Mahane Yehuda Market Culinary Tour (Smart Tour) אתרים היסטוריים וסיורים · Mahane Yehuda / City Centre A guided culinary walk through the alleys of Mahane Yehuda, Jerusalem's central food market, led by a chef who mixes the market's history with tastings at its most distinctive stalls. Run by Smart Tour, which also operates the city's bike and EZ-Raider tours. Avoid Friday lunchtime unless you want the pre-Shabbat crush; Sunday to Wednesday mornings are far easier. Mount of Olives Observation Point אתרים היסטוריים וסיורים · Mount of Olives (Har HaZeitim) The classic panorama of Jerusalem: an open terrace above the Old City looking across to the Temple Mount, the Kidron Valley and the Armon HaNatziv ridge, set above the Mount of Olives Jewish cemetery, reputedly the oldest burial ground still in use anywhere. Come early morning: the sun is behind you and the Old City lights up.

למדריך העסקים Haas Promenade פארקים וטבע · Armon HaNatziv / East Talpiot The southern lookout over Jerusalem from the Armon HaNatziv ridge, with the Old City, the Dome of the Rock, the Mount of Olives and Mount Scopus laid out in front of you. Haas is the middle of three linked promenades that run for about 2.5 km. The Haas, Sherover and Goldman promenades link up into roughly 2.5 km of continuous walking. Nahal Katlav פארקים וטבע · Nes Harim (Jerusalem hills) A wooded valley in the Judean hills near Nes Harim, inside the Nahal Sorek nature reserve. Its scenic trail — about 2 km, formerly the Schuster Trail — is one of the shadiest and most manageable real hikes near Jerusalem for young children; the longer loop past the Dir a-Shekh ruins is steeper and rockier. Take the scenic trail (Shvil Nofi Nahal Katlav), not the full Dir a-Shekh loop, if you have small children. Gazelle Valley Park פארקים וטבע · Givat Mordechai / Katamonim A 260-dunam urban nature reserve in the middle of Jerusalem with a free-roaming herd of mountain gazelles, a lake, bird hides and a flat paved circuit. Entry is free and no booking is needed. No dogs are allowed anywhere in the park. Sacher Park פארקים וטבע · Rehavia / Nachlaot / Givat Ram Jerusalem's largest green space, running between Nachlaot and Rehavia and the government and museum precinct at Givat Ram. It has the city's biggest lawns, a large modern playground, sports courts, an exercise park and a bike path. Picnics are fine anywhere; barbecuing is only allowed in the designated areas, which have coal-disposal bins. Sataf פארקים וטבע · Jerusalem hills, near Ein Kerem A KKL-JNF site on the slopes above Nahal Sorek where ancient hillside farming has been restored: stone terraces, fruit trees, irrigation channels and two spring tunnels, Ein Sataf and Ein Bikura. Entry and parking are free, and a new visitor centre with a bakery-café opened in 2025. The Village Track runs about 2 km down to the lower car park; the Dryland Farming Track is about 3 km and linear. מתאים במיוחד עכשיו Teddy Park פארקים וטבע · Mamilla / Yemin Moshe A small park below Jaffa Gate whose centrepiece is a computer-controlled fountain of 256 water jets and 1,800 light fittings that runs free sound-and-light shows several times a day. Children play in the jets between shows. Daytime shows run at 11:00, 13:00, 15:00 and 17:00 (water only); the 20:00 show adds lights and music. Ein Lavan פארקים וטבע · Refaim Valley, below Ein Kerem A spring in the Refaim Stream National Park on the western edge of Jerusalem, named for the white rock around it, with a built pool about 4 by 8 metres for swimming and a shallower one for wading. The walk in from the car park is short and easy. There are two pools: a deeper one for swimming and a shallow one for wading. Wohl Rose Garden פארקים וטבע · Givat Ram Israel's largest rose park, opposite the Knesset and below the Supreme Court, with some 15,000 rose bushes in more than 400 varieties, many of them gifts from other countries, plus lawns, a pond and a waterfall. Over 400 rose varieties are labelled with the country that donated them — half the interest is in reading them. Yad Kennedy פארקים וטבע · Mount Aminadav (Jerusalem hills) A memorial to John F. Kennedy on Mount Aminadav, shaped like a felled tree stump ringed by 51 columns, set in Aminadav Forest with picnic areas, hiking trails and cycling tracks. The monument is currently closed for renovation, but the forest around it stays open. The monument is closed for renovation — check before going if the structure itself is the reason for your trip. Jerusalem Botanical Gardens פארקים וטבע · Nayot / Givat Ram A 150-dunam university garden below Givat Ram laid out by world region, with a lake, a tropical greenhouse and a children's discovery trail. It is one of the few ticketed attractions in Jerusalem open on Shabbat. Jerusalem children under 18 get in free with a parent — bring proof of address. Liberty Bell Park פארקים וטבע · Talbiyeh / German Colony A large central park stretching from the German Colony up to Talbiyeh, built in 1976 around a replica of Philadelphia's Liberty Bell. It has playgrounds, a climbable dragon sculpture, basketball courts, a roller-skating rink, the Train Theatre and Jerusalem's main skate park. The Train Theatre inside the park runs puppet shows — check its own programme and book ahead. גן חיות ואטרקציות בעלי חיים

Gottesman Family Israel Aquarium גן חיות ואטרקציות בעלי חיים · Malha Israel's national aquarium, run by the Biblical Zoo, presents the country's four marine habitats — Mediterranean, Red Sea, Sea of Galilee and Dead Sea — in a modern indoor building beside the zoo. Entry is by timed slot. Book a time slot online — walk-up entry is not guaranteed. Jerusalem Biblical Zoo גן חיות ואטרקציות בעלי חיים · Malha Jerusalem's zoo, in a wooded valley below Malha, keeps animals named in the Bible alongside a wide international collection, spread around a lake and a hillside of large open enclosures.

Jerusalem Bird Observatory גן חיות ואטרקציות בעלי חיים · Givat Ram A small bird ringing station and nature reserve run by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, tucked between the Knesset and Sacher Park.

Omri Ranch גן חיות ואטרקציות בעלי חיים · Ora (Jerusalem hills) A small therapeutic riding farm at the Moshav Ora junction, just outside Jerusalem, offering Western riding lessons for children and adults, pony rides and a covered petting corner with rabbits, parrots and hamsters. Everything is by prior arrangement; call or email Omri.ranch@gmail.com before setting out. מים וחופים
למדריך העסקים Beit Hanoar Haivri Pool מים וחופים · Rasco / Herzog A community sports centre on Herzog Street with an indoor pool, gym and saunas that publishes a detailed separate-swimming timetable: men-and-boys and women-and-girls slots through most of the day, with mixed sessions at midday, in the early evening and on Shabbat. Unlike most Jerusalem pools it sells single entries. Buy the ticket or punch card in advance at the office, Sun–Thu 08:00–19:00; there is no entry without a card or electronic tag. Biankini Beach מים וחופים · Dead Sea A Moroccan-themed resort village on the northern Dead Sea near Lido Junction, 25 minutes from Jerusalem, with its own declared bathing beach plus a semi-Olympic freshwater pool, a toddlers' pool, a salt room, a kosher Moroccan restaurant and a synagogue on site. There is a synagogue in the village and the restaurant is kosher — unusual for a Dead Sea beach. Ein Bokek Central Beach מים וחופים · Dead Sea The free public beach in the middle of the Ein Bokek hotel strip at the southern Dead Sea, run by Tamar Regional Council. Lawns, shaded areas, sand, play and fitness equipment, free umbrellas and chairs, showers, changing rooms and toilets, with a promenade, mall and cafés a few steps away. Entry, umbrellas and chairs are free — you only pay for parking. Ein Gedi Nature Reserve מים וחופים · Dead Sea A freshwater oasis of waterfalls and pools in the Judean Desert above the Dead Sea, split into three areas — Wadi David, Wadi Arugot and the En Gedi antiquities with its ancient synagogue. Floods in May 2026 damaged the reserve and access is still limited: Wadi David is open only along the accessible path to the first waterfall, and the Ein Gedi spring and Dodim Cave remain closed. Phone the Parks Authority information line *3639 before you travel — trail closures after the May floods change often. Ein Hemed National Park מים וחופים · Judean Hills A green, shaded valley park ten minutes west of Jerusalem, built around a spring-fed stream with lawns, picnic areas, a walking trail, a playground and a restored Crusader fortress. It is a picnic-and-paddle park rather than a swimming site — the water is a shallow stream and pool, best in late winter and spring when it is running. Come in February–April if you want water — by late summer the stream is low. מתאים במיוחד עכשיו Ein Mabua (Ein Fawwar) מים וחופים · Judean Desert The middle spring of Nahal Prat, reopened to the public on 1 July 2026 after upgrading works. Ein Mabua is a rare karstic pulsing spring: water surges out of an underground cavity in bursts and the square bathing pool empties between beats. There is also a Byzantine church mosaic, ancient aqueducts and the remains of a 1931 British pumping station. Booking is compulsory and free — register before you drive out or you will be turned away. Ein Prat Nature Reserve (Wadi Qelt) מים וחופים · Judean Desert The upper spring of Nahal Prat (Wadi Qelt), twenty-odd minutes from northern Jerusalem, where a year-round stream runs through a desert canyon past bathing pools, ancient aqueducts and the working Faran monastery. The classic short family outing is the walk from Ein Prat down the wadi. Pollution in Nahal Prat has closed trails downstream and banned entry to the water on one stretch — check the Parks Authority site first. Kalia Beach מים וחופים · Dead Sea The closest organised Dead Sea beach to Jerusalem, about 25 minutes away at the northern end of the sea, with mud on the shore, hot showers, changing rooms and a shuttle that runs guests down to the waterline. The ticket is all-inclusive, which makes it simpler than the beaches further south. Bring water shoes — the shoreline is sharp salt crystal, not sand. Metzitzim Beach, Tel Aviv מים וחופים · Tel Aviv The family beach of north Tel Aviv, immediately south of the Port, refurbished into a modern beach while keeping the look that made the 1972 film it is named after. Hot showers, a baby shower, accessible changing rooms and a sheltered bay make it the easiest Tel Aviv beach with small children, and it holds the Blue Flag standard. There is a dedicated baby shower here — rare on Israeli beaches. Navat Yisrael Pool מים וחופים · Shmuel HaNavi Jerusalem's largest fully separate pool, aimed at the haredi public, on Shmuel HaNavi Street. Free swimming, swimming lessons for all ages, water aerobics, hydrotherapy and rehabilitation swimming, plus saunas, showers, a men's mikveh, table tennis and table football. Always call the recorded line 02-6221522 before setting out — the timetable published on the website is out of date and the pool says so. Neve Midbar Beach מים וחופים · Dead Sea A northern Dead Sea beach about 25 minutes from Jerusalem, with mineral mud on the shore, freshwater swimming pools, wide lawns and an air-conditioned kosher restaurant looking out over the sea. It is a declared bathing beach with lifeguards and an entrance fee. Phone ahead for the current entrance price — it is not published online. Nordau Separate Beach, Tel Aviv מים וחופים · Tel Aviv The only beach in Tel Aviv-Yafo set aside for separate bathing for the religious and haredi public, screened from its neighbours by a wooden partition. In the bathing season it is open to women on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and to men on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It holds the international Blue Flag standard. Women swim Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday; men swim Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Yamit Sparc Water Park מים וחופים · Holon Israel's biggest water park, a municipal Holon site spread over 60 dunams with extreme slides, a children's world, a heated covered wave pool and an adults' spa area. It sells dedicated boys-only and girls-only fun days, which makes it usable for families who want separate swimming. The park sells separate boys-only and girls-only fun days — the ticket page links to the dates. טיולי יום מירושלים

Bet Guvrin–Maresha National Park טיולי יום מירושלים · Judean Lowlands A UNESCO World Heritage landscape of man-made caves in the chalk of the Judean lowlands — the vast Bell Caves, the painted Sidonian burial caves, columbaria, olive presses and a Roman amphitheatre — spread over two areas on either side of Route 35. Cool underground even in summer. Take the car between the northern and southern halves — Route 35 splits the park and it is too far to walk in the heat. Caesarea National Park טיולי יום מירושלים · Coast Herod's harbour city on the Mediterranean: a Roman theatre still used for concerts, the promontory palace, the hippodrome, Crusader walls and a harbour full of galleries and restaurants, with a bathing and diving beach attached. The one place that combines serious archaeology with a swim and lunch. Arrive early on Shabbat and holidays: entry is on a space-available basis and the park does fill. Masada National Park טיולי יום מירושלים · Dead Sea Herod's cliff-top palace-fortress and the site of the rebels' last stand against Rome, a UNESCO World Heritage site above the Dead Sea. You can ride the cable car from the eastern side or walk up the Snake Path from the east or the Roman ramp from Arad in the west. Book a time slot online; if your slot is full on arrival you will be asked to show the confirmation to get in. Mini Israel טיולי יום מירושלים · Latrun A park of 350-odd miniature models of the country's landmarks laid out in the shape of a Star of David, next to Latrun about half an hour from Jerusalem. It is one of the few paid attractions in the centre of the country that closes for Shabbat and the festivals. Closed on Shabbat and Jewish festivals — it is a shomer Shabbat park, so plan for Sunday to Friday. Neot Kedumim Biblical Landscape Reserve טיולי יום מירושלים · Modi'in area A 625-acre reconstructed biblical landscape between Modi'in and Ben Shemen, where the plants, terraces, threshing floor, olive press, wine press and cisterns of the Bible have been rebuilt on the ground. Two self-guided trails of about 1.5 km each, with explanation boards and audio posts. Buy online before you drive out — a day that is not in the booking system means no entry. Old Jaffa and Jaffa Port טיולי יום מירושלים · Tel Aviv One of the oldest port cities in the world, an hour from Jerusalem, and a free day out. The municipality publishes an eleven-stop family walking route that starts in Abrasha Park at the stone gate, crosses the Wishing Bridge, drops to Jaffa Port, comes back up to the Ottoman clock tower and finishes in the flea market. Download the municipality's eleven-stop family route before you go — it has the stories for each stop, not just a map. Soreq Cave (Avshalom Stalactite Cave) טיולי יום מירושלים · Judean Hills A 5,000-square-metre limestone cave of stalactites and stalagmites in the Judean Hills, half an hour from Jerusalem and one of the few genuinely indoor outings in the region. The visit is self-guided and includes an introductory film; the circular route inside cannot be walked in reverse. Arrive about 30 minutes before your booked tour time. Yad LaShiryon Armored Corps Memorial, Latrun טיולי יום מירושלים · Latrun The Armored Corps memorial and museum in the British Mandate police fort at Latrun, twenty-five minutes from Jerusalem: one of the world's largest collections of tanks and armoured vehicles, the Wall of Names, a synagogue and an auditorium. Children can climb on the exhibits in the outdoor park. Open on Shabbat 09:00–16:30 — unusual, and it makes for an easy Saturday outing from Jerusalem. פעילויות לילדים ובילוי משפחתי
