MoreMy family was told by the concierge desk at our hotel that reservations were not required. We spend $30 taking a taxi to the museum as it is far from Old Jerusalem. We saw another family we knew and waived to them while in line to rent headsets. BIG MISTAKE!! The museum staff told us since we knew the other family they considered us a group and we were required to have a group reservation. We explained they were from the town near us at home and we did not come together. Museum staff insisted we were a group and wouldn’t let us rent a headset or tour the museum without a reservation. No group reservations were available that day. We were shocked and disappointed to be dismissed so summarily based on a silly, false label at such a sacred site.

“A must see in Jerusalem”
We travelled independently by tram from just outside Jaffa gate (city hall/bus terminus) you can buy a ticket from the machines at the stop, we paid by cash, really easy. The stop is at the end of the line, so no problem missing it. You then cross the road and there is a shuttle...
MoreWe travelled independently by tram from just outside Jaffa gate (city hall/bus terminus) you can buy a ticket from the machines at the stop, we paid by cash, really easy. The stop is at the end of the line, so no problem missing it. You then cross the road and there is a shuttle bus stop which takes you directly outside the museum. You can walk though. Entrance is free. Beautiful architecture, cool clean, calming and serene which contrasts well with the harrowing exhibits. You could spend all day here and still not see everything but ensure you include the children’s memorial. Not suitable for young children.
