    Great place for nice and not warm days, the castle and the views are awesome. There aren't many shade places around so it is recommended to visit in autumn to early spring time of the year and probably after a few rainy days so all the winter pools are full of water. Most of the place is accessible to a stroller or wheel chair, and having it close by makes it a very good place to come back and visit every year. There's also a very nice route to a bike trip which is very recommended.

    Huge potential, yet not quite ready. Today there are great paved paths up the castle but all the surrounding sites are still under development. The castle itself is mostly renovated but still not too interesting - will be much better in a year or so, I'm sure.

    Renovated historical site. There is entrance after which there is a parking right in front of the tower. There are tours every hour. It is not big but really unique to hear the history starting second century, part was built by crusaders and then by ottomans. There is a small coffee and gift shop inside. Great for a short visit.

    Great national park with crusader fortress and more. Huge area to explore, bring water, hats and sunscreen and come early morning as there is barely little to no shade unless one seeks shelter at the fortress!

    It's a large park with many routes for a walk. I recommend to take your bike/scooter with you as there are wonderful cycling lanes. We didn't have it, and there was no rental place. Almost no shadow area, so better to come in autumn, winter or spring. Quite busy on Saturday

    The park us very well kept, very clean and fun to visit. But there is barely any shade, and during hot days there is nowhere to hide, other than a few single trees here or there, and the ancient 'tower' itself. Views are absolutely beautiful, and it's fun to wonder around the trails. The 'tower' is very well kept and maintained. Parking spacr is well organized and huge. Very close to the central area if that's a plus for you. We'll probably visit again when it's not so hot outside.

    A new national park in Israel. Really nice. Make sure to come early in the morning on a summer morning... It gets very hot.

    Fantastic new park right next to Rosh Ha’Ayin. Everything is brand sparkling new. Lots of paved paths make it excellent for either a bike trip or taking a wheelchair or a stroller. Really fantastic views into Gush Dan and the whole coastal skyline. Highly recommended

    A very impressive restoration of an old castle 🏰 There is a serious lack of shade along the way to the castle, but it seems that this will improve in the future, when the trees will grow some more. Nice panoramic view of Rosh Aayin and Tel Aviv.

    Migdal Tsedek is Majdal Yaba and what a history! From a 3000 BCE walled city to today's modern Israeli city of Rosh Ayin. I liked the remains of the Crusader fortress called 'Mirabel'. Nice cafe and gift shop , plenty of parking, paying a small entrance fee. Great walking paths all around.

    Mixed fillings. I'm very happy to see the amount of work that they did to restore and preserve the place. However, I hate that they turn all the parks into American style amusement parks. The structures should remain as close as possible to the originals. All the pyrotechnics and shows, stores and restaurants should be in separate, new structures outside on the edge of the park without taking away from the old and amazing structures and architecture.

    Nice visit. Get there early to avoid the heat. Apparently the park is brand new as to May 2021. Renovation is still going on. Many trees were planted, but are still young and shade is scarce. The main attractions are a palace on the hill top and a beautiful lake, but it's forbidden to swim

    Amazing park, freshly renovated. Suitable for family with small children in spring, autumn and winter. There is almost no shade, so in the summer it might be a bit brutal. The small cafe and the convenience store inside the fortress was nice.

    A beautiful place to visit. They did a lot of work to make the place nice. Beautiful old ruins. Refreshments can be bought and there are lots of hidden places to go through.

    Recently very well renovated. This place is a pleasure to visit! There are great guided tours, with lots of interesting information. Paved paths around beautifully cared for grounds. We've been several times, and there's always something interesting to see and learn. We plan on coming back soon.

    Nice place to spend a Saturday noon. Historical recovered castle with a beautiful view to Gush Dan (TLV and it's suburbs), surrounded by green paths

  • 5/5 Evgenia S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for family visit, easy walk. The best time for it is winter and spring, when all around is green.

  • 5/5 Nomi H. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful trails where you can see ancient castles right near modern buildings. Bathrooms, cold drinking water, shady areas to sit.

  • 3/5 Julia M. 2 years ago on Google
    Hoping to update this review once the park feels completely open. There is a beautiful fortress, but not enough information given about it (via brochure or signs), nor is it completely accessible. It's nice that at after the climb up to the fortress, there is a pleasant courtyard with a store and Cafe. Even the picnic tables seem to lack any shade (waiting for the newly planted trees to grow?). Not worth paying, but if you have the yearly pass and it's not far away, it's a nice and quick stop.

    A pretty national park with much history, flaura, old mines and views in the midst of the most populated part of the country. Plenty of parking. Has both walking and bicycling trails. On the Saturday we visited 3 different guided tours were offered. We took the hour and a half tour and were fortunate to have a very knowledgeable and pleasant guide, Moody Rabfogel, who brought out the best of the site.

    Great place for early morning trip. great views.

  • 4/5 Martin R. 2 years ago on Google
    Nicely renovated place with several good looks over the area. Some rooms are open and give an insight what was here hundreds of years ago.

  • 5/5 Asaf C. 2 years ago on Google
    A new national park that just got opened few months ago. Renovation and preservation has not yet completed but even now it's impressive and all the walking paths are completed and there's plenty to see and plenty to walk. If you get a chance for a guided tour - go for it, there's a lot of history to this place which you otherwise won't hear. There's a kiosk and in the future there will be a a coffee shop or restaurant. Entry fee is not expensive and parking is a plenty. Very recommended!

    Beautiful. And connects well with the Antipatros Fort Park "across the road". Not all the walks are open, but the walk around the Fort and the Fort itself were open. I would not drive there especially, but if I'm in the area, it's worth the hour or 2 there. Maybe when they are up and running and fully functional I would give a different review
