The Tisch Family Zoological Gardens will be on your left. Note that parking is available near the entrance, but it may incur a fee, typically around 10-20 shekels for a few hours.

  To reach the zoo via public transportation, locate the nearest bus stop and take bus number 18, 32, or 66. These buses run frequently from various parts of the city. Stay on the bus for approximately 20-30 minutes depending on your starting point, and get off at the 'Zoo' stop, which is directly outside the Tisch Family Zoological Gardens. A single bus ticket costs about 5.90 shekels.

• Taxi

  For a more direct route, consider taking a taxi. You can hail one on the street or use a ride-sharing app. The taxi ride should take around 15-20 minutes from the city center, depending on traffic, and will cost approximately 30-50 shekels.
