The Ultimate Family-Friendly Activities to do in Israel
So, if you want to do something super interesting in Israel other than visiting all the famous historical landmarks and making your typical tourism trip. Here are several activities for all the family, keeping your children entertained and interested in your trip:
Jerusalem Biblical Zoo
One of Israel’s top family-friendly attractions is the 62-acre Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, situated in the city’s southern part.
The park is surrounded by lush nature, has a large artificial lake, and is filled with free-roaming wildlife.
One of the attractions at the Biblical Zoo is a train that circles the property and stops at various locations so guests can tour the whole place.
Over 170 species of animals coexist in the park, many of which are referenced in the Hebrew Bible. It also has a petting zoo, play area, playground, and many hands-on and engaging activities for younger children.
Superland& The Island
If you want something that’s outside the box and for all ages, these are your best options:
Superland
Travel for 30 minutes outside Tel Aviv to Superland. This amusement park includes thrilling roller coasters, fun carousels and Ferris wheels, and a variety of carnival-style activities for both young and young-at-heart visitors.
While you take a magical swan boat ride on the river or bungee jump from a pirate ship, ignore the silly Tel Aviv residents who claim that everything you need is in the White City.
The Island
The Island is a theme park on the roof of Azrieli Mall for kids between the ages of 4 and 12.
It’s a fantastic alternative to spending another day at the beach because it has water attractions like a large pool, water slides, and fountains.
On The Island, you can find a trampoline, a survival ropes course, climbing walls, video games, an electric train, a haunted tunnel, and other entertaining features.
While your kids are on the roller coaster, jumping, climbing, dancing, or on the water slides, you can unwind in the pool area while keeping an eye on your kids.
Timna Park
Timna Park, located in the Negev Desert close to the city of Eilat in the south, offers a breathtaking view of the area’s geological past.
Timna Park’s 15,000 acres are situated in a valley that is in the shape of a horseshoe. Families are invited to explore this desert park and enjoy sights like the world’s first copper mine and a lake in the middle of the desert!
Families can take the Timna Park and Desert Agriculture Tour from Eilat to enjoy an all-inclusive park tour that offers the chance to create sand art, and sample recently picked vegetables from a desert greenhouse.
Naama Farm
A trip to the Naama Farm in Western Negev is a beautiful opportunity for families with young children to spend the day outside and interact with animals.
The Naama Farm is one of Israel’s biggest goat and sheep farming operations, providing the majority of the goat and sheep milk consumed in the nation.
Families can walk through the stables and interact with the animals, feeding baby goats, and milking lambs, among other activities.
Additionally, the farm offers a variety of classes where kids may learn how goat cheese is created and participate in other arts and crafts projects.
