The Israeli Children’s Museum, Holon – Visitors Guide

The Israeli Children’s Museum is distinct because it offers engaging activities for children instead of traditional exhibits.

Activities at the Museum

This museum does not have traditional exhibitions. It offers an array of workshops, and you can visit the museum only by joining one of the activities. There are activities for children from 2.5 years old to those over 12, as well as family activities.

The Beatles – Activity for Families

Recently, we participated in the Beatles activity, and I will talk about it in this section.

I purchased tickets for the Beatles activity for the four of us (two children and two parents). As the museum suggested, we parked near Yamit 2000 and went from there. Since it takes time to reach the museum and find your activity within it, I recommend arriving at least fifteen minutes in advance.

Here are several photos:

After presenting tickets at the entrance, we were directed to a building where the activity occurred. After signing up, we started our tour with a short movie. Here are several photos from our activity:

After an approximately 15-minute movie, we were divided into smaller groups (about 15 people in each group). And a guide joined each group.

After discussing our music preferences, we learned about the Beatles` history. Then, we played a trivia game. At the next step, we played one of their songs while wearing special clothes (and somebody was recording us). Then, we went to a music studio, where we learned and got to play musical instruments. Then, we were shown how songs are recorded.

Our last activity was on tablets. Each person created a clip for one of the Beatles` songs.

Summary

The Beatles Activity lasted about two hours, and adults and kids enjoyed it.

The Israeli Children’s Museum has a high rating (4.6 based on almost 4,000 Google reviews). After visiting the Beatles activity, I understand the high rating. It was an interactive activity with a lot of hands-on experience. Hence, it was fun for both kids and adults.
