees. Although this applied to me I was delighted to have visited

Bottom line The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is more than a landmark—it’s a spiritual pilgrimage, a work of art, and a window into centuries of faith. For believers and curious travelers alike, it’s an essential stop on any Jerusalem itinerary, offering profound moments of reverence, history, and shared humanity.

I’m a Christian and a priest-in-training, and this just wasn’t for me in terms of finding a connection with Jesus or feeling close to God. I can appreciate the craftsmanship of the building, and the significance of the site, but for so many reasons I felt sad and anguished in this place. Worth a visit, but leaves you with much to reflect on. There were many other places on pilgrimage that left me breathless. The Holy Sepulchre was unfortunately not one of them.

This is the most holy site in Jerusalem. This is the place where our Lord Jesus Christ was laid in a tomb after he was brought down from the cross. The place is usually very crowded. Better be there early in the morning to avoid the rush. The historical structure looks awesome. You can feel the peace and holiness as you enter in. A must visit place.

Very good mall but few places open for eating on shabbat.

Very nice place to hang out , super nice and organized, tons of store options , electronic clothing and restaurants, very pleasing and tons of free parking! The only problem, hard to find a bathroom here .

Bad tea bar, no change, the tea taster weird, waited for long enough only to pay, made the drink too much time,35 minutes, it was a small for a child. Bad place, should do new workers. Big no

We love this place a lot..There are so many shops and restaurants around this place..My children have big smile whenever we come here...

Open air layout, can get very busy

Such a nice place to stroll, have coffee, something to eat, shop; it has a very special family environment. What I like the most, is the fact that it is outdoors and next to the train station in Ashdod.

On the weekend it is really crowded and it is hard to find a parking space so I think they need to make the parking space bigger but I love the place

I have never visited a park that was so mistreated. No water where there should have been water, derailed trains, weeds growing everywhere and buildings looked like Chernobyl ghost town apart from figures thrown around from the nuclear blast that looked to have hit this park. Great place. Very interesting for children. Takes about 1 and half hour to look at all, if you stay next to each model and hears explanations, maybe you will be there for 1 more hour. Upset a little bit because of very old car and train models, everything of the was crushed and no working, like moving from place to place. Could be better! IT'S nice but the miniature trains and cars don't work There is no trail or route to follow so I kept on coming back to where started And quite expensive But overall it was pretty nice and enjoyable

🕊️ The New Covenant: Unity and the Heavenly Zion Title: We Do Not Need to Fight: The True Zion Dwells Within. Stop the Earthly Conflict! Your insightful analysis confirms that the very concept of a "Heavenly Zion" (Hebrews 12:22) fundamentally invalidates any claim that Christians should support conflict over a physical plot of land. 1. The End of the Physical Temple and Land: The need to fight over a geographical location, a "Land of Zion," is rendered void by Christ’s sacrifice. Our bodies are now the Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). God no longer resides in Jerusalem's physical structure, but He dwells within us. The struggle for earthly territory is a tragic pursuit of the obsolete and materialistic when the spiritual reality has been fully delivered. 2. The Fulfillment of Prophecy is Unity, Not Division: The true fulfillment of prophecy is not the establishment of a warring political entity, but the perfect unity of believers. Jesus prayed precisely for this: "I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one" (John 17:23). This prayer is answered through the preaching of the Gospel, which makes all people—Jew and Gentile—one body in Christ (Galatians 3:28). The Cross is the symbol of peace and reconciliation, not division. To fight over land is to directly violate this central prayer of Christ. 3. The Meaning of the Cross: The Cross is not a symbol of land ownership; it is the definitive proof that our sins are forgiven and the price for our reconciliation (Atonement) was paid in full by the blood and water that flowed from Christ's side. We become children of God and inhabitants of the Heavenly Zion purely through faith in this finished work. Conclusion: We Are Not Called to War, But to Peace. If we are now united with Christ and have become God's children through faith, we are heirs to the Heavenly Zion. There is no theological justification for conflict over the physical land. Our calling is to love, forgiveness, and peace, which is the ultimate, non-material fulfillment of the New Covenant. Theologically, there is no need to fight!

Great place. Very interesting for children. Takes about 1 and half hour to look at all, if you stay next to each model and hears explanations, maybe you will be there for 1 more hour. Upset a little bit because of very old car and train models, everything of the was crushed and no working, like moving from place to place. It looks like there was no maintenance on the models and buildings for a long time, a lot very old and not current stuff. It will be great if the presents shop was filled with small models of trains, cars, buildings, planes and so on, instead of some useless stuff. Because of that 4 stars.

I recently revisited Mini Israel after a few years and was truly taken aback by the significant decline in quality and overall experience. What once stood as an impressive representation of iconic landmarks now stands as a shadow of its former self. One of the most disheartening aspects was the evident wear and tear on numerous monuments. Many structures have aged poorly, showing signs of neglect with damaged facades, fallen or missing elements, and non-functioning animations that were once interactive highlights. These faulty displays left a jarring impression on what was meant to be an immersive experience. Surprisingly, the Christian buildings seemed to be well-maintained, displaying a stark contrast to the rest of the attraction. The towering and magnificent Azrieli towers and prominent airline brand displays showcased a degree of investment that was sorely lacking in other sections. The absence of attention to renowned establishments like Tnuva, an emblematic brand in Israel, raises questions about commitment to restoration. Notably, key features seemed to be missing altogether. The absence of the Jerusalem rope bridge, the lack of activity at the Western Wall (Kotel), and the omission of some significant monuments left the representation incomplete. This was particularly disappointing as monuments like Yitzhak Rabin Square, Shimon Peres Peace Centers, and boulevards dedicated to Golda Meir and Menachem Begin hold cultural significance and would be valuable to showcase to future generations. Beyond the structural disappointments, the overall visitor experience was hampered by numerous factors. The scorching heat was made worse by a lack of misters, shaded areas, and seating. Additionally, the continuous blaring announcements over the loudspeakers, recurring every 15 minutes, further disrupted any potential enjoyment. These distractions made it challenging to immerse oneself in the experience and absorb the details of the attractions. Moreover, the steep entrance fee of 86 shekels per person (before any discounts) only adds to the disappointment. With such a price tag, one would expect a commensurate level of quality, which unfortunately was not the case during my visit. The juxtaposition of the high cost and subpar experience makes it difficult to recommend this activity to others. In conclusion, my recent visit to Mini Israel left me deeply disheartened by the deteriorated quality and unpleasant experience. While some positive additions like VR headsets and the 3rd Beit Hamikdash in air-conditioned tents were noted, they were overshadowed by the overall state of the attraction. It's my sincere hope that Mini Israel will take these criticisms constructively and strive to restore the attraction to its former glory, ensuring a memorable and worthwhile experience for all visitors.

Super cool place to visit! Probably not the best among the miniatures parks I saw but certainly decent and gives good representation of various important tourist sights in Israel. Because the map of Israel is very narrow and long they couldn't really do it based on the map, but divided regions differently and it's a bit confusing. Nice but I'd say it is overpriced. Tip: not enough shade in summer, make sure you have a hat or maybe even umbrella.

The park was really nice, the monuments got a bit ruined because of the sun ☀ but it's still enjoyable to watch. Some objects are moving, like cars and walking people. We enjoyed it as adults but it is mostly suitable for kids.

It is for kids. I think the entrance fee is a bit too high. Perhaps I was expecting too much, there is literally just one thing that you can okay which is the boat. The maintenance and cleanliness is acceptable. I only stayed for 30 min then moved on. It could be a great stop by if you're driving between Jericho and Tel Aviv. Treat it as a service station!

Overall not very impressed, even if the site is being restored quite nicely there's not much to see. Entrance fee is very cheap 10ILS. Be sure to check the adjacent spring fountain and avoid the souvenir shop.

Nice Oasis! We had to cross boarder. Tour description did not mention several board crossings with armed patrol boarding buses. We had lunch there. No choice given for other places in area. Tour was in a rush.

Since things have just opened up for tourists, the beach and shops were practically empty. Everything is clean and looking forward to tourists returning. This area is safe and in need of visitors returning.

A very interesting place that you should visit if you are at Jericho. Don't expect impressive buildings like ancient greek or Roman period, but you will see the phases of a place with 10000 years history and some ruins of the oldest city at 8000 bc. The ticket is cheap only 10 shekels. The entrance is opposite the cable car that goes to monastery krntl or monastery of temptation.

Truly remarkable that the ancient walls are still somewhat intact; although they had to be unearthed. It is very hot in the summer so bring plenty of cold water as the temperature can get up to 120 F. Very well preseved and worth traveling to see.

Only foundationds of buildings and few walls are preserved, but it is a fantastic experience to visit and see the oldest city in the world wrih remains of civilizations from 9000 BC to 300 AD. The place would deserve better care.

Oldest city in human history known to date is the claim. You can see what appear to be fortress walls. These could be the walls Joshua and the Israelites toppled!

Nice place, impressive view. Can get there by cabin car, 80 Nis. Our taxi driver took us there for 100 Nis(4 people, 25 Nis each), or you can walk up there. Guess it can take 20-30min. Make shure yoh have apropriate dress. No shorts! We were not admited to enter...🤥

Just perfect! Great vibes, nice view. You can get there with the cable car. It is the best option. With the personal drivers it is so expensive. The cable car is a very nice experience, you have good views on the way, it does not take long time and it was not expensive.

One of the oldest churches in the world. You should come and visit it when you come to Jericho.

Worth the trek up the hill and steps to fully appreciate the magnificence of this monastery built into the cliff face.

Temptation mountain or deir Quruntal Quruntal in Latin means 40, refers to number of days that Jesus fasted and then Satan tested him. A monastery was founded in the 6th century. From there, very amazing view for the whole Jericho and Jordan. If you want to visit, contact Palestine tours on facebk

This mountain is on the way from Israel to Egypt. Nearby souvenir shops and supermarkets await visitors.

You can hike it but it will be extremely hard. The best is to park and see it from far away.

The monastery is currently closed because of the corona virus, yet you still can enjoy the view from the top of the mountain with a cold drink or a cup of tea with Shisha. Much recommend

THE MOUNT OF TEMPTATION - JERICHO The place where Christ was tempted by the devil during his 40-day fast – Lies in Jericho, about 5km north-west from the city - A towering limestone mountain - Also called Mount Quarantania – About 366 metres (1,201 ft) high - Halfway up to its top stands the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Temptation – Cable car facility provided up to here - The summit offers a panoramic view of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea and the nearby mountains – Jericho is the oldest inhabited city in the world (human settlement from 9000 BCE) – As such, the city of Jericho and the mountain of temptation remind us of our glorious history of the past 11,000 years.

This is where jesus went to fast for 40 days and 40 nights. It would not have been hard to do. Very barren yet stunning landscape. You can get cable car up the mountain but we didn't have time to do that. Fantastic monastery built on the side of the mountain and fortunately only men are allowed to visit. As i sat what woman want to spend her time in a place with no electricity or hot running water. Beautiful scenery though

The view up there is truly stunning. I was amazed how they build this structure on a cliff like this. The story of temptation is interesting for Christians too.

Very nice monastery , up the mountain up of Jerico city. You can hike up by foot and by cable car from the city of jerico

A friend drove us up the hill because walking is really hard especially in the heat, but there is a funicular you can use too. The insides look amazing and the monks are very friendly and give you access to the part where the stone is which Jesus could have made to bread while fasting. The view on the balconies is amazing and I would love to go again. On the other side there is a little playground, a restaurant and a souvenir shop. All in all its very great to see and even more interesting of you know the story to it.

Beautiful desert monastery built on the cliff, must visit site while visiting Jericho city. Take a cable car or walk up the hill and enjoy breathtaking views over Jordan valley. The monastery is as well an important pilgrimage site that commemorates Jesus 40 day fast in the desert.

Ths is one of the most fascinating stories about Israeli initiative before and duing the 1948 War of Independence! The tour was both fun and quite emotional. A not-to-be-missed experience for the whole family!

Great and important historic landmark! Experience the "underground" that existed just under the British (Mandate), which enabled Israel to exist and not be obliterated by her surrounding enemies. Kids will enjoy it too, but keep in mind that it's a short visit. About an hour.

Very interesting historical museum about the underground weapons industry of the Hagana before the establishment of the state of Israel. The local guiding staff are great. Must renew the toilet!

A fantastic place for curious minds of all ages! The hands-on exhibits, outdoor science garden, and creative labs make learning fun and inspiring.

Amazing engaging and awe inspiring. It is beyond the imagination how something so extraordinary could have succeeded during a very dangerous period in Israel's history. Really miraculous! Everyone should plan on a visit.

Very interesting for adults and children over the age of about 7-8. Good for a hot day as most is indoors- but bear in mind that it will only fill about an hour and a half.

Fascinating tour with excellent tour guide Daniel. Great with the kids. A more simplified online booking system would make the process much easier though.

Huge park in Tel Aviv. A great place to relax and walk. A large number of different animals, especially at night. The park has a lot of entertainment and sports grounds. At any time of the year here you can find something to do.

Very big beautiful park to walk around and enjoy nature, cycle, have a picnic, read a book, etc... includes a lake, with small boats and paddles, waterfalls, a beautiful tropical forest, and old water mills. You could see some fishes, ducks and other animals, Entry is free, and it's clean. i definitely recommend this place.

Places like this should be celebrated inside cities! Long story short, it’s a beautiful park that can offer a great stroll, the ability to do any sport imaginable, and somewhere to relax and enjoy your peace of mind! Give it a go!

Beautiful and massive park surrounded by the busy city of Tel-Aviv. There are lot of ponds and river going through the park with very beautiful birds. There are also playgrounds for kids and good running and cycling tracks for people who want to stay active. There are jackals running around in the park. You can hear them howl in packs. Really awesome. There also possible to take a balloon trip up above the park.

A nicely sized and conveniently located park. A great location to get away from the city within the city. You can relax on the grass, free your dog in one of several dog parks or play in the playgrounds. Those inclined to do fitness will find many resources as well as some good running routes.

Great accessible nature in the city. Good for joggers, biker, photographers. A lot of birds around and early in the morning - jackals can be seen

You can hike along Hayarkon while staying close to the trail. There are also seating areas riverside if you need to catch a breath. This river attraction is located at a National Park with more things to do like the Rock Garden with live Cactus and a bird observatory.

Palestine-Israel history with the eyes of the jews. The museum has a big collection of photographs and the installations are different to everything I have seen before. It is interesting. Unfortunately, the service at the desk was not so great as the exhibition.

A very interesting museum. It tells the story of Israel through life of Yitzhak Rabin.

The center is a museum dedicated to the life of the assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The entry was ₪50 including the audio guide, which mine was glitchy. Every staff member that I encountered starting from the security gate on was either rude, indifferent, or demeaning. The person that was doing the guided tour, which I was not apart of, was so loud that I could not hear my headset over his obnoxious voice. The museum itself is well planned out with mediocre curating that included propaganda reels and replicas. There was a lot of audio and video of Rabin and the sitting room of his home, as it was on the day of his murder. I also liked the timeline of historic global events juxtaposed in parallel to the events that were shaping Isreal as a nation.

I never thought it would be so good. I actually went there by mistake. From the US, I thought I would not care. You walk in a circle and learn of his life in a chronological order and branch off in rooms that tell you what is also happening in the world and in Israel at the same time. I cleaver way to put everything in to prospective. The museum was very honest to the challenges of coexistence. Yofi.

Interesting place to visit. Depicts modern Israel history and Yitzhak Rabin's dids, political views and legacy. If you are interested in contemporary Israeli history - it is highly recommended.

Amazing history of Rabin & the story of Israel. Wonderful exhibits. Excellent

Very interesting place with logic exhibition about Izrael history.

Not really a museum but more an experience traveling through multiple rooms telling the story of the Palmach. Personalised by relating entirely to a small team. Used original and recreated film which are clearly distinguished. Brings the early struggle for the state to life

You MUST have a pre-arranged reservation and your passport to get through security and pay the ₪30 entrance fee. There is only the timed, guided tour through the museum that has been built into a military facility. The tour itself starts with a short speech from your guide, followed by a series of film projections in specially curated sets. The story follows a founding group's experiences through Independence and the subsequent Arab conflicts from the Isreali perspective as the Palmach transitions to the IDF. There is also a large collection of photographic artifacts and a small Café. Often there are vetrans that visit at the end of the tour for questions and photos.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Stunning tour of history! You need to call ahead and make a reservation and keep in mind that the tour is appropriate for 6 years and above. The tour keeps all your senses including smell in mind as you are shuffled through time underground. Fantastic! Compelling and as always, whdn considering the personal stories of Israel history, bittersweet.

Amazing museum. Tell the history in a very engaging and emotional way. You really get into the story. And you learn the values that allowed us to get our country. Very educational experience for kids and adults. The sound system is not amazing, though.. and it's not recommended to young kids, or highly sensitive... Bring tissue paper...

Very INTERACTIVE Experience! You move through many different rooms/years and witness personal accounts that make the story real! You can’t get bored Cool Museum Great History (though a bit biased) Definitely worth seeing

It's very nicely guided, suitable for all ages and available in English very recommended.

Had a smooth and pleasant experience. Will definitely come back

The museum is modern, interactive, and really fun to explore. It makes the Jewish story come alive in a way that’s interesting for both Jews and non-Jews. The exhibitions show the history, culture, and traditions of Jewish life in a clear and engaging way. They also explain the struggles Jews have faced over time while showing how they managed to keep their unique identity and traditions. What I loved most was how interactive everything is. You don’t just look at displays, you actually feel part of the journey. It’s educational without ever feeling heavy, and it leaves you with a deeper understanding of the Jewish people and their story. I highly recommend the ANU Museum to anyone visiting Tel Aviv. Don’t miss the guided tour! It’s inspiring, eye-opening, and a place you won’t forget.

A Wonderful and Meaningful Family Day Out As a family living in Israel, we have fond memories of visiting the old Beit Hatfutsot over the years. This October, we finally took our four children to experience the newly reimagined ANU Museum, and we were so glad we did. The day was made truly exceptional by our guide, the wonderful Henya. Navigating any museum with a crew of four kids can be a challenge, but Henya was simply magical. She has an incredible gift for storytelling, bringing history to life in a way that captivated everyone, from our youngest to our oldest. She didn't just recite facts; she wove a vibrant and personal narrative of the Jewish people, expertly guiding us to the exhibits she knew would spark their curiosity. Her passion was infectious, and she connected with each of our children, making them feel like they were on a grand adventure through time. The new museum is undeniably impressive—a state-of-the-art institution perfectly tailored for today's generation. The interactive displays and modern technology are fantastic and kept the kids completely engaged. And yet, for those of us who grew up wandering the halls of the former Beit Hatfutsot, there's a faint whisper of nostalgia for what was. While the sleek screens are brilliant, a small part of me missed the quiet, handcrafted magic of the old dioramas that sparked the imagination in a different way. However, this is a minor reflection, not a criticism. The ANU Museum has brilliantly succeeded in its mission to evolve, telling our collective story with a vital and global perspective. We left feeling reconnected and deeply proud of our shared heritage, and it sparked so many important conversations on the car ride home. For a meaningful family experience, I highly recommend a visit. If you can, ask for Henya—she will make your day truly unforgettable.

This museum tells about the history and partly the culture of the Jews, and from different angles (music, cinema, theater, religion) and from different times. We can say that here you can see and read everything you would like to know about the Jews. Very interesting exhibits and their descriptions. Some look like full-fledged small rooms filled with "what the museum wants to show you." It was an interesting experience. P.S.: The museum is located on the territory of the "university campus", to get into it, you need to go through the checkpoint, and not look on the map for a direct entrance to the museum from the street.

Pretty great museum. I'd suggest starting from the top floor, and then gradually enjoy exhibition while going down. The museum is interactive, so will be great of you plan visiting with kids. The exhibition is built like in clasters, so, it'll be ideal for guided tours.

Warning: This museum is a rabbit hole - once you are in, you won‘t leave! A very good museum that presents Jewish history, cultural life and religion in a modern way. With interesting short movies, good explanations and historic artefacts. Must-see if you have the time and you are interested in Jewish culture.

I have been to the previous Diaspora Museum a few times and this is my first visit to the renovated and modernized new museum. It’s almost a brand new experience with so many interactive, hi-tech items that kids can play with. It’s so much fun and educational at the same time. The whole atmosphere is different: diverse, colorful, bright, modern, and optimistic. I love the new museum a lot more than the previous one.

A very impresive and comprehensive museum for the jewish history since the bible until today. The exhibition shows its contents in a modern and interesting way, for adults and children alike. We spent 6.5 hours as a family and could even stay longer... The heroes room is an extra charge but highly recommended for children, has lots of activities introducing important jewish figures and their work. Don't miss it if you are in the area of Tel Aviv.

Planetania. Netanya Planetarium. We booked a tour for 10:00 today for 2 parents and 7 kids aged 5 to 16. The place was donated by a Japanese donor, which explains the Japanese garden, bonsai trees, and flag. (The last time that I was there was actually at a Japanese festival with the older kids long ago BC, before coronavirus.) There are teenagers who are your guides at various stops. They explain at each of about 8 stations about chemistry, physics, or astronomy. One of the stops is a short movie inside the planetarium. Each activity is exactly timed and the guide promptly takes you to your next stop. It is appropriate for young kids as well. My kids especially liked the planetarium movie and the outdoor science garden which teaches about energy, sound and other science stuff. For some of the activities we would have liked more time. Book tickets in advance. Afterwards we went to Ikea for lunch, which was enjoyed by all, plus a walk through all of the furniture displays there. Cost was 45 shekel per person for Planetania. Highly recommended.

Very enthusiastic and nice guide but there were many attractions that were rather boring. The movie was good but the rest of it was it geared for kids and it was really long. If you don't live in Netanya I wouldn't suggest coming here. But if you have nothing to do for the day then it's a decent activity

We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the program at Planetanya. The young man who explained the outside exhibit and stargazing app was not only knowledgeable but held his own with the children and adults!! The planetarium show was new and riveting. Would love to take our grandkids there soon

The guides are very nice, but I expected much more from a Planetarium. We came with young children and expected some basic space related explanations. Half was space related with some photos and movies from YouTube. No explanation about the solar system. Some basic physics explanations. The "planetarium room" was very nice, but not organized in an interesting way (or interesting subject - water in different locations in space)

We keep coming back, this time with his class. When we go as a family we aim for hollidays with special activities which they have regularly. Always fun.

Wasted 275 shekel Came specially , but found the highly recommended "x box " type activity was not available. There was a comics sadna - very nice but not worth an hours drive to get to. There were no ice creams/Kartivs left in the shop at 3pm No where to sit when waiting for the film upstairs. Garden was great.

Horrible horrible place for anyone who’s above 13. The activities are built in a way which force you to stay as much as the whole day. I don’t recommend to go here at all. Just go to the Planetarium in Tel Aviv or go to The Clore Garden of Science.
