The biggest and best in Israel

This Botanical garden is amazing for two main reasons. First, for the preservation of many, many native plants that would have been unnoticed or extinct. Second, for the introduction into Israel of many, many, plants from all over the world.

botanical garden. Pleasant. Cute

Pleasant garden for a walk. Very well maintained. There is a tiny lake with water plants that grow in it. Sometimes ducks also. Very nice to walk with very beautiful flowers especially in the spring. There is a nice restaurant by the lake.

Not for summer or rainy days

Minuses - there is little to no shade varying on different areas of the botanical park, and during a hot summer day the gardens seem half dead. There are many walk paths but little to no sitting places, drinking water, shade from sun or rain....More

Night of fairy tales (special event for children)

Wonderful garden. Great atmosphere and children's event. Worth the visit. If you are into botanical gardens, this one is very well planned and informative. Not everything is accessible due to construction, but you don't feel that you're missing anything because of it L.
