Although the Tel-Aviv or rather Ramat Gan Safari Zoo is an interesting day out for kids it is not really on a par with international zoos. In fact although called a "safari" it is about 10% safari and 90% zoo. When you enter the Ramat Gan Safari by car you drive through about 3 km of open ground with animals roaming freely and even coming up to your car, after that you drive into a parking lot, get out of the car and spend the rest of the visit is spent in the zoo. On leaving the Ramat Gan Safari you once again drive through the safari area and also through a lion enclosure.
A visit to the Ramat Gan Safari can take between 3 - 5 hours depending on your speed. There are toilets, restaurants, a petting zoo and in the summer even kids shows within the zoo. Entrance is 57 shekels for anyone over 2 years old. There are also discounts for groups. You can also enquire about a visit to the Safari at night!
