Went at night since a big part of the park is out side and we were afraid that it would be too hot in mid day. It was great. The experiments in the auditorium were fun (the place was packed!). Exhibits both inside and outside are maintained very good (relative to the science museum in haifa, for example). My children are 4,9,13,15 - all had fun.

Like some others, we were assigned to David as a guide for our time in Israel through Abercrombie & Kent, the luxury US tour operator who use nothing but the best.
Israel is as much a spiritual journey as a historical and cultural one. While I am neither Jewish nor a devout Christian (I was raised Methodist but my parents were buddhist in fact) you will completely miss the the essence of Israel without a top notch guide who goes the extra mile to ensure you empathize with the spirit of Israel in the precious short moments you have with him. David is extremely subtle and flexible; certain (pointed) stories here, taking you to a casual restaurant there, having you smoke a waterpipe (I usually don't smoke!) while chatting with Jordanians that are visiting the Tomb of the Rock, or giving a balanced view of the concrete barracade separating Bethlehem on the West Bank from Jerusalem. Experiences as precious as diamonds when you are a traveler.
I will also be eternally indebted to David for helping me with an unethical art dealer (referred by the King David Hotel!) that had not shipped a bronze age Phoenician wine server to me I had purchased. After months of waiting, David coordinated the effort to personally visit the dealer many times, working with the King David Hotel to ensure I finally received it.

This is by far the nicest adventure with young kids. It's an old citrous orchard turned into wonderland by hand - an older mechanic and his son, who created all the attractions themselves. There's nothing of the ubiquitous stuff, everything is unique. Teens are too old, though. Delicious both summer with water attractions and winter with oranges to pick.
4. Hadera River Park

We visited the Hadera River Park near Givat Olga (no entry fee) and enjoyed hiking along the riverbanks and over the new bridge of this wide (by Israel standards) river. The landscape is typical of the Sharon area, sandy and lots of Eucalyptus trees. Although the power plant is a little bit of an eyesore, they built up and landscaped the area to make it look as pretty as possible under the circumstances. The water used to cool down the turbines of the power plant is dumped into the river across from the park. It is not dirty or polluted but if you dangle your legs into the river, the water feels warm. Bottom line: If you are a nature lover and are looking to entertain the kids and/or grandkids for a couple of hours, for free, this park is a wonderful option!

Have a break in the middle of your trip to the North to see some beautiful nature! You can park your car at Mikhmoret Beach, walk along the Nature Reserve to the North , climb up the red reef and walk back through Park HaSharon. You'll have a great view of the Sea from Netanya in the South and Givat Olga (Hadera) in the North. Mikhmoret is a little "moshav" surrounded by Park HaSharon and the Sea. There are 2 restaurants on the Beach, during summer season a very children friendly beach with live gard and shade, and if your interested you can visite the school with it's little harbour-you might be lucky and sea our Surf World Champion .... Great place for wind and wave Surfing and if you prefere to stay in a cozy holiday home as an alternative to the large hotels....we call it "zimmer" you are welcome to stay in Mikhmoret, its only 30 min. from Tel-Aviv, 30 min. from Haifa and 15 min. from Caesaria!!

We spent 3-4 hours last Saturday at the White Bear.
Entry fee is reasonable considering the amount of time we spent there and the interest level for our kids.
I don't believe that adults (who don't participate in the extreme activities) should pay an entry fee, or it should be significantly reduced.
There are lots of things to do and our kids were fully entertained and happy.
I started out by sitting around and Reading a book, but was encouraged to join by my kids and spent an hour happily wall-climbing, mini-bungee-jumping, etc.
Music is not too loud (relative to other similar indoor adventure parks), the staff is very helpful and professional, and the food is decent relative to other similar parks (they have a cafeteria). You can also bring your own food and eat outside (although there is not sufficient shade).
There are a few outdoor activities including water-fights so bring a change of clothes for your kids.
I strongly recommend it!
8. The Kibbutz Experience at Ein-Shemer - Activity Centre and Museum

I would highly recommend Kibbutz Ein Shemer if you want to learn about early kibbutz life and kibbutz life today. Our English-speaking guide, Amir, was fantastic. He is a third-generation kibbutznik whose grandparents were among the first pioneers of the kibbutz and he himself grew up in the children’s home of the kibbutz. (Children on the kibbutz no longer live in a separate children’s home – an example of one of the changes.) He first took us around the Old Courtyard Museum which focuses on early pioneer life, bringing it alive with anecdotes. For the second part of the tour we were driven around the kibbutz by Amir in a covered trailer pulled by a tractor. We were a group of three, including our fourteen year old daughter, and for all of us this tour was a highlight of our trip. Amir was extremely generous with his time, not only being extremely gracious about the fact that we had kept him waiting, as it had taken us longer to get to the kibbutz than we had expected, but answering all our questions so that the tour lasted longer than scheduled. Please note you need to book the tour in advance.

If you are hard to impress, skip this pleasant stroll through the center of town. Not much of anything other than a small park (remembering the good old days), that runs along side the in-city shopping mall.
