Wish there were more animals but there were many reptiles it was cute for people who aren't afraid...(not for me)
My kids had the time of their lives! They loved the interaction with all the animals. Tour guides were excellent and very informative.
A wonderful visit. This museum had something for everybody. It was fascinating to learn about the relationship between Israel, the Torah and the natural world! Definitely recommend!
I wish to go back for the visitors is so good it was so good the first time
A must visit. There are all the animals that you can encounter while reading the Word of God, the Bible.
I was impressed!

Great museum, interesting and fun for all the family.
There are great exhibits, an informative tour (I took the tour in English and the guide was great) and interactive bits for adults and kids alike (hold a Burmese python, tarantula and much much more). For those a little more squirmish worry not, there are cuddlier things to hold / pet too!
The museum focusses on the fauna of the land of Israel and related regions along with their links to the Bible, but also includes wider aspects of the animal kingdom.
I would highly recommend a visit - plan to spend 2-3 hours I suggest.

Due to a family mess-up we arrived a minute late for our appointed tour. There was only one parking space left in the small museum parking area, but plenty of parking space on the street (but maybe not always? Moral: arrive with good time to park, if you'rearriving by car). There's a lift at the entrance level that takes you up to the museum, but no sign to suggest that actually everything takes place upstairs (incase, like me, you wandered around the entrance level to see where to check-in for the guided tour). The entrance houses a museum shop with cuddly animal toys, as well as Rabbi Slifkin's serious natural history Torah books. The museum's guides and volunteers were friendly, humorous and helpful. The museum has a pleasant lay-out with exhibits and explanations in Hebrew and English. Some exhibits may not be touched, others are very hands-on and a few have warning about potential bites... so read the signs or keep an eye on younger illiterate children. We enjoyed the explanatory video on entry to the tour. In all, a very pleasant and educational hour was had by our entire family.
