Top-13 places in Israel for families with children

'02.10.2015' Source: Home Subscribe to ForumDaily on Google News

In Israel, the inhuman August heat has ended and autumn has begun - a blessed time with ideal weather. Below are 13 great tips from Linor Goralik's Kids' Guide to Israel.

1. Biblical zoo

Once upon a time, the Jerusalemites decided to create a zoo, where all the animals, even once mentioned in the Bible, will gather.

At first, this zoo was very small and was located in the center of Jerusalem, on Rav Kuk Street. And now it is huge and stands in the Malha valley, in the middle of a beautiful garden with hills, streams, flowering trees and its own little train.

More than 2200 animals live here: from elephants to lemurs, from mountain goats to lions, from small green monkeys to huge pythons.

Some animals can be stroked and fed - you will be allowed to stand among the living lemurs and touch the snake.

In Haifa and Tel Aviv, there are also zoos (in Tel Aviv even a safari park), but this, with lemurs and biblical, is only one.

2. The Dead Sea

We do not know a child who would not like to be smeared with mud from head to toe, but at least she is useful on the Dead Sea. Well, lie on the water, more like a warm liquid glycerin - priceless.

If, on the way, you still put the child on a live camel, and after sunset you go to look at the stars, happiness will be ensured for the whole day.

By the way, in fact, the Dead Sea is no sea at all: it is surrounded by land on all sides, so it would be better to call it a “lake”. And if you take in a glass of water from this sea, a third of the glass will occupy the salt dissolved in water.

3. Old Port Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv port served as a port for a very short time - the water was too shallow on the local coast. Therefore, the last 50 years, he stood abandoned. And only recently, Tel Aviv residents decided to turn the old port into a place of recreation and entertainment, a real city in the city.

Among other things, in the middle of the port there is a huge platform that looks as if the sea waves were covered with a smooth tree.

People come here to roller skate, skateboards, bicycles and scooters. And next door is the famous Vanilla ice cream parlor selling 47 ice cream varieties.

4. Children's capital

Not far from Tel Aviv there is a small town Holon. It is considered the children's capital of Israel - so much has been built here, made and invented specifically for children.

The Children's Museum has a gallery of toys. And a science gallery. There is an exhibition taking place in complete darkness. And the exhibition, held in complete silence.

In Holon, they say that their museum is the only one where all the exhibits are placed at the level of children's eyes. And in Holon there is the largest Israeli children's theater, and some performances can be perfectly watched, not knowing Hebrew.

If suddenly the museum and the theater did not convince you, in Holon there is a huge marine water park “Yamit”, where there is a SPA for adults, and crazy water slides, pools and tunnels for children. And the Museum of cartoons and cartoons.

5. Railway Museum

In Haifa, there is an excellent railway museum: cars, trains, locomotives, and everything connected with them.

You can pull all the knobs and press all the buttons in the cab of the 120-year-old locomotive. You can aim in the air from a real combat machine gun sticking out of a concreted army military car in the embrasure. You can wave the scepter - no, not the one that the kings, but much more useful. You can switch the secret lever at the traffic light and see what happens.

And if you take water and fruit with you, you can have the strangest picnic in the world in the train of an old train.

6. Madatek

Brilliant Museum of Science, located right in the middle of Haifa.

In the museum, as many as twenty exhibitions made up of six hundred gizmos, and each can be twisted, twitched, made to sound or glow, and on some ride a horse.

Right next to the museum is the Science Park - this is such an amusement park for the most intelligent.

You can try to set fire to the Roman trireme according to the method of Archimedes or to study the da Vinci laws, using improvised objects above human height.

7. Safed Cheese

If the child does not agree to go to Safed to walk along the streets, stairs, ancient synagogues and very fresh art galleries, lure him to the old cheese factory.

The Meiri family has been cooking Xfat cheese there for years and folds it into small straw baskets. On the tour they will show you exactly how the cheese is made - and they will give it a good taste.

8. Berries and milk

Have you ever tried to milk a cow? Here it is. Under the strict guidance of specialists, you (and your child) will be able to do it near the moshav of Beit Hillel.

And not far from the village of Odem on the Golan Heights, you can pick out strawberries, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, pomegranates and dates - and carry everything you have collected.

9. Night tour

You can go at night with an excursion to the fortress of Nimrod (in the north) or to the ancient city of Tamar (in the south). Unless, of course, you and your kids love to wander at night.

10. Desert forest

The last thing you expect is to see a forest in the middle of the desert, but in the Negev there is a huge forest of four million trees. They grow Jerusalem pines, oaks and cypresses.

He did not grow by himself - the Israelis planted him specifically, and the trees in the forest are added every year. In the forest there are special tourist paths.

11. Underwater world

In the southern city of Eilat there is a dolphin reef, where you can swim guess with whom.

And there is an aquarium there - you can watch how sharks, poisonous toads, anacondas and piranhas are fed, watch deep-sea luminous creatures and even book a tour on a glass bottom boat or on a yellow submarine going under water to 60 meters.

12. Crater ramon

Every decent country has its own Grand Canyon. He is also in Israel, he is called the “Ramon crater”.

If you are standing at the top, it seems that someone cut the rocks like a cake: they can see colored layers along which the history of the earth can be read like the history of a tree in circles on the cut of the trunk.

13. Terrible and terrible

In a place called Rosh ha-Nikra there are deep grottoes filled with water. They can go down there - it's beautiful, but a bit creepy.

And in the small village of Talma Elazar, the most courageous can try massage with snakes on themselves.

Snakes crawl freely over the patient, wrapped around it and twisted - not everyone likes that, but the experience is unforgettable.
