Free Admission To MadaTech!

Madatech, if you haven't heard of it, is a Science Museum, located in the heart of Haifa. It's a pretty good Science Museum (and we have seen MANY Science Museums in the past 18 years!), and all of my kids (aged 8-17 at the time we went) found things that interested them and kept them busy for our whole day there!

--- Retrieved from http://www.kosherfrugal.com/2016/05/free-admission-is-back-at-madatech.html ---
Normally, it's pretty pricey to take a family to Madatech (base price is 340 shekels for a family of 4 according to the website, and each additional child is 50 shekels), so naturally, when we found out it was free on Wednesdays in February and March, we took a day to go. I wholeheartedly recommend you find a way to go too.
And now, Free Admission is back - Get into MadaTech in Haifa for FREE on Wednesdays in September, October, November, and December.

The following Wednesdays are excluded (admission is NOT free these days):

October 5 (Tzom Gedalya)

October 19 (Chol HaMoed Sukkot)

December 28 (Chanukah)

In addition, please note that the museum is closed on Erev Yom Kippur and Yom Kippur (October 11-12)

This promotion ends December 22, 2016

Opening hours on Wednesday are 10am - 4pm, so plan accordingly!

UPDATE: Tickets are only issued until 2pm, and you cannot get in without one, even though it's free. Be sure to arrive before the ticket counter closes!

Also, I was just told that the museum closes at 3pm, not 4pm as posted above (though I took the times from the museum's website). 

 

Free Science Events!

This year, the annual Science Researcher's Night is scheduled for September 22, so mark it on your calendars today!

There will be free events around the country, at Science Museums, as well as University based research labs, and even some smaller local science labs may get in on the action as well. This year's topic is Gamification.

As soon as the full list is released, I will update the list below with more info.

Last year's list included these venues (and this year will likely be very similar):

Free Admission is BACK at Madatech!

Madatech is a Science Museum, located in the Heart of Haifa. It's a pretty decent Science Museum (and we have seen MANY Science Museums in the past 17 years!), and all of my kids (aged 8-17) found things that interested them and kept them busy for our whole day there!

Normally, it's pretty pricey to take a family to Madatech (base price is 340 shekels for a family of 4, and each additional child is 50 shekels), so naturally, when we found out it was free on Wednesdays in February and March, we took a day to go. I wholeheartedly recommend you find a way to go too.

And now, Free Admission is back! Wednesdays in May and part of June are FREE ADMISSION days at Madatech! The deal is good thru June 15, 2016. Free admission is not valid for school groups or other large groups.
Please be aware that on Yom Hazikaron (Wednesday, May 11, 2016) the museum will be CLOSED so please do not plan to go that day; you'll just be disappointed.

Opening hours on Wednesday are 10am - 3pm, so plan accordingly!

 

FREE ADMISSION to the Bloomfield Science Museum (NOW)!

I hope you are spontaneous!

Today, from 4pm - 10 pm you can get into the Bloomfield Science Museum in Jerusalem FOR FREE!

They will have a digital planetarium show, a show about life on other planets, telescopes (dress warmly) will be set up for viewing the night skies, a family mobile-building project, and more!

English speakers, take note: There will be a lecture in English, given by Korean female astronaut Dr. Yi So-yeon, for an audience of age 12+

There are lots of other lectures and workshops, you can see the full list here.

Have fun!
