Overview
Holon is a working-class suburb of Tel Aviv that developed a surprising variety of unique museums and attractions in the early 2010s, quite disproportionate to its size. The city is ideal for families and travelers interested in interactive cultural experiences, offering attractions found nowhere else in Israel like the Dialogue In The Dark exhibition at the Israeli Children's Museum.
