    There's construction work right in front of the entrance and no parking at the destination Google maps sends you too. You need to park in the bus terminal near by (There's parking for cars there). You pay as you exit and they don't accept Amex. The ammunition Hill itself is worth the visit. Plan on at least 2 - 3 hours to get the full experience. Fun game with kids - Hide yourself in the tunnels and see if your kids can conquer it from you.

    Nice place thst tells the story of 6 days war and the battle on ammunition hill. The tour is nice but the best are the 15 minutes movie that tells the story of the war visually and the museam with audible instructions. Learned a lot and enjoyed it.

    As a past Israeli student and soldier, I felt overwhelmed to see and experience what I've been taught about the Six Days War 1967. Today, the site serves as a center for the legacy of the Six Day War that tells the story of the fighters about Jerusalem. Great place to visit, kind receptionists, explanation in different languages as well! Highly recommend this site!

    A wonderful place to visit and learn about the special heritage and the bravery of the soldiers who fought and risked their lives here. You can visit the original bunkers, go into the museum and watch a 30 minute movie about the battle.

    This is highly touching place. But start with movie, cos without it you will not understand this place. As I understood they have moovies on Hebrew, Russian and English.

    One of the most important sites in Israel's recent history. It was the scene of violent fighting until the reunification of the city. Today it is a museum in honor of the fighters. There you will see tanks, trenches and tribute plaques.

    Must see place in Jerusalem, especially for its historic relevance from the time of the reunification of the city. The audio guides should be updated technology-wise since sometimes they played a different track than it was supposed to, but besides this minor problem, it is worth to visit. The hill itself is also great, with tanks and other armored vehicles displayed.

    Beautiful and emotional museum and battle site which tells the amazing story of the heroes who fought to defend and unify Jerusalem during the Six-Day War..

    For youth and adults it is highly recommended to book a guided tour that includes the performance and the museum, without them the visit will be casual

  • 4/5 EGKunz 11 months ago on Google • 80 reviews
    This museum is a mix of the good with the not so good. The main museum exhibit really wants you to listen to the audio guide or to have a guided tour. If you, like me, just want to read everything, then be prepared for some disappointment. The signage is sparse, the artifacts few, and the information nothing you couldn’t learn by browsing an encyclopedia. This, however, does not detract from how great the actual fortifications and vehicles at the site are. If you want to feel like you’re walking through trenches, overlooking the same sights that soldiers would have seen decades ago, you will feel that here. So, come for the military aspects and prepare to be underwhelmed by the museum.

    Brilliant museum. I have always had a keen interest in Jewish history and especially their survival in the wars since independence. This museum is well worth a visit if you are in Jerusalem.

    I loved it, we were there for 3 hours tours and a performance

    A must for all who are interested in history and the wars of the state of Israel. Has many trenches, ingeniously designed by the British, probably, while they had a school for policemen near it, in the British mandate era. The trenches were used by the Jordanians in the 1967 war, where many Israeli soldiers were killed along them. It was a hard battle, that took place at night. You can walk the trenches, see a few tanks and armored vehicles, and the memorial for Israeli soldiers that died in the 1967 war. Their is a movie that is coordinated with a model on the ground, strongly recommend for those who don't know anything about the battle. It's in English. I would recommend going with a guide who knows the details, since there is much to learn from walking the trenches that way. Otherwise, some do get bored.

  • 4/5 sastrogo 7 months ago on Google • 49 reviews
    A heritage site, describing the battle for Jerusalem, there is a film and audio-visual presentation, outside there are several monuments as well as the original trenches, and the weapons bunkers. A recommended place to spend about two hours.

  • 4/5 Jasper G. 4 years ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Fascinating look at the events of the 6 day war, it's physical and cultural affects on Israel and its people. Good vehicle collection and nice exhibitions. The authentic Jordanian trench is very interesting, and really brings home the events you've read about in the main museum. It's very near the Ammunition Hill tram station, so easy to get to, but the signage once out the station is dodgy. Just follow up the hill, keeping left, past the car park to reach it. 25 shekels per head as of July 2019.

    Sign and adveritsement say site closes at 5pm. We went in at 3:25pm, payed the full price only to find out that the museum closes at 3:30pm, and that there are no guided tours. I suggest trying this place at 2pm at the latest.

    Really amazing experience at the army expo on Independence day. Really cool, historical facility with access available to everything (including the bunkers which were very cool). They should arrange for a better parking situation when large numbers of attendees are expected.

    An exciting place with tremendous potential and it is very important to pass it on as a legacy for both children and adults to know more about the Six Day War very important!! but ... We visited on the first day of Hocham Sukkot The place is not organized Unorganized tours and burden the stay. One of the female guides was unpleasant to say the least until a guy who helped us at the museum came and made it easy for us and we and the children walked around alone and got a detailed explanation. Even though the girl kicked us out, we're glad we insisted and a charming and kind guy came and gave us headphones and we experienced the museum, we got an amazing explanation. There is room for improvement in organization. You can skip tours, do it yourself with headphones that you will receive and earn. Thanks to the guy who helped and that we insisted anyway The girl leading the tutorial has to pass Training for human relations!!!!
