The Bloomfield Science Museum in Jerusalem serves as the country’s premier tribute to science. The location is well known for its family oriented activities and events that can keep the interest of everyone. The goal of the institution is to act as a kind of bridge between the scientific community and the general public.

One of the things that you will note right away is that the structure is quite well suited to children, with exhibitions that will interest the young visitors. The displays can teach a kid to be an entertainment park owner, or how to be an architect, and even how to better understand the laws of physics that keep our Universe in tact. However, the place is not just designed for kids. There are a lot of interactive displays designed to be of interest to adults, to keep them just as involved as the little ones who come to this place to play and learn.

The Israeli flavor of the building is expressed in specialized exhibits. They have been created by members of the local academic community. Often, they are based on current projects from the University. The location is also capable of hosting a party for various occasions.

The Bloomfield Science Museum is a mere five minutes from the Israel Museum. Admission for adults is 30-35 NIS. Children 5 or older can get in for 25-35 NIS. There are special prices for Soldiers, Disabled, Students, and Seniors.

The Israel Museum, or Muze'on Yisrael, Yerushalayim is located in Jerusalem. It was founded in 1965 as Israel's national archive. It is located in the local region of Givat Ram. The National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel, Knesset, the Israeli Supreme Court, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem are very near to this location also.

Mayor Teddy Kollek was perhaps the most instrumental person in the development of the institution. In terms of similar places, it is world famous for art and archaeology. In its walls are housed ancient artifacts from the days of the Bible, Judaica, local ethnic graphic art, as well as archaeological pieces from every major contienent in the world. You can also find treasures from the Orient, glass, clay and porcelain sculptures and rare documents from around the world.

Perhaps the most famous exhibit here is the Shrine of the Book. In a special shaped building, the Dead Sea Scrolls and artifacts discovered at Masada have found a home. The museum's owns over 500,000 collectible pieces. At any one time, there are around 7500 items that can be viewed, or seen online.

The location, under the directorship of James Snyder, underwent a mutlti-million dollar campaign to modernize the structure. In addition, the construction would be designed to double the gallery space available for exhibits. It opened on July 26 2010. The current building covers nearly 150,000 sq. feet. It attracts 800,000 patrons yearly. Well over 100,000 children visit each year. It holds the biggest public display of Israeli artifacts in the world.

The Botanical Gardens is centrally located in Nayot, on the southeastern edge of the Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The place is designed in sections, which feature flora and fauna of various regions of the world. The attraction opened to the public in 1985. In 1986, a tropical conservatory was opened to the general public. The famous South Africa section was planted in 1989. The Hank Greenspan Entrance Plaza, Dvorsky Visitors’ Center, which constitute much of the rest of the campus, were built in 1990. They also added a lovely restaurant.

The original grounds were procured in 1926, on the Mount Scopus side. Plans were created by Alexander Eig, who was the chairman of the Botany department of the University at the time. Planting started in 1931.

During the Israeli War of Independence, access to the university campus was cut off. An alternative campus was opened for a bit, through 1956. Some additions were then added over the years, but the real boom started in 1975. In that year, “the Society of Friends of the Botanical Gardens” was established to care for the place. The group was composed of lots of members of the former governing authorities, such as the JNF, the city of Jerusalem, and the local University.
In 1981, the Garden Association was started. The grounds were opened to the public in 1985. In 1994, it broke all formal ties with Hebrew University. Since that point in time, the Botanical Garden Association has been responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the place.

Among the things to see here is the Japanese garden. It holds the biggest collection of bonsai trees on the planet. There is also the "Bible Path" which is home to 70 species of plant life that have been known to have existed during the times in which the Bible was written. The organization is highly committed to creating a gene pool to protect rare flowers and plants in Israel.

Max Brenner Chocolate is a paradise for those who like chocolates. It sells the best homemade chocolates you can find in Jerusalem. They also make exceptionally tasty bonbons.

This theater is located in Liberty Bell Park. It has been designed to be an entertainment place unlike any other. It has been designed to promote the craft of puppeteering. The place specializes in entertaining children, but it is probably just as famous with the adults who happen to visit. This whole endeavor is quite anti-thetical in many ways, as the theatre scene of Jerusalem is growing, a large genre of plays being performed all the time

One of the best things about this place is that they have lots of plays showing, at any given time, that are designed to captivate kids. The make use of bright colors, happy music and a host of other tricks to get this task done. Yet, the plots in the plays are sophisticated enough to keep the attention of the adults in the crowd also.

Frequently, the cast and characters of some play are taken on the road surrounding communities. When they are traveling, they often make use of public art as a kind of “propt” for the play. One local favorite is an inflatable Elvis that if often used.

The location of the Train Theater is St. Jabotinsky 1, The Bell Park Garden, Jerusalem. This is a real must see for anyone who is traveling in the Holy Lands with their children. It will help well worth the stop.

The Western Wall Tunnel is an underground tunnel exposing the Western Wall in its full length. The tunnel is adjacent to the Western Wall and is located under buildings of the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel. While the open-air portion of the Western Wall is approximately 60 m long, the majority of its original length is hidden underground. The tunnel allows access to an additional 485 meters of the wall. The tunnel exposes a total length of 485 m of the wall, revealing the methods of construction and the various activities in the vicinity of the Temple Mount. The excavations included many archaeological finds along the way, including discoveries from the Herodian period (streets, monumental masonry), sections of a reconstruction of the Western Wall dating to the Umayyad period, and various structures dating to the Ayyubid, Mamluke and Hasmonean periods constructed to support buildings in the vicinity of the Temple Mount.

This is one of the structural openings that are part of the wall enclosing Old Jerusalem. This spot gets its name because it is the way you would go to the capital of Syria. It is approximately 135 miles away ( or 220 kilometers.) It faced the north. This location also serves as the main entrance into East Jerusalem. By far it is more interesting than many other places in the old town. I many ways, it is the beginning of what one might call a microcosm of the Palestinian world. In this location, vendors bring goods to and from the Old City, family’s still have picnics, and life continues much the way it has for years upon years. Yet, on the steps of the buildings, you can find Israeli soldiers standing guard. You can become quite taken with the sales people there also, selling their herbs, produce and the like. The women are famous for the wearing of their embroidered dresses that are a part of their dowry and identity. The structure has remained pretty much intact since the time of Süleyman the Magnificent. He also happens to be the person who oversaw the gate's construction between 1537 and 1542. The present size, though, was the result of work commissioned by Roman emperor Hadrian. There was a column that once stood here. This old structure gave birth to the other name for this place: Bab al-Amud (Gate of the Column).
