The ARL Family Field Guide

Driving days

Ordered stops, meal timing, skip-if-tired, and seasonal cautions. Not an AI itinerary.

Coast North With Children

A Sharon-to-Carmel day that alternates water, stones, peacocks, and a paying cove. Built for families who will not last on ruins alone.

Rosh Pina Food and View Day

Bakery first, Hwy 90 burgers at Mahanayim if that is lunch, Nimrod’s lookout and HaNadiv Street, Koji at dusk (pizza next door is a note, not a second pin). Grocery and Landwer are on the commercial strip. Playgrounds nearby stay unpublished until named. The mountain pull-off above Safed stays off the published map.

Hula Valley Kid-Win Day

Sandals, a shallow Jordan sit-down, gelato, gallery coffee, optional Beit Hillel pizza, optional Kurlender dairy.

Golan With a Playground Finish

Cafe Sam Sam, a Friday stone bakery, lavender next to Pelter, optional Elka, then Katzrin Family Park — the finish the children will refuse to leave.

Jerusalem With Room to Breathe

Coffee, Ofaimme’s farm table, a serious park, the old rail corridor, a popsicle at the far end of the tracks, First Station. Stones optional; oxygen is not.
