About Eretz Tzvi Park
Eretz Tzvi Park is a family park established in 2016 by Zvi Adiv (after whom the park is named) and his sons. It is a paradise of nature, full of various animals and nature in the heart of Sharon.
The park is essentially a rehabilitation farm for injured wild animals. We work in fruitful cooperation with the Nature and Parks Authority and the Safari Wildlife Hospital in Ramat Gan. Throughout the park, you can see various animals that undergo rehabilitation with us and then are released back into the wild. If they can’t, they stay to live with us, receive the care they deserve, and we give them the right to life.

What can you find at Eretz Tzvi Park?
In the park, you can find different types of birds, sheep, lizards, snakes, turtles, and other types of animals. You can feed sheep and parrots and pet different animals. There is also a playground for small kids, water slides, soap bubbles shower every round hour, a small soccer field, a crafts corner, picnic tables (you can bring lunch), and a kiosk.
Also, the attraction that my kids loved the most was a variety of pedal go-karts (there are small ones for kids, there are for adults, there are go-carts with trailers and more). Here are several photos from the park:
Summary
We spent almost three hours at Eretz Tzvi Park, and it was a lovely experience. Hence, a typical visit will take 2-4 hours (depending on whether you bring a picnic basket).
Our kids enjoyed it a lot, and one of the pluses of this park is the greenery and shade. However, as you can see from the photos, the attractions at this park are aimed at families with small kids. Older kids will get bored at the playground and the water slide.
