Before Visiting
I suggest making several checks before visiting. First, check what is currently available for self-picking and at what times. We visited at the end of November and picked raspberries. But since there were not many fruits, they said that raspberries are guaranteed only till 10:00.
Also, check if there are any planned events. And lastly, consider pre-booking tickets. I heard that on Saturdays, they might run out of tickets.
As you can see from the following sign, there was a circus show, musical workshop, and other events during our Saturday visit.
We entered the farm a little before 9:00 and were among the first visitors.
The place is not big, but there are different complexes with various activities for kids.
Self-picking Raspberries
Since the raspberries were guaranteed till 10:00, we started with self-picking.
The self-picking area is not big, and you can not compare it to a place like Agronen Self-picking in Gedera. But remember that self-picking is only one of many attractions this farm offers.
Playground Area
In the playground area, you can find various games – small games like tic tac toe and bigger games like mini soccer. An additional activity (preparing orange juice from oranges) was offered at extra pay.
In this complex, you can find sitting places and a food truck. We were not impressed with the food options, so we did not purchase anything.
Circus Show
The circus show lasted a little more than half an hour. And it was a lovely one-person performance.
Additional Activities
After the circus, we joined the 10:30 musical workshop. It mainly consisted of kids playing on objects that mention drums.
Around noon, after additional activities, we left the farm.

Summary
The visit to Meshek haPark was a lovely experience, and the kids loved it. There are various attractions, and you can easily spend a half day with the family. The only downside is the entrance fee, especially for big families. But I did not see any coupons online.
