10 Things to do Good for Kids in Tel Aviv That You Shouldn't Miss
A youthful, modern metropolis with a diverse population, Tel Aviv dates back only to 1909. Clubs, bars, a thriving arts community, gay life and beaches attract artists, musicians and young professionals to Tel Aviv's more secular scene. Its UNESCO-designated Bauhaus architecture has won the city the moniker "The White City." Walk, drive or catch cabs between the cultural exhibition pavilions of Haaretz Museum, historic Independence Hall Museum, bustling Carmel Market and Old Jaffa's boardwalk.

An anthropological experience of the two daughters of Joseph Bau, a creative man, one of the fathers of graphic design in Israel, a Holocaust survivor with an extraordinary life story. The sisters keep the place and the amazing story they keep alive is worth a visit. Ask questions and note that the story is not over.

We came primarily for the Tel Aviv Crafts and Design Biennale, but the whole museum was lovely. We really appreciated the way the curators integrated many of the contemporary exhibits from the Biennale with relevant portions of the permanent exhibit, which focuses on the Land of Israel. The Biennale itself was fun, with a wide variety of innovative ideas on display. The campus is spacious and nicely landscaped, with exhobit buildings scatered thoughout for a fun indoor-outdoor experience. We visited in the evening so the temperature was pleasant. An added plus: The museum very strictly complies with Ministry of Health regulations around the covid pandemic. They make sure the exhibit halls are not overcrowded, they limit the number of tickets sold, they have alco-gel dispensers stationed throughout the campus. All the necessary logistics were executed intelligently and pleasantly. Two huge thumbs up!

-Beit Hatfutsot is currently closed until further notice, due to the Corona virus crisis- Beit Hatfutsot, the Museum of the Jewish People, tells the ongoing and extraordinary story of the Jewish people. Beit Hatfutsot connects Jewish people to their roots and strengthens their personal and collective Jewish identity. Beit Hatfutsot conveys to the world the fascinating narrative of the Jewish people and the essence of the Jewish culture, faith, purpose and deed while presenting the contribution of world Jewry to humanity.

I had not been to Bet Hatfutsot for over 20 years, but having heard about its remodeling and redefining itself along with the interesting subjects they were exhibiting there, I went to the museum with my Israeli partner, who had never been there. We stayed almost 4 hours, visiting each exhibit, both permanent and temporary. Some of the museum is still under remodeling, but that did not take away one bit of the meaningful, exciting, stimulating and thought-provoking time we had there. It is a MUST SEE place, for Israelis, Jews and non- Jews alike. The children's exhibit should be experienced by all visitors, young and old.The exhibit there is energetic, creative, , fun and informative.The temporary exhibits on Bob Dylan, Ethiopian Jews in Israel and the war photographer, Chim, were curated in a state-of-the art design. But it was the permanent exhibit hall with the reconstructed synagogues and the films and the cartoons showing Jewish history, customs, prayers, dialogue and connection that was the most moving. The courageous and honest depiction of Judiasm both here in Israel and throughout the world as a pluralistic, dynamic and sensitive religion was so refreshing! I have nothing but praise for the Museum, its content and its message.

Before the port of Ashdod, there was the port of Tel Aviv. Nowadays the big ships are gone (replaced by some sailboats), and it's a great place to visit for shopping, restaurants, skateboarding and fun.

10. Tel Aviv Marina and Sea Center

This beautiful marina is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon (or a whole day, if you're so inclined). Walk along the marina, enjoy the spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea, watch a sunset, go for a swim in the warm water of a bordering beach, or simply people-watch while you enjoy a fresh drink at one of the many bars along the marina. This is also a popular place for people to go for a run or bike-ride. Everything is very clean, which is nice - not all marinas are well-maintained. Keep in mind that with the temperatures soaring in warmer months, it gets incredibly busy and there are crowds of people here, so plan your visit accordingly. We like coming here later in the afternoon, once the crowds have started to disperse a little bit. Also, some of the restaurants are pricey, although that seems to be the norm for most marinas as restaurants capitalize on prime real estate.
