Join a guided children’s tour at the National Library of Israel!
Come discover the Library’s secrets and get to know this remarkable place up close. Together we’ll wander the halls, solve puzzles, explore big ideas, admire the building’s unique architecture, enjoy stunning works of art, and uncover a magical world of books and stories.
Each child receives a special personal activity kit - “A Library Experience” - to help them explore the Library through their own eyes.
Please note:
The tour is suitable for children who can read (ages 5-11).
Tickets are required for all participants over age 3. Adults also require a ticket.
Looking for an enjoyable activity for kids at the National Library? “A Library Experience” is our family activity kit, which invites children to set out on their own journey through our permanent exhibition and discover its treasures in an imaginative and interactive way.
The kit includes a colorful, illustrated booklet that guides children along the exhibition, with activities of exploration, discovery, and creativity. It's perfect for families with curious children who love asking questions and uncovering new worlds!
The kit can be purchased at the information desk, in the main lobby on level 0 (suitable for children ages 5-11).
Please note: The kit is intended to be used during your visit to the permanent exhibition, after purchasing a ticket for independent entry.
