I took my kids here at the end of the summer. they range in age from 9-24. we were all fascinated by the stories told by the very passionate and well-spoken young people who work here. admission was very reasonable as we were all one family and were charged as such. it took about 2 hours to go through. we heard the stories of the 'exodus' and other ships that tried to sneak Jews into what is now the State of Israel in the 1940s, during and after WWII. there are all sorts of relics here, pictures, hulls of ships and even the entire "Af al pi chen" boat that succeeded in entering the area. our guide spoke a great english and held all of our attention without fail. my kids were so excited to see all the cool maritime stuff- submarines that we could walk though, missile launchers, cool sonar equipment. they close quite early and were eager to leave on time, we could have stayed longer to wander around the old ships but we were shooed out by the guard at 4 o'clock, I believe. there are bathrooms on premises and vending machines with snacks and drinks but no gift shop or snack bar. I highly recommend a visit to this off-the-beaten-track museum.

As you can see by reading the reviews and the commenst from lea, you must pre coordinate your trip to Ein Hod. We did andhad a lovely experience. We had a tour of the artists village and then met with a few artists before having our own workshop with Lea - one of the artists. We did screen printing which was loads of fun. Only one of the four of us was an artist but the rest of us were still able to enjoy the art project. It was a highlight of the trip. A very interesting and unique community of 150 families in Ein Hod that are all artists. It would be hard to experience the village without having a tour guide. Many of the galleries are in peoples homes so not always open of accessible for those that just drop in. Definitey a lovely off the beaten path kind of experience. I would highly recommend.
