Summary
Shvil Hatapuzim is a lovely attraction for families with younger children. Most of the kids I saw there were probably younger than ten years old.
During our latest visit, we spent about half a day there. And you can make it a whole-day attraction if you have a picnic there. My kids enjoyed this attraction, and there is a reason it has kept a high rating over the years.
