I was there with my family including to young boys, and it was a very pleasing experience. Plenty of things to do and see. There was a free theater show for the kids. The main attraction - the mini buildings are really nice. They are also placed from North to South just like in real life. Food and drinks are... More

Poorly maintained site with seemingly high-schoolish miniature models of landmarks and buildings in israel. Bits of work in progress here and there. That aside, its a good overall view of the sights in israel, just don't expect 100% accuracy or to scale. The only bright spark of that excursion was the AHAVA store on site-easily cheaper than what you would... More

I wouldn't go here again or take tourists visiting israel here even it was free of charge. The place is in complete disrepair. I kept waiting for the guy in the cheap Godzilla suit to come out and start stomping on the sets that were in need of a paint job. The replica pools were all empty. Save your money... More

Visited Israel in August as an act of courage to show our Israel allies and the world "we the people" acknowledge freedom everywhere to exist in our mutual western way of life. Everyone we met was so nice and helpful...even in times when I stumbled with Hebrew terms/ pronunciation. It was amazingly clean and safe...and the food was better than... More

Avoid during midday, overpriced 9 shekels for water!!! Nice to get a perspective of where everything is situated, would be better to go to the sites in person. Would not recommend. More

Mini Israel is fun for the whole family. All of Israel's attractions are displayed in wonderfully detailed miniatures. Visitors can stroll from the architectural wonders of the holy sites of Jerusalem to a cattle market in Beersheba and the ski slopes of Mt. Hermon. I love the sunburned little tourists on the beach at Tel Aviv. My grandchildren loved pushing... More

If I had little kids with me, & for some reason I had extra time & money to spare, & I needed to entertain them, I would take them here. That's about it. With so many exciting & interesting things to see & do in Israel, why waste your time & money on this? Why not just go to the... More

I was disappointed with Mini-Israel. Parts are warn-out looking, and just dirty. They don't keep it up as they should. I was also disappointed that it was not laid out as a giant map of the country, so it's less "actual" than I expected in terms of where everything is and learning the geography of the country. And It's a... More

It is true that my children have pretty high standards with this kind of place, since I have taken them to places such as Legoland in Denmark. Maybe they had high expectations. Still, they only needed one glance inside this place to turn to me and say "Daddy, this sucks." The models are not well maintained and decrepit. There is... More
