חיפה עם ילדים
Gan and first-grade registration in Haifa happens once a year, in January-February, through the municipal registration centre, and gan tzaharonim are booked at the same time. The municipality lists six declared bathing beaches with lifeguards in season, and the Carmel has the zoo, Gan HaEm and large parks for weekends.
