Touring with Teens
Of course, teenagers are a whole other story! Too cool to enjoy the tiny tots stuff but not old enough to appreciate the adult venues, teens are stuck in the middle. Here are a few activities that are sure to pique their interest (even if they won’t admit it!):
Hit up some water activities. Water activities will keep them moving and having fun. Try snorkeling in Caesarea, banana boating in Eilat, and water hiking in Hezekiah’s Tunnel.
Enjoy nature! Take them on some thrilling hikes, mountain climbing, and ATVing trips to keep their serotonin levels high and their smiles coming on strong!
If you can let go a little, take them to White Night in Tel Aviv. They’ll love you forever! If not, at least let them enjoy the water fight!
Make the most out of your trip to Israel by gearing up for some fun, action, and enlightenment for the whole family to enjoy.
