Traveling With Your Children to the Holy Land

Kids don’t want to learn about history when they go on vacation; they want to have fun. So if your dream vacation includes a trip to Israel, fret not.  There, your kids will have plenty of opportunities to participate in fun activities while you visit incredible sites.  In fact, reliving the past will seem like an adventure to them.  So go ahead and embark on one of the many holyland tours.  You and your family will draw much pleasure from traveling together.

Family journeys to Israel usually include the Majarsa Nature Reserve.  Featuring the beautiful Daliot River; it’s the ideal site for a hike, wading in the water or playing with the exotic fish that swim along the edge.  

Bat Ya’ar Ranch is another great spot.  It’s located close to the mystical town of Tsfat.  Here, your children will never say they’re bored.  It’s the perfect place for youngsters of all ages.  At the ranch the kids can go horse back-riding; they can join you in a trek or visit the ecological village to have a picnic or go bowling.  And for the smaller toddlers there’s a large farm where they can pet the animals.

From here you’ll want to go to the Biblical Zoo where everyone will have a fantastic time.  The signs are quite informative and aside from describing the animals’ habitats it relates their importance in the Bible.  And for added fun, you ought not to skip the children’s petting zoo and Noah’s Ark themed park.

If your child is an archaeologist in the making, there’s no better place to visit than Bet Guvrin, where he or she can take part in a “dig” for a few hours.  And while the brief time they’re given on the site may not be enough to discover the remains of a pharaoh, they’ll have an unforgettable afternoon.  In addition, they’ll have the opportunity to meander throughout the caves and marvel in the underground rooms that were constructed centuries ago.

In Israel, your entire family will get to share in a most memorable experience.  Your kids will enjoy themselves while learning of another culture; and they might even pick up a word or two of Hebrew.
