This "museum" is not a repository artifacts but consists of a fascinating 90 minute walkthrough of various rooms in which audio-visual presentations are made showing the history of the Palmach, a fighting force founded during the British Mandate in what was then called Palestine, and which particpated in Israel's War of Independence before becoming absorbed into the Israel Defence Forces....

Worth the visit if you are in Tel Aviv. Takes you through the training and assignments of 7 recruits while they go through various life changing events. Unique and novel way of showing the history of this period.

Returned to this establishment since the kids grew up and seemed to have forgotten the previous visit. Book ahead, as its not a place to visit spontaniously, and park at the nearby Israel museum or public parking (if lucky)

Museum is like a historical Disney ride. Great education but kids need to be over 10-12 years old to appreciate it.

This is a one of a kind museum. It is small, but huge in content. Once you enter, it's as if you've taken a step back in time, to the days of the Palmach. One experiences sounds and sights of the time, and you feel as if you are right there (like being in a time machine). Great museum with... More

If you wish to better understand the history of Israel and Zionism it's an absolute must visit along with the following museums and centers: Yad Vashem, The Begin Center. Order in advance so you could get the English tour. The only slight negative criticism i have about the Museum is the negative light in which they show the other underground... More

They give you a small tour in which they present a story of a group of soldiers. It is very well presented. I recommend going to see it. You have to reserve in advance.

Very much worth a visit. Plan ahead as English-language tours are somewhat limited. Set up as a series of scenes through which you walk with prototypical actors serving as proxies for actual Palmach fighters in the War of Independence

We were told to make reservations in advance as they had limited touring and they fill up quickly.The positives -procedure for booking was excellent, my emails were promptly returned, we were contacted when they changed our reservation for an earlier time and confirmed each step. The young soldier was very enthusiastic in her telling of the Palmuch experience before we... More
