We live in Netanya. We cross this marvelous square on our daily walks. "The joint is jumping" often comes to mind. The square is lined with open air cafes to satisfy any culinary yearning. French immigrants have brought their extraordinary penchant for baking delicious pastries. It's a Tower of Babel with its international presence. There is music on weekdays with an app that allows folks to make special requests. Psychedelic billboards light up,the nights. By day there are large flat water spouts for children to play and cool off. There's shaded Seating for those who aren't eating. The square has beautiful flowers and a lily pond. It is spotless at all times even the morning after beer festivals and Concerts. It leads right up to the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.
2. Victory Monument

This low note monument is placed in a very nice location between sea, modern hotels, and the fallen soldiers memorial. It is quite rare that in our times a different country builds a monument to the fallen Soviet soldiers of World War II. It has also a special note in the connection between the Jewish People and the Red Army, between Holocaust, camps and revival in present day Israel.

Nice beach. Easy access with plenty of parking at NIS20 during week and NIS25 at weekend (NIS10 for residents). Wide and long beach with nice sand. Well maintained with two life guard stations and a couple of restaurants; surf rental shop and beach shop. Chair and umbrella rentals also. Can be noisy when the bars crank up the music.
Well worth a visit if looking for some beach time.

The Planetarium provides you with fairly basic information regarding our solar system and what lies beyond. You'll be bored if you've taken a course in astronomy or science and remember what you've learned. It's pretty muched geared for children (in my opinion). Having said that, the photography is great. The movie is kind of basic. There are regularly-scheduled workshops for children and adults.
There is a lovely and peaceful outdoor Japanese garden with several bonsai trees, all of which grow in Israel.
There's also a mini-science park with hands-on equipment (mostly for kids and kids at heart) from which you can learn different principles of physics.
When you visit, it's best to get a guide to take you through the garden (to get a sense for its creation) and through the park to explain the physics being demonstrated by each piece of equipment. There are brief explanations at each equipment location.
Lots of free parking. No cafe or dining facilities. No English-language web-site yet.

Nice to place to visit, a lot of flowers, river and some fishes.. There is an old (very) old building giving you the sensation that you did a discovery. Picnic possibility. Search a crowded place for your car (if you need it back). No Police around so you are alone with the nature.
