Israel Aquarium

Come visit Israel‘s first aquarium!

The Israel Aquarium is a unique center that presents the aquatic habitats of Israel, focusing on conservation, research, education, and raising public awareness of the conservation of the sea and its beaches.

A visit to the aquarium includes a passage through Israel’s four seas – the Mediterranean, The Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, and the Red Sea. On your visit, you will encounter approximately 200 species of creatures that live in the sea at the various spectacular exhibits. You will be able to see up close the famous clownfish, boxfish, groupers, eels, seahorses, soft corals, various jellyfish, sharks, and many others.

At the center of the aquarium is an open ray pool, in which swim various types of stingrays. The highlight of the visit comes as you pass through a tunnel that simulates an under-sea visit, with fish and sharks swimming overhead.

Behind the Scenes tour every Thursday!

Every Thursday at 5:00 PM, there is a behind-the-scenes tour into the fascinating world of the aquarium’s sea creatures. You’ll experience the secrets, feedings, explanations, and up-close encounters with these most spectacular swimmers.

Details and registration are available at the Israel Aquarium website.
