    Amazing location, lots to see, good for kids because no need to read to enjoy. If you have kids that can’t walk well will be a bit harder as strollers aren’t great on paths and can’t go in the caves....

Bet Guvrin-Maresha National Park, Kiryat Gat - Tripadvisor
This is a Heritage site, inscribed as a “microcosm of caves”. There are several distinct areas inside the park that are connected by walking paths but are more efficiently reachable by navigating the main circular drive. My slight downgrade in the rating is due to my own fault of getting to Bet Guvrin with less than two hours to spare in the afternoon, coupled with the park management practices of restricting access way ahead of the closure.
