How long to allowAbout 1 hour including seating and the show AgesEntry from age 5 and up; the content suits about 9+ Indoor or outdoorIndoor On Shabbat and chagimClosed Best time to goAny weekday slot — it is fully indoors and air-conditioned, which makes it a good midday stop in a Jerusalem summer. AccessibilityThe hall has 104 seats, of which 98 move and 6 are fixed; visitors with heart conditions or back problems, pregnant women and anyone prone to dizziness are asked to use the fixed seats. Entry is not permitted for people with epilepsy because of the strong projection and sound effects.

Insider tips

English screenings must be arranged by phone on 02-6248381 - you cannot book them through the website.
Booking online saves ₪9 a head (₪49 instead of ₪58).
Turn up 15 minutes early; the show starts on the dot and latecomers lose their seats.
Ask for one of the 6 fixed seats if you are pregnant or have a bad back; entry is barred for people with epilepsy.
The human-body show is Hebrew-only and needs its own separate ticket.
