  • 4/5 Daeniilanen E. 6 years ago on Google • 74 reviews
    You MUST have a pre-arranged reservation and your passport to get through security and pay the ₪30 entrance fee. There is only the timed, guided tour through the museum that has been built into a military facility. The tour itself starts with a short speech from your guide, followed by a series of film projections in specially curated sets. The story follows a founding group's experiences through Independence and the subsequent Arab conflicts from the Isreali perspective as the Palmach transitions to the IDF. There is also a large collection of photographic artifacts and a small Café. Often there are vetrans that visit at the end of the tour for questions and photos.

    Amazing museum. Tell the history in a very engaging and emotional way. You really get into the story. And you learn the values that allowed us to get our country. Very educational experience for kids and adults. The sound system is not amazing, though.. and it's not recommended to young kids, or highly sensitive... Bring tissue paper...

    The Palmach Museum is located in Ramat Aviv and is dedicated to the Palmach strike-force of the Haganah defense organization that operated prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

    Not really a museum but more an experience traveling through multiple rooms telling the story of the Palmach. Personalised by relating entirely to a small team. Used original and recreated film which are clearly distinguished. Brings the early struggle for the state to life

  • 5/5 maayan d. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We really enjoyed it. The place conveys the story of the training and partnership in fighting for the country in an authentic and experiential way. Suitable for children and adults. (Original) נהנינו מאד. המקום מעביר את הסיפור של ההכשרה והשותפות בלחימה למען הארץ בצורה אותנטית וחוויתית. מתאים לילדים ולמבוגרים.

  • 5/5 Blondie Y. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The museum is of a very high standard but very high! The museum is invested !, spectacular !, and exciting! Tells the story of the Palmach and the establishment of the state combined with interactive videos, invested scenery and original photos and even staged videos with actors. Highly recommended for those who have seen / see the series "Palmach". The price is very fair especially in relation to the value. The museum is air conditioned and cozy and even has a cafe at attractive prices. highly recommend! (Original) המוזאון ברמה מאוד אבל מאוד גבוהה! המוזיאון מושקע!, מרהיב!, ומרגש! מספר את סיפור הפלמ"ח וקום המדינה בשילוב קטעי וידאו אינטראקטיביים, תפאורה מושקעת ותמונות מקוריות ואפילו קטעי וידאו מבוימים עם שחקנים. מאוד מומלץ למי שראה/רואה את הסדרה "פלמ"ח". המחיר הוגן מאוד במיוחד ביחס לתמורה. המוזיאון ממוזג ונעים ואפילו יש בית קפה במחירים אטרקטיביים. ממליץ בחום!

    A highlight of Tel Aviv. An immersive exhibition that keeps you hooked and tells a powerful story. Run by service personnel who were super helpful. Worth booking in advance as you are guided through at particular times and cannot roam around as per a traditional museum.

    Fabulous experience. Was great hearing a live story from one of the Palmachim

  • 5/5 Elana A. 4 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Wow! Wow! Wow! Stunning tour of history! You need to call ahead and make a reservation and keep in mind that the tour is appropriate for 6 years and above. The tour keeps all your senses including smell in mind as you are shuffled through time underground. Fantastic! Compelling and as always, whdn considering the personal stories of Israel history, bittersweet.

    Truly amazing experience. This is a must do in order to understand the Israeli psyche. It traces the history of the Palmach complete with personal stories. At the end of your visit - you will find that your heartstrings have been pulled and you feel part of the experience. You are in fact part of the Silver Platter. Do this.

    A most impressive 3D experience. The visuals are immersive and the details bring the history of the emerging nation of Israel's military efforts to coalesce a national defense force. Well done!

  • 3/5 Elijah M. 8 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    Honestly the most boring museum I have been too in a long time. I was externally disappointed with the lack of accommodations this museum provided. Note that this Museum does not offer subtitles on any of the films.

    Place starts on time. Walking through 12 rooms with videos that take you on a journey of the beginning of the palmach and the foundations of the idf.

  • 1/5 Martin S. 11 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    I went there now at 9.00, but the museum is closed though it should open at 9.00. There is no anouncement on the homepage (neither in the english nor in the hebrew section). The guards said that they open late today only at 10.30. I am an ICOM-Member and visit many museums. Something like this only happend to me in provincial village museums: very unprofessional!

  • 3/5 Uri S. 1 year ago on Google
    Google Maps asked me to review the Museum as I had been asking for directions. I actually only picked someone up there, but found parking right in front as someone was just leaving. A solid 3 stars!

  • 5/5 D K. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 Efraim G. 1 year ago on Google
    Multimedia experience on the Palmach elite force. The visit is only by groups going rom room to room. Very beatiful rooms that recreates the Palmach events. But the visit is too fast. No detail info on the events. No book shop.

  • 5/5 Simple As T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In the heart of the country is the Palmach Museum, from which the IDF grew, with interesting and high-quality exhibits and historical stories that renew each time. Tours / activities can be held at different lengths of time and tailored to the participants. Very important and very valuable. Parking problem in the best tradition of Tel Aviv :( (Original) בלב הארץ ממוקם מוזיאון הפלמ"ח שממנו צמח צה"ל, עם תצוגות מעניינות ואיכותיות וסיפורים היסטוריים שמחדשים בכל פעם. ניתן לקיים סיורים/פעילויות באורכי זמן שונים ולהתאימם למשתתפים. חשוב מאד וערכי מאד. בעיית חנייה כמיטב המסורת של תל אביב :(

  • 4/5 Elif K. 4 years ago on Google
    Underground museum about Israel’s history and managed by IDF. The way of telling the story was very good with a high use of multimedia. Makes you feel like you’re traveling across the time. The tour guide explained and answered all of our questions pretty well in English.

  • 5/5 Mark G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nicely built underground museum. As you walk through the different exhibits it takes you with the Palmach and shows how they developed and what their contribution was. You follow their growth from a few farmers to what eventually became the IDF. See where they went and what they did there. The combination of re-enactments and original footage was terrific and getting attached to the characters made it an emotional journey as well. I enjoyed this museum and hope others will too.
