They run hands on candy making workshops. The workshop begins with boiling the sugar and ends in a delicious variety of different shaped, customizable candies. Their candies are made with the best quality natural ingredients and besides being beautiful are also really delicious! We went with my three big kids (ages 6- 9) and all five had a blast. Even Eli and I couldn’t hold back from playing with the candy. The workshop is fun, interactive, informative and obviously yummy! You do need to book an appointment with them before going.
You have an option to drive to Ramat Gan which can take around hour, give or take Israeli traffic, or you they will pack up and come to you! They also do workshops for parties, big and small and make custom candies for events, care packages, and parties. JERUSALEM ROPES COURSECONTACT INFO: challengetours@gmail. ADRESS: Givat ha- Takhmoshet, Jerusalem(Ammunition Hill)Hours: By appointment only. Sun- Friday What is the Jerusalem Ropes Course? The Jerusalem is a series of climbing and swinging activities set up around ammunition hill.
There are rope ladders, ropes that pull you up and then swing you down, tight walking ropes and of course zip lining. We brought ten kids with us ages 4- 8 and all of us had a great time. It took us about two hours to get through the course and at no point did we feel bored. The kids were happy, and the guide they randomly assigned us to take us through the course was phenomenal with them. He was patient with the children that were slightly nervous and excited and cheerful at every child’s turn. What eli and I liked best, besides the fact that we spent the money to bring the kids their and it was a success (because we all know what the alternative is), is that it is in Jerusalem, easy to get to, parking was a breeze and we didn’t waste our whole day.
It’s the perfect activity for an ere yuntif, or a day where you still want time to get other things done! JERUSALEM HILLS ATVCONTACT INFO: 0. ADRESS: Leave from the HOTEL YEHUDARechov Chaim Kulitz. Givat Masu’a. HOURS: By appointment only. Sunday- Friday. What is Jerusalem Hills Atv? Its an off road ATV/Jeeping adventure in and around the hills of Jerusalem. It is very local, across form the mall, and actually a hidden treasure of an activity.
We took everyone with us, plus a few extras (ages 1& 1/2 – 3. ALL of us had a blast. The scenery was breathtaking and so enlightening. It is one thing to know that Jerusalem is built on a series of hill but to actually drive through them and see them laid out before us was just spectacular. What do I wish I had known before going? DO NOT WEAR A SHEITEL. Is Canola The Same As Vegetable Oil. Actually, do not wear anything that you don’t want to wash.
Lets just say that my dark brown sheitel looked like the color of, well, dirt, blonde dirt. And our clothes resembled potato sack like garments that people may have worn in biblical times. Dont get me wrong, all this dirtiness was a HUGE bonus for every child involved, I may had worn a tichel and sneakers had I been warned! In fact, it was so beautiful and so fun that is actually an activity we plan to do again! JERUSALEM SNAPPELING (RAPPELLING)http: //www. CONTACT INFO: 0. 52- 8. ADRESS: Meeting point: The bridge in between the Herzel Museum and the Mount Zion Hotel.
Jerusalem. HOURS: By reservation only. Sun- Fri. What is snappeling? Actually, I’m not exactly sure what the difference between snappeling and rappelling is, but I don’t really think it matters. All you need to know is that you are attached to two, very sturdy ropes via a secure harness and you lay your body back side down over what feels like the tallest mountain in the world (fear not, it is in fact not even close to that), and proceed to walk down the mountain all why looking up at the beautiful blue skies that envelope the old city. Did I slightly romanticize what it feels like to hurl yourself over a mountain? Yes I did. Why, you ask?
Because in reality that first moment of getting over the mountain is incredibly terrifying. However, Once you take that first step and you feel the security of the rope, all the fear melts away and you can focus on how cool you are because youre currently rappelling off the hills of Jerusalem. I took 5 kids with me, ages 6- 9 and not only did they all love it, but they each did it a second time. Had I let, they would have stayed there forever.
Or at least until dinnertime. The guide that brings you is incredibly sweet and patient and we all felt very safe in his hands. For kids that are too afraid or two young, you can actually go down in pairs.
It is not a typical activity, but I promise it is one all of you will remember for a long time! ERETZ BEREISHIThttp: //www. CONTACT: 0. 2- 9. ADRESS: Genesis Land. Yishuv Ayalon. HOURS: BY appointment only.
What is Eretz Bereishit? Its a step back in time to the days of Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov. The adventure starts with changing into the “appropriate” attire and mounting a camel for a ride down the curvy hill. Aside from your cell phone, which you probably need for pictures, from that point on, there is very little else to remind you of what era we are actually living in.
From sitting on mats in tents, to writing on parchment to baking pitas with out conventional equipment it is a fun and informative activity for children and adults. Because Eretz Bereishit is anyway a two minute drive from Nahal Prat we always end our day at the Nahal. See the next activity for info. NAHAL PRAT, WATER HIKECONTACT: NONEADRESS: Two minutes past the right turn into Peretz berieshit. Park anywhere on the mountain. You will see cars parked on the side as well. HOURS: NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY! What its Nahal Prat?
Nahal Prat is one of our favorite “hikes” in Israel. When I first told my kids that I was putting together this post, they couldn’t decide on whether everyone needs to know about this, or if we should keep this hidden gem a secret so that it never gets overcrowded!
Lucky for you, we decided to share! Aside from the 1 minute walk down a very steep hill to begin the water trail, the entire walk is flat. Whaaaaaaaaaat? I know, flat land in Israel is a parents dream. There is a few mile stream with small waterfalls sprinkled on the edges every once in a while through the beautiful valleys surrounding Jerusalem. A lot of the walk is shaded by overgrown bushes that create an arch of some sort shielding you from the sun. We have seen deer up on the mountains on top of us and thew smell of fresh lavender growing all around the stream perfumes the air in the most satisfying way. Since it only takes 3. It’s close by, gets us moving, involves getting wet (which is a huge bonus for us), and is really beautiful. THE SHUK, MAHANE YEHUDAADRESS: The center of Jerusalem, between Rechov Yaffo and Rechov Aggripas. HOURS: Daytime shopping roaming and eating 9: 0. Nighttime eating, bar hopping 9/1. What is the shuk?
