About
Yamit 2000 is a free water playground in the Tel Aviv metro area offering a refreshing escape from Israel's summer heat. With interactive water features, sprinklers, and shallow pools designed for younger children, it's a popular spot for families looking to cool off without the expense of a traditional water park.

- ✓Completely free admission, rare for water attractions
- ✓Multiple water play zones with varying intensity levels
- ✓Open seven days a week throughout summer season
Pro Tips
- 1.Note that the venue is actually located in Holon, not central Tel Aviv, so plan transportation accordingly. It's about a 15-20 minute drive from downtown Tel Aviv.
- 2.Arrive early (right at 9:00 AM opening) during summer weekends to secure shaded spots, as it gets very crowded by mid-morning.
- 3.Bring water shoes for kids as the ground can get very hot, plus sunscreen, hats, and plenty of drinking water. There's limited shade so consider bringing a pop-up tent if allowed.
- 4.The facility is free, which is rare for water attractions in Israel. However, bring cash for nearby snacks and drinks as card acceptance may be limited at small vendors.
- 5.Friday hours end earlier at 5:00 PM due to Shabbat preparations, so plan accordingly if visiting on a Friday.
Best Time to Visit
Visit on weekday mornings (Tuesday through Thursday) between 9:00-11:00 AM for smaller crowds. Peak Israeli summer (July-August) offers the hottest weather perfect for water play, though June and September provide warm temperatures with fewer visitors.
What to Know
Admission is completely free. The venue is located in Holon (neighboring city to Tel Aviv), so factor in transportation time. Limited food options onsite, so consider bringing snacks and drinks.
Seasonal Notes
Primarily a summer attraction operating when temperatures are warm enough for water play. The facility may have reduced hours or close entirely during Israel's winter months (November through March) when temperatures are cooler. Best visited May through October.
