Kings City

Sun, sea and sand always make for happy children but Eilat also offers family fun beyond the beach. One of the most popular kid-friendly attractions is Kings City - a biblical themed amusement park set inside a palace.

Children and parents alike will particularly enjoy the hands-on fun of the Cave of Illusions and Wisdom where optical tricks baffle the brain. Will it be you or the kids who find the real exits in the mirror maze, or best make your wobbly way around a house whose floors and walls are not quite as they first appear?

Elsewhere there are spiral slides, a ‘4D’ film which brings tales of the Pharaohs to spectacular life and a network of caves where moving models depict key scenes from the Bible.

The main attraction however is the King Solomon's Falls, a boat ride that takes you through animatronic scenes of the biblical king's life and ends with a splash in the lake outside.

Kings City is open until late most nights so it's a good bet if the children have spent all day on the beach and still have energy to spare.
