A family vacation with children can be very expensive. Renting a caravan in Eilat is a wonderful way to lower costs significantly and still enjoy vacationing at a desired destination. In the next article, we wrote about all the activities that are suitable for children in Eilat and how to combine them with your vacation in the caravan

Attractions and activities in Eilat

Eilat is an Israeli resort city and as such is full of fun attractions and activities that can be combined with any vacation. We have prepared a list of attractions for children in Eilat:
Ice Park: How come they didn’t think of it before? Ice Mall in Eilat is probably the most unique mall in the country. Dozens of brand stores that make up a circular building in the center: the ice skating park, which is exceptionally large and especially fun. At the Ice Mall you will also find a particularly cool Gymboree Igloo that the children can spend hours in, a variety of facilities for children scattered throughout the mall and an arcade called Babylon. The Ice Mall is located not far from the promenade line on the North Shore, and if you rent a caravan located on the North Shore, you can walk to the Mall on foot.

 

Water Sports: Tubes, bananas, parachutes and many other activities are constantly being renewed that will give you time for fun, laughter, adrenaline and provide the family with an amazing experience. All along the North Shore you will find businesses that operate water sports and operate throughout the day. You can get up in the morning in the caravan and take a walk along the northern promenade and choose a water sports activity. There are also several water sports businesses on the south coast. Most activities are suitable for children of a wide age range.
 
Ball: Although we would love to write in these lines that in Eilat there is a theme park but at least if not, then the famous ball will fill the missing space. Located on the North Shore Promenade just in front of the marina bridge, you will find a huge ball that if you wish, will throw you (or the kids) high into the sky.

 

The Musical Fountain: An initiative of the Eilat Municipality that we really love: A huge fountain located inside a beautiful green park in the tourist center. The children love it and if you arrive in the evening you may also be able to watch one of the musical and colorful shows in the fountain. The fountain is located behind the former IMAX tourist center.
 
On Eilat’s official tourist site you will find almost all the city’s attractions. We recommend visiting the site before arriving.

Nature surrounding Eilat

A mountainous desert landscape, a fertile sea, a meeting of 3 countries and clear weather for most of the year all together create the unique and amazing view of the city of Eilat. We have organized for you a number of experiential nature activities in Eilat suitable for children:

 Dolphin Reef: From the first moment you enter the Dolphin Reef, you will feel that this is a special beach. Peacocks will welcome you and sometimes even chickens. Crafts for kids, diving club and restaurants are just some of the range of services the beach has to offer. And if you were wondering why the name, the beach has amazing dolphins that are particularly beautiful and friendly. Twice a day you can watch feeding from the floating bridge and if you want you can also go diving / swimming with dolphins. If you are able to find a quiet moment for the children, we recommend indulging in the special Spa on the Water, which combines watsu treatments in 3 relaxing and luxurious pools. The Dolphin Reef is located on the South Shore, if your caravan is located on the North Shore, you can travel on the Egged Bus Line 15 leaving from the station in front of the mall facing the sea or by taxi for about NIS 40.

 

The Underwater Observatory: One of the oldest attractions in Eilat that never fails with the children. Transparent shark tunnel, creatures from the depths of the sea, a dark room, a lighthouse, a glass boat cruise and many other activities that will keep the kids busy for a whole day and a whole week of stories. You will also find a variety of restaurants. The visit to the observatory can be summed up as a fun and educational experience where the children learn a lot about the sea world. The underwater observatory is also located on the south coast. If your caravan is located on the North Shore, you can travel on Egged Line 15 leaving the station opposite the seafront mall or take a taxi for about NIS 40.

 

Botanical Garden: A lovely ecological garden in the heart of the desert where you will find a rain forest! (Yes yes) True jungle in the heart of the desert, an amazing experience for both kids and adults. Activities and events sometimes take place in the Botanical Garden, but even if you arrived in Eilat on dates without special events, a trip to the Botanical Garden is also a special experience. The garden also has a large and colorful nursery, a cafe and lots of fun sections. The Botanical Garden is located at the entrance to Eilat, if you rent a caravan in Eilat you can take a taxi from the caraan location on the north coast which will cost about 25 NIS.
