Chai Kef zoo

Chai Kef is a zoo in Rishon LeZion where visitors can see wallabies, lemurs, kangaroos, and different monkey species alongside flamingos, swans, and various ducks. The grounds are organized into separate zones that house each animal group in its own space.

The zoo underwent major renovations in recent years and reopened in 2021 with modern facilities. These improvements enhanced both visitor experience and animal care standards.

The facility provides educational programs that inform visitors about wildlife conservation while offering interactive activities designed specifically for younger audiences.

The zoo sits along Golda Meir Avenue near Rishon LeZion interchange and is straightforward to reach. Visitors should bring appropriate seasonal clothing since the grounds are mostly outdoors.

Upon arrival, children receive a small bag of animal food to feed creatures in two separate petting areas with farm animals and smaller pets. This hands-on experience makes the visit memorable for young guests.
