Overview
There are indoor exhibits that include fish and reptiles (with a bible quote about each animal on view). Also interesting, is the children's petting zoo and a large man-made lake near the entrance that is home to dozens of types of birds and an island of monkeys. There is an extensive outdoor area where large animals, such as zebras, elephants and deer, run freely. The end of the large animal tour culminates in a visitor's center in the shape of Noah's Ark. There is a 15 percent discount for tourists, just show your passport to the cashier.Open Hours

The Tisch Family Zoo is not only a quality zoo preserving rare and biblical animals. It is not only a beautiful park where you can go and have a picnic or spend your day sitting on the grass watching birds and monkeys. It is, in a city so intesely charged with religious and national feelings, a place of peace and rest, where you can see people from all the religions and sects in this city coming with their children to find rest and interest. You probably say to yourself: I only have so many days in Jerusalem - why should I spend any time going to a zoo? Well, with all the spiritual tourist attractions being so deeply charged - you need your rest, and this beautiful zoo will give you just that. I really hope you take your time and go see it. Besides, for 35 Shekels or so, you definitely get your money's worth.
