Take a journey into the ocean and the Israeli sea

Gorgeous place.
Aside from the aquarium, which is magical, artistic, full of surreal colour and beauty, there is also a butterfly house, where stunning flying creatures flit graciously amongst the magnificent tropical planting.
One of the best outings in recent memory.

We went with the kids and it was awesome! So many cool aquatic animals, different pools, and tons of fish to check out.

Right next door there’s a butterfly park, and honestly, that was magical — butterflies flying all around, some even landing on us like they wanted a photo shoot. The best part? It’s all included in one ticket.

Parking was easy too. I’d say go in the morning if you can, but even at lunchtime it wasn’t busy. Totally recommend!

Very fun and interesting place, we come there every few years because the kids love it. It is not very big, you can finish the round in an hour or with the kids in two hours max. but don't miss it. And there is also a live butterfly area, the kids really enjoyed the place

The Jerusalem Aquarium is really cool and easy to get around. Highlights for us were the stingray exhibit and the huge whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling — very impressive. There are fun tunnels and spots where kids can pop their heads up to see the fish, which adds to the experience. That said, it’s missing a bit of variety. I would have loved to see bigger sharks or more unique sea creatures. Some tanks looked like they could use a clean, and overall it feels like it could use a bit of an upgrade. Still, definitely worth a visit and a family outing.

Amazing place! For kids and also adults. Magical butterfly farm. A lot of aquariums with different kind of sea animals. Easy access. Very clean and organized. Parking available. Must go!
