Summer in Jerusalem – Cool Nights, Hot Adventures, and Family Fun All Around

People come to Jerusalem in summer just for that magical evening breeze – crisp mountain air that has you reaching for a sweater even in August.
But the real surprise? There’s so much to do during the day too!

1. Splash through history – Water tunnel adventure in the City of David
Step into cool, flowing water as you walk through Hezekiah’s Tunnel – a dark, narrow, and fascinating ancient passage.
Bring sandals and flashlights – and enjoy a refreshing and historic summer thrill.

2. Teddy Park – Fountains, fun, and family time
Right near Mamilla, the musical fountain at Teddy Park is pure joy for kids (and adults!).
Bring a picnic blanket, swimsuits, and watch the little ones laugh, jump, and splash in the cool spray with local Jerusalem kids.

3. Beat the heat – Jerusalem’s museums are calling
Did you know Jerusalem has nearly 60 museums?
This summer, escape the heat and explore some of the city’s best:
The Herzl Museum, the Begin Heritage Center, the Museum of Music, and Friends of Zion – all air-conditioned, educational, and perfect for families.

4. Dive into the new Aquarium
Next to the Biblical Zoo lies Jerusalem’s spectacular new aquarium – home to 40 marine species across 33 tanks, including a massive 1.6-million-liter tank!
Who says there’s no sea in Jerusalem?
Make sure to book your tickets in advance.

Wishing you a cool, exciting, and unforgettable summer in Jerusalem – with the whole family!
