Chai Kef zoo, Zoo in Rishon LeZion, Israel.

Chai Kef zoo is an animal park and learning center in Rishon LeZion, founded in 1988. It holds about 700 animals of different species, at least 10 of them endangered, arranged along paths such as the entrance path, upper path, Australian yard, African yard, large lake and reptile path. A petting corner and a livestock farm with goats and sheep open on set times.

Chai Kef was founded in 1988 as a joint initiative of the Rishon LeZion municipality and the city company for culture, sport and leisure. It has operated since then as a zoo and study centre, with activities for children and toddlers held on Israeli holidays and school vacations. The lemur enclosure was built in 2023.

The name Chai Kef is Hebrew for "living fun", and the site runs children's activities during Israeli holidays and school vacations. A petting corner with rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and a ferret opens on Saturdays and holidays, while a farm section of sheep and goats can be touched and fed at set times.

The zoo is located along Golda Meir Avenue near the Rishon LeZion interchange and is easy to reach by car or public transport. Since most of the grounds are outdoors, dressing for the weather makes the visit more comfortable.

The petting corner opens on Saturdays and holidays, with rabbits, guinea pigs, long-tailed chinchillas, ferrets and Chinese geese. A separate farm-animal section lets visitors pet and feed sheep and goats at set times. The zoo holds about 700 animals, at least 10 of them endangered species.
