Israel Museum

Museums are a great source for adults to expand their cultural and historical knowledge, but these kinds of tours won't necessarily interest children.
At the Israel Museum, there is a youth wing where children can enjoy hands-on learning in a way that doesn't feel like learning. Even the parents can take something back from a visit to the Isreal Museum's Youth Wing.
