There are many wonderful places in Israel that will satisfy both adults and children. In addition, given the small area of ​​the country, you can visit different parts of it in a short period of time.

Where to go in Israel with a child and what to see?

The weather in the winter months in Israel is varied. It depends on the location of the point you are traveling to.

For example, in the north of the country on the slopes of Mount Hermon at this time there may be snow. Here on ski resort fun skiing, sledding, snowboarding awaits you. Fun for everyone - from accompanying grandparents to the smallest.

Beach holiday opportunities in Israel in February

It is unlikely that you will be able to splash at this time in one of the four seas, whose waters wash Israel. These are the Red, Mediterranean, Dead and Galilee Seas (the latter is the Kinneret Lake with fresh water).

The weather is generally comfortable: + 15 ... + 21 degrees, although it often rains in February. But the water is still cold for a beach holiday. In the Mediterranean Sea (Tel Aviv), the water temperature is up to +18 degrees, and few people dare to swim in the cool Mediterranean waters.

In the Dead Sea, the water is slightly warmer: + 18 ... + 20 degrees. And the warmest at this time is the Red Sea (in the resort of Eilat): +22 degrees.

Well, you won't be able to soak up the beach. But on the other hand, such a moderate and not hot temperature is a great opportunity to devote time to excursions and visit many interesting places.

In the holy places of Israel with children

It is impossible to visit Israel and not visit Jerusalem. Do not be afraid that the child will not understand or will not be interested. Guided tour of the tunnels to Wailing Wall is unlikely to leave a child indifferent. The impressions received will be remembered for many years.

Jerusalem - oldest city the world. Part of it, the so-called Old city- is the center of Judaism and Christianity, these are historical, cultural and religious monuments of different nations: the Jewish Wailing Wall and the Temple Mount, the Christian Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Muslim Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.

Zoos of Israel

There are a lot of zoos in Israel. Moreover, their peculiarity is that the animals live in them practically in natural conditions. Well, children really like to observe and communicate with animals. And visiting zoos is guaranteed to bring them pleasure and joy.

On the eastern outskirts of Tel Aviv, on a vast territory (more than 100 hectares), is located Zoological Center Safari in Ramat Gan.

This is a kind of African savannah. Animals live in huge enclosures, and the illusion of free communication with wild lions, giraffes, leopards is created.

Moving around the park in a special vehicle or in your own car, you can make amazing journey into the world of animals and birds, visit educational lessons for children. Here, in the park, you can relax on numerous playgrounds and attractions.

And this is not the only entertainment in the park. Here you can have a lot of fun with children on the Splash water attraction, take healthy baths in thermal springs and swimming pools.

This zoo, which is located in the southwest of Jerusalem, has collected more than 200 species of animals that have lived in the land of Israel since Biblical times, among which there are many rare and endangered.

It is always crowded here. Picturesque nature, waterfalls, a lake, lawns, comfortable walking paths without stairs make this park an attractive place for families with children.

Park Ha-Kofim - monkey nursery

In the Middle East, a park of this kind is perhaps the only one and it is located not far from Jerusalem in the Ben Shemen forest.

The park very realistically reproduces the atmosphere of the jungle and rainforest. Many monkeys (over 100 species) live almost naturally in open enclosures.

There are so many interesting places in Israel and, of course, it is impossible to visit all places in one trip. But if you manage to visit Gan Guru Australian Animal Park, Red Sea Oceanarium(Eilat), nature reserve "Ein Gedi"(near the Dead Sea) - it will be wonderful and informative.

Israel museums and other attractions

What to do if you want to see everything, but your children do not have enough time or physical stamina for this?

In this case, a visit to a very original museum will help you out. "Mini Israel".

This is an open-air country museum, which contains all the outstanding monuments of Israel. Moreover, these exhibits are presented on a scale of 1:25. The country lives in this mini-world with its own life: planes take off from mini-airports, mini-ships are loaded in the port, trains leave from railway stations, and all this is inhabited by miniature figures of people.

Interesting for children - Tank museumin Latrun located between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Striking in diversity military equipment, mostly trophy.

This is one of the few museums in the world in which exhibits (various fruits and vegetables, fairy-tale characters and even famous actors and politicians) are made from marzipan (a mixture of powdered sugar with almond flour).

Here, under the guidance of experienced mentors, children can create marzipan figures with their own hands and even take part in a competition for the best marzipan composition.

Walk the narrow streets of Jaffa, the oldest city in Israel, or the ancient Roman ruins in Caesarea National Park, visit the delightful gardens surrounding the Bahai Temple in friendly and tolerant Haifa or National Park and Preserve Ein Gedi in the Judean Desert, the missing pieces will be added to the mosaic picture of the many-sided and diverse Israel.

If you get tired of sights and museums, you can just go with your children to attractions or water parks.

The most famous: in Tel Aviv - Lunapark, Superland in Rishon LeZion,Aquapark "Shvaim".

• If there is no clearly defined plan and a sightseeing trip, it is best to stay in Tel Aviv. Excursions on all routes depart from here.
• If you are traveling on your own, experienced travelers advise buying excursions locally in Israel. Since it's cheaper.

Madatek Museum in Haifa - interesting place for the little tourist. You can interact with all devices and touch everything with your hands. Try on yourself how alternative energy sources work. Sun, mechanical, windmills, thermal energy sources. You can sit on your bike and pedal. A road in the form of a rail with a traffic light and a train starts moving when a child pedals on a bicycle. The train starts to go faster, the lamps flash. But as soon as he stops everything freezes. This shows the baby the "magical" power of energy. If you go outside, you can see how the sun revolves around the Earth. A little explorer can feel like a real sun, taking his place. To implement the model of the rotation of the sun around the Earth, a small cabin is used, where a tourist is seated, and he looks at the process of rotation of the Earth around him. Children will love to start the helicopter using the pedals. The operation of the helicopter can be felt a few minutes after the start of pedaling.

Entrance ticket: 70 NIS
