    Amazing place with a fabulous panoramic view. Tel Hazor is Canaanitian dwelling place, probably one of an ancient places in the world and mentioned as Biblical city in early 9-th century BC, during the reign of the Omrides. It is indescribable feeling to be today at that place by touching their stuffs like olive press-facility. Highly recommended. There are restroom, parking places in abundance also for disabled people.

    Not amazing as many of the other National Parks in Israel, such as Metsada, Avdat, Beith Shean and many others. First, it is much much smaller. But then it still is very interesting as it is rather different for its historical significance as well as the architecture, the colors of the stones and the structure of the remaining. When you're on your way to the Northern Nature Reserves or National Parks (don't forget to reserve your entry tickets) after the heavy January rains , or the other National Parks, like Nimrod Fortress (much bigger and impressive) or Gamla, you can stop there for half an hour and learn a little more about Israel History. And if you have the Matmon Card which gives you a free entry, then all the better, isn't it? I was there again this October, I was there at sunset, as a closure in a day full of sites and natural reserves and it was the perfect ending. Bottom line, if you pass by this park on your way to Metulla or the Golan, just stop.

    Nice place for archeology buffs. A lot of ruined houses, on a hill, and the highlight for me was the water reservoir, which is a very deep well to which you climb down using many stairs, until you reach a small cave where rainwater was collected. There is a nice activity that each visitor can participate: mud collects over the water reservoir, so the workers of the place fill buckets of this mud to remove it. Each visitor can take a bucket with him when going back up from the reservoir, helping the mud clearing effort. I really liked this game, I felt it was a great opportunity to teach my son about helping and volunteering. Overall it is very similar to tel megiddo. But tel megiddo is more interesting, which is why I gave tel hazor only a 4. It lacks a bit of development for tourists, a short video explaining about the place would be nice. Also I guess the water reservoir of tel megiddo is more impressive, withe more stairs and longer tunnels. All in all great experience for me and my 3 year old son.

    One of the most fascinating places in Israel. This is a Tel. At this place, for tens of thousands of years, humans have been making - then destroying - settlements. They use the stones of the destroyed settlement to build the next. More than 20 cities have been built and destroyed, stretching all the way back to the stone age. Even the vaunted biblical period is just another layer, of no greater significance than any that came before. The water system is simply breathtaking.

    This is definitely worth a visit if you are up in this part of the country. This history with Joshua and the history with the Assyria make this well worth the time. Be sure to visit the water system and the tower. Buy the state park multi site entrance ticket and this is included.

    One of the most impressive sites of Ancient Israel. In a quick visit (an hour or so should generally suffice; if you have more time then take more time to take it in) you can see the remains of an impressive Bronze age (Cannaanite) palace, Israelite high place with cultic monolith (matzeva) dating from the time of the Shoftim (Judges), impressive Israelite city gate and fortifications built by kings Solomon and Ahab, and a massive water system also built during the reign of Ahab. With great views of the Naftali mountains nearby.
