This zoo is lush with green and color. The animals are mostly visible without fences are bars to look through. Birds were nesting in the trees. Loved the raptor house and so many other animals in this zoo. Plenty of places to have a picnic and sit in shade. Highly recommend it.

I don't have a car. I took the train to Hagana Station in TelAviv. Then I took a taxi to the Safari Park entrance. (I could have walked a few blocks to the 31 bus, which stops a few blocks from the Safari. But taxi is much faster.) After paying (81 shekels for senior citizen), I took a shuttle bus through the safari to the zoo entrance. The shuttle driver will slow down when there are interesting animals to see along the safari route. (People with a car can stop and take photos out of their window.) The zoo has enough animal exhibits to be interesting. There are some refreshment stands and there is a restaurant (it is open on Shabat, but all the food is kosher). There is a small gift shop, mostly with toys and books for kids. On the shuttle ride out, the safari has the lions. The shuttle stopped so we could get good looks of the lion and the pride of lionesses.

Gan-Garoo Australian Park - a unique attraction containing wildlife and vegetation from far-off Australia. Gan-Garoo is home to free-roaming kangaroos of various types that you can pet and hand-feed; a parrot sanctuary where you can feed the birds from juicy fruit skewers. In the zoo's Australian farm you'll encounter farm animals characteristic of the Australian continent. There are petting corners where mini-goats are fed and groomed plus an assortment of other interesting animals - adorable koalas, cassowary, emu, flying foxes, reptiles and more...

Amazing Australian park, plenty of kangaroos, goats, birds and other Australian animals, you can pet and feed kangaroos, make sure to bring small change - the food dispenser machines are accepting only 1 shekel coins. Arriving in the morning you will ensure that the kangaroos and still hungry and less sleepy (they won't eat once full, and usually nap after lunch).

9. Yodfat Monkey Forest
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 50 reviews
The Monkey Forest is a 10-acre wildlife refuge situated in the natural oak forest of Moshav Yodfat. The Yodfat Monkey Forest has harbored a troop of squirrel monkeys since 1976, as well as rescuing and providing a life-long home for animals that have been subjected to deprivation or neglect. Our goal is to provide our animals a life of dignity and respect and instill a love of wildlife and nature in our visitors.

Monkeys, especially free in nature, are not a common view in Israel. In fact, you can't see them at all in Israel free except in the Monkey Forest in Yodfat. Yodfat is the ancient Hebrew name of the last strongholds of the Jewish rebellion against the ancient empire of Rome. The Romans eventually destroyed the ancient town of Yodfat, and it was founded again as a beautiful village in modern Israel, about more than 1900 years after its destruction, right in the middle of the Galilee, very close to the ruins of the barrow of the ancient stronghold. So, visiting the Monkey Forest gives you an opportunity to see the relics of one of the biggest human dramas that happened in history. The forest itself is lively and full of life. It is not very big, but rich with various species of small monkeys. That means you don't have to worry that a gorilla or a huge orangutan will bite your child or you. The little delicate monkeys have been trained to sit on your shoulder while you are feeding them. Don't bring food with you - their diet is special and their health is meticulously monitored. You can buy their special food at the entrance. Very nice for young children as well as for older children whom we have been told to call adults.
