• A series of galleries that offer immersive stories told in two- to three-minute increments via floor-to-ceiling video projections.
• A thrilling 4-D, 100-seat motion theater, conceived by former Disney Imagineers, where guests can experience “Wings Over Israel”, a full sensory “hang gliding” tour of Israel complete with sights, sounds and scents.

• A curated botanical garden for moments of quiet reflection.
