The permanent collection of the National Maritime Museum in Haifa is dedicated to the history of shipping in the Mediterranean Basin, the Red Sea, and the Nile and displays models of ships, pottery, coins, stamps, a collection of ancient maps, and old navigation tools. Until 1995, a museum of ancient art operated in Haifa. Upon its closure, its collection was transferred to the Maritime Museum. There are also exhibits of archeological finds such as sculptures and tools from ancient times. The museum has two significant exhibits. The first is mosaics and finds from the excavations at nearby Tel Shikmona. The second is a bronze ram from 102-103 BC. It is probably the largest found from that period. In addition, the museum has recently renewed its face, and it presents rotating exhibits on various topics, also aimed at children. For example, when we visited, the museum put on shows about pirates and sea superheroes. I especially liked the side room, which displays various exhibits from the museum's colossal collection - ones that were not selected for the permanent display but are definitely exciting. Overall a charming museum for adults and children. However, its name - "National Maritime Museum" - is quite pretentious. An Israeli national museum that deals with the sea can not ignore topics like Ha'apala (the illegal Jewish immigration to Israel toward the end of the British Mandate period) or the IDF navy. "National Museum" is expected to deal with the whole complex. "Municipal Maritime Museum" sounds more appropriate to me. 🎫 The museum is part of the Haifa Museums Corporation, including the Haifa Museum of Art and the Center for the Arts, the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art, the City Museum, the Mané Katz Museum, the Hermann Struck Museum, and the Museum of Prehistory. There is an option to purchase a discounted weekly ticket that allows a visit to all the museums for seven days. Enjoy 🤗

A visit to a zoo is always a great experience - for children and adults. Haifa's Educational Zoo is located on the slopes of the Carmel mountain and overlooks the Lotem River. Due to its location, the zoo tour includes descents and ascents on a relatively steep slope. However, the garden is primarily accessible with wide walking paths and many rest benches scattered. The management of the place advertises on the official website that there is also a kind of electric train that takes visitors from the low observation point back to the higher areas of the zoo. Unfortunately, I visited with my ten-year-old daughter at a relatively "dead" time, a weekday at noon. The zoo was pretty empty, so the electric train did not work, and even the buffet and petting zoo were closed. And yet - the visit was delightful. As is often the case in zoos, the time of visit is not coordinated with the animals themselves. So, unfortunately, the lion and the white tiger dozed off when we visited them. The bears and the Kangaroos were lazy. However, the various monkeys, birds, and parrots were completely alert and provided impressive acrobatic abilities. We probably arrived close to feeding time, so many of the animals were very active. I highly recommend a visit to the Haifa Educational Zoo - but without rushing. The ups and downs require a slow and calm stay. So make time and come for a walk in a beautiful and surprising place. 🚂 For people with walking difficulties, it is recommended to check before arrival if the electric train is running. 🎫 There is an entrance fee.
