    Nice park for a relaxing walk. There are picnic areas and parking. The photos were taken at the end of winter.

    Great place for families with young children. Even when it looks crowded, there is enough place for parking and traveling. The entrance is for free.

    Very nice place for whole family, including picnic places, big botanic garden with nice paths for baby buggy and finally nice wood with marked trails for hiking. The botanic garden includes small lakes and a small river. Also a plant maze. I was there with my wife and my 6 months daughter and we enjoyed it very much.

    It is a very beautiful forest with paved paths all over. There is also a museum that can be opened by appointment. The forest has hundreds of different trees, marked with plaques, describing what type, where it comes from and it's characteristics. You are allowed to walk your dog there as long as it's on a leash, and the owner cleans up after the dogs ablutions.

    Nice place for picnics and small walks. A coffee shop is missing there that would make the place more attractive!

    As a picnic place it is very nice. We went for the aboritum itself and were fascinated.

    My first 'discovery' in Israel. Hundreds of labeled tree species along wife walking paths, most of them foreign to a Pacific Northwestener like myself, with lots of species from Australia, Africa, South America, and Europe. My three year old loved going from tree to tree and seeing the different needles, seeds, etc. The bathrooms were very clean, and there were plenty of picnic tables and benches. We only visited the forest on the east side of the highway. It appears there used to be a trail under the highway connecting it to the forest on the west side of the highway, but it is closed now, so we didn't visit that side. Highway noise is significant, but not a deal breaker for us. I'll probably schedule future visits when there is less traffic. Oh, and there is a brochure available in English next to the map sign in the parking lot. We live close and will be back soon.

  • 5/5 erez l. 2 years ago on Google
    Very accessible, alot of information around

  • 4/5 Eva Z. 11 months ago on Google
    It's a very nice arboretum, but a little too close to the highway and you can hear the noise from most parts of it. Also there arent many flowers.

  • 5/5 Ari L. 10 months ago on Google
    What a terrific place to come, sit and relax. Lots of trees with great names! Plenty off parking and nice bathrooms.

  • 4/5 Alex J. 1 year ago on Google
    There's nothing fancy or unique here, but being a nice green island along the highway, with free entry and reasonably sized area to explore, makes it a great place to visit.

  • 5/5 shari c. 8 months ago on Google
    A magical little spot in the middle of road 4 to get away from the noise of everyday life and into nature. Lots of shaded parking, clean toilets, loads of water fountains throughout and all wheelchair/ buggy accessible. If you download the app there are 3 different games to play navigating around the park and teaching you about the different trees. Good for kids age 8+. Unfortunately the visitors centre wasn't open (check in advance on the website) but will definitely go back when it is. Tovit was very helpful and is obviously passionate about educating. Great way to pass 2-3 hours (if a little hot!).

    Great for a walk, even with a stroller. Some picnic tables. And there's a real maze for kids in the middle!

  • 5/5 Julia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't know about this place until I was looking for a short attraction in the area - glad I found it! We arrived before the Visitor Center opened, so we walked around the arboretum until we reached the maze - so cool! We could have spent more time walking around but we were on a tight schedule. The Visitor Center was really great - interesting movie, fun pop quiz and other interactive exhibitions, all in one hour. The staff was very sweet and helpful.

  • 5/5 BizPro G. 3 years ago on Google
    A very nice park, with walking roads and different kind of trees with name tags attached, and QR codes to scan for more info. wc available. Shadow spots and sits around. Off road parking that do the job. Entry is a little risky due to tight lane due to parking cars on the side of the road.

  • 5/5 David F. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful magical Arboretum. A quiet walk in nature or a bicycle 🚲 ride with the kids - this is the place.

  • 4/5 Peter B. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely park. Only downsides are that there are no physical maps in the walkways and the close distance to the highway which is noisy, to say the least

  • 5/5 Smadar K. 1 year ago on Google
    A somewhat randomal collection of trees from across the globe - makes a fantastic walk! Very good picnic facilities, a real gem.

  • 5/5 Uri H. 1 year ago on Google
    A variety of special trees and a cool place for an outdoor snack. At the far end there is a cool maze built from trees and bushes.

  • 3/5 Arye B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice if you are in the area. Rainy season is probably the best time of year to visit. If you are always in Kadimah then worth a visit!

  • 4/5 Omer L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for family picnic and bicycle

  • 5/5 Gabriel F. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place. Worth visiting, especially with family and children.

  • 5/5 Amir T. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place. The walking road across the botanical garden is really beautiful, and suitable strollers and wheelchairs. There are several picnic benches near the exit, and clean facilities

  • 4/5 Nir O. 2 years ago on Google
    All the trees ever brought to israel for acclimatization and planting. Signs on each tree tell you what it is. Very interesting. Large site.
