    The zoo is very very big and spacious and there are a lot of different types of animals, some of them I saw for the first time in my life. The conditions can be better but overall it's clean. There is a petting area. There are memorial signs scattered all over the place which is a bit weird. There is a free parking outside and a food truck inside. Overall recommended.

    The Tisch Family Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem, popularly known as the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, is a zoo located in the Malha neighborhood of Jerusalem. It is famous for its Afro-Asiatic collection of wildlife, many of which are described in the Hebrew Bible, as well as for its success in breeding endangered species. It was my toddlers first visit to zoo and we all loved it and had a great day there. It took us around 4 hours to walk around it and we couldn’t even see it all. The small train inside is a nice option to get around but it would be better if you could hop on and off on more stops, specially when going with small children. It was super hot weather between 11am - 2pm. After that, some cool wind arrived. For children and whole family this place is one of the good places to visit,Spend quality time together, we enjoyed there. But don't forget to bring a lot of water - hot weather, plus hats. Plenty of beautiful and active animals, was a very entertaining trip.I bought single tickets at the door for 68 shekel. Highly recommended.

    What a fabulous place to find, right in the middle of Jerusalem. Wow. Such a lot to see. Stunning scenery and animals are obviously well looked after. It is a great place for families, and there is a train that takes you around the park/zoo . Thank you for a lovely day out. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

    We visited the Zoo park at the end of June. We saw a lot of animals so close, they are incteadible creatures. It was super hot weather between 11am - 2pm. After that, some cool wind arrived. For children and whole family this place is one of the good places to visit, soend quality time together, we enjoyed there. But don't forget a lot of water - hot weather, plus hats. It will be great if the Zoo will upgrade and make the bigger places for Chetah, elephant, and a few other types.

    This zoo is located next to the aquarium (plans are being made to join the two in the future). This is a fun way to spend the day out with the family. There are so many things to see, penguins, lions, giraffes, flamingos, elephants and more. There are even mini aquarium exhibits and dark rooms with bats and mice.

    (Translated by Google) The park is old and seems to be neglected in the tools and service areas ... although it has a number of rare animal species that look well. The white tiger, the black one, the one bear, the number of birds and the llama, but it needs attention. And a number of roses .. The ticket price is 1 dinar .. The pictures show you the atmosphere of the park in general and the animals in it. (Original) الحديقة قديمة و يبدو انه اصابها الاهمال في الادوات و المناطق الخدمية...رغم انها بها عدد من انواع الحيوانات النادرة و التي تبدو بشكل جيد. النمر الابيض..الاسود..دب واحد..عدد من الطيور و حيوان اللاما لكنه بحاجة الى عناية. و عدد من القرورد.. سعر التذكرة دينار.. الصور تظهر لكم جو الحديقة بشكل عام و الحيوانات بها.

    NO Words! Just get tickets and run! to the most beautiful, the most green and large zoo place. Clean animals and cells!!!!🧹🚿 Many animals and birds are very close to view.!!! * you can see a giraffe from a high bridge where you will become one height * you can go with an overnight stay and buy a night trip to the zoo.🌙 * There are electric cars only for disabled people, but for them it's free! * fans with water are installed on the paths. it cools! * toilets, washbasins, cold drinking water are literally everywhere. * There is a souvenir shop. does not work on Saturday. There are stops for ice cream and sweet drinks. * No restaurants! No food.there are only sausages in the bun in one place for the whole zoo. I advise parents to take food for children from home. Cold drink 330ml or 500ml PRICE from 12 shekels and up! * you cannot smoke in the zoo, I have not seen any special smoking areas. * During pressure hours, from free parking lots to the zoo, you will walk about 500-600 meters 🏃‍♂️ * In the zoo you cannot travel by personal transport. * it is really the coolest zoo in Israel.

    Very small Zoo, if we can call it a Zoo in the first place, maybe a fixed animals show. Not that clean and the cages are small for some of the animals. Good to visit as it is the only available in the area especially for the kids to see such animals in their naked eyes. I wish them to become better with time

    Brilliant zoo. There was an unfortunate incident in which my great- aunt was mistaken for an escaped hippo, and shot with a tranqualizer. She was placed in the hippo enclosure for a few hours, until we reluctantly admitted to the zoo staff that she in fact was an elderly lady, and not a large, angry herbivore. They promptly released her, and were very helpful and understanding.

    It is one of the best places to visit as a family or friends.. suitable for kids of all ages. It has all facilities needed, restrooms, setting space, play groud, snacks shops, and ice cream selling spots. The place is huge, i read once that it is one of the largest zoos in the Middle East! It has a wide variety of wild animals and birds in addition to a kids' area where domesticated animals are found. The signs read in English, Arabic and Hebrew. I recommend purchasing the tickets ahead of going via the website. The process is pretty much easy, and u will get an e-ticket that they scan at the entrance. No more clerks for selling tickets. If you dont buy your ticket online, you will find a machine to purchase from located a few meters before the entrance spot. There are plenty of parking spots (free of charge), but the place is almost always packed! So the earlier you go, the more assurance you find a spot to park. Avoid going there in summer time, it's very hot! I would say the best time to go is Sep- Nov & Feb- Apr. Enjoy your visit!

    גן חיות מקסים. מקום רחב לשבת לעשות פיקניק עם ציליות שחם. מבוכי ילדים בתוך החיות (עכשיו נסגר עקב מצב הקורונה) . גן חיות על רוב החיות , מסקרן ומאוד נעים לצפות. מומלץ לראות אם יש הנחה בארגונים אתם חברים לפני הכניסה לפארק.

    Its a nice zoo, plenty of space and beautiful scenery from Jerusalem mountains and good air even in summer. Zoo itself is wuite standard, we havent seen anything special, but the good thing is that even when its very popular like in the holidays, its not crowded inside thanks to the vast space of the zoo. The parking is a whole other story. 11:00-15:00 it gets so packed you cant move. Recommend to come early or come by public transportation.

    The best zoo is Israel in my honest opinion. It's really big and wide so even if there are plenty of people you it doesn't feel over crowded. The place is very clean and well organized. There are a few shows in different parts of the zoo, which are very informative and well delivered. We will surely come back.

  • 5/5 M H. 5 years ago on Google
    Just the most serene and beautiful zoo I've ever seen in my life. All the animals seemed so happy and would approach you. There is an extensive amount of animals, more than I expected. There is no decent food there so make sure you pack your own.

    Well, I appreciate the renovation this zoo went through - instead of small cages now there are big enclosures with glass windows so locals won't be able to stick anything inside, like they do in other zoos which gives animals some protection. White lions and tigers are magnificent.

    1JD entrance fee People in this country don't know how to look after themselves never mind the animals. Poor conditions , not a zoo it's a back garden. Animals look sad , they have wild tigers and lions. Some looked malnourished. I'm guessing they don't have vets. I'm guessing they are just kept like farm animals. I didn't visit to enjoy myself , I went to see the horrible conditions. The kids banging on the windows annoying the Tigers. I had to make comment on the silly children so the parents could hear me. Let's pray the wild cats get their own back soon on the weird people working there.

  • 4/5 אייל �. 3 years ago on Google
    הגן בסדר, השבילים נוחים והכלובים נוחים לצפייה ויש כמה זוויות צפיה. יש מגוון סביר של חיות כאשר חלקן אפשר לראות מקרוב במה שנקרה מחילות שזה בעצם מחילות שכל כמה מטרים יש פלסטיק בצורת חצי כיפה שאפשר להסתלק דרכו מבתוך הכלוב. יש נוחים לאכילה עם דשא וצל עצים. בחלקים מגן אפשר לראות גם נוף יפה של הרים עם עצים שמחוץ לגן. בגן יש גם רכבת שנוסעת אבל לפי דעתי היא לא שווה את הנסיעה היא עולה שקל ונוסע לא יותר מהירה מריצה קלה ולוקח ולכן היא לא מגיעה לתחנה מהר. עוד אטרקציה נחמדה בגן זה המבוך האקולוגי הוא לא כל כך מאתגר ומאוד כיף.

    (Translated by Google) The biblical zoo is highly recommended for visiting and especially with children. Extensive lawns, high level maintenance, there is also a large and worthwhile playground, a train that takes to the top level, a nice cafeteria. With a swimming pool, etc. In addition, there are many nearby attractions, such as Ein Yael, an adventure park, Malcha Mall, Ein Lavan, Ein Chania and more. The garden is very busy rescuing animals and extinct species, as well as acclimating various animals. Not many know , But beyond the public visits, there is the employment of populations with special needs as well as afternoon classes and summer camps for animal-seeking youth. Cons: Very busy during holidays and vacations, at the height of summer it is very hot and there is almost no shade for the walking paths, and there are some really small cages (for example for tigers) that really hurt ... (Original) גן החיות התנכ"י מומלץ ביותר לביקור ובמיוחד עם ילדים. מדשאות נרחבות, תחזוק ברמה גבוהה, יש גם גן שעשועים גדול ושווה, רכבת שלוקחת למפלס העליון, קפיטריה נחמדה. רוב הכלובים מדמים את מקום המחיה בטבע והם גדולים ורחבים, למשל לפילים יש שטח ענקי עם בריכה לרחצה וכו'. בנוסף יש אטרקציות רבות קרובות, כמו עין יעל, פארק אתגרי, קניון מלחה, עין לבן, עין חיניה ועוד. בגן יש עיסוק רב בהצלת בע"ח ומינים נכחדים, וכן איקלום בע"ח שונים. לא הרבה יודעים, אבל מעבר לביקורי הקהל, יש שם העסקה של אוכלוסיות עם צרכים מיוחדים וכן חוגים אחהצ וקייטנות לנוער שוחר בע"ח. חסרונות: עמוס מאד בחופשות וחגים, בשיא הקיץ חם מאד ואין כמעט צל בשבילי ההליכה, וכן ישנם כמה כלובים ממש קטנים(למשל לנמרים) שממש כואב הלב...

    (Translated by Google) I would expect them to invest in windows without reflection so that it is really possible to see the animals and not yourself in reflection. And if not then at least clean and replace the windows. We could not see any animal through the glass due to scratches and dirt. There was also a guy named Jacob who delayed us for almost an hour at the entrance with children and babies because of his nonsense and mistake. Really cheeky. In short a disappointment. (Original) הייתי מצפה שישקיעו בחלונות בלי השתקפות שיהיה באמת אפשר לראות את החיות ולא את עצמך בהשתקפות. ואם לא אז לפחות לנקות ולהחליף את החלונות. לא הצלחנו לראות שום חיה מבעד לזכוכית מרוב שריטות וליכלוך. היה גם בחור בשם יעקב שעיכב אותנו כמעט שעה בכניסה עם ילדים ותינוקות בגלל שטות וטעות שלו. ממש חוצפה. בקיצור אכזבה.

    One of the most diverse and nicely designed zoos I've ever visited. The animals seem to have sufficient space (it's not the wild but comparing to other zoos), attractions and overall seem much happier than in other places. The place is huge and mostly well shaded. If you like to learn and interested in animals you might consider 3 hours and even more for this place.

  • 4/5 Jonathan J. K. 2 years ago on Google
    We came there during the holiday season. It was crowded but not packed. People were not wearing masks as Covid restrictions required, so it meant that we avoided closed spaces and kept only to the open air attractions. Some attractions are not as fascinating as zoos we've visited abroad. The apes and big cats, for example, are very minimal with a huge distance. If you're there to enjoy and not just to take time where kids are entertained and you can rest, bring a real camera and not a cellphone.

  • 2/5 Ilya S. 2 years ago on Google
    It used to be a nice zoo, but it deteriorated in past couple of years. Many expositions are now closed, the glass of an aquarium where they keep otters is covered with duckweed to the point you cannot see through it. There are many other cages which look like no one cleaned them for weeks. Toilets run out of paper by noon and they tinkered flushing device in men's urinals so that it instead of flushing it disperses urine all over the place. I used to visit this place frequently, but now it became unpleasant experience. I wonder whether there was some "restructuring" of the Zoo's management in the past couple or years ... it is hard to believe that people who used to keep the Zoo a tidy and welcoming place had suddenly decided to abandon it.

    One of the real perks of living in Jerusalem, the zoo is chock full of interesting animals in innovative, caring habitats. It's also spacious and green, and there's a little lake, so even on hot vacation days it doesn't usually (there sre some exceptions like special celebrations) feel crowded. There are slso special interactive attractions at set times. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Aaron G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent zoo - great animal selection and availability. Elephants, monkeys, giraffe, lions, leopards, snakes, ibex, zebras, and the best part was the close up look at the kangaroos. However, for being called the Biblical Zoo, i expected much more reference to the Bible and verses pertaining to specific animals on display. If that's why you are going, it's not worth it. Otherwise, it was a great experience. As with everything, get there when it opens at 9am and go left (everyone always goes to the right), so you'll have a less crowded experience.

    The board walk that crosses the African savannah section is a really great way to view the giraffe, antelope, rhino and zebra. The other exhibits, while spacious are mostly viewed from ground level. Another highlight is the birds of prey aviary where you can see eagles, vultures and other species at close quarters.

    Pretty nice place. Good variety of fauna, some can be contacted directly without any fences between you and the animals (e.g lemurs, kangaroo).

  • 5/5 Kathy S. 11 months ago on Google
    Most people don't travel to Jerusalem for the zoo or aquarium! Especially if you come the long and expensive way from the US that has the best and biggest zoos and aquariums (Los Angeles, San Diego). So, when my son asked me to take him, of course I was reluctant. But so glad I went! The zoo is relatively small but packed with super interesting animals from all places in the world. You are very close to the animals, and in some cases, in the enclosure with them! This was the case with the lemurs (King Julian from Madagascar). You literally go into their living space, and although you cannot touch them, you can just hang out and they will come to you and even try to look in your bag. And it is not like other zoos where you have a couple of each animal. They had a LOT of them, like dozens of kangaroos, many with babies in their pouches (we actually saw a couple of them stick their head out). There are 3 elephants that seem pretty happy unlike the one I saw a few years ago at the LA zoo, which made me not want to go to zoos.... The small mammal and "dark" habitats were great, and again, plenty of each animal and most of them were visible and active. HIGHLY recommend this zoo for anyone who wants to take a break from seeing all the historic sites. Also, you can get a combo ticket to the aquarium which is a short shuttle ride away, and also surprisingly really good.

  • 4/5 Enno R. 11 months ago on Google
    A nice zoo in terms of animals and care, but it's partly having an old-fashioned layout--with separate enclosures and lots of concrete. It could use an update to a more open, less boxy layout, especially for the larger animals like elephants. Still, it's a great place for a visit with the family. Great playground for the kids.
