As we present our latest Excursions compilation, please keep the following in mind.

We took great care to present up-tothe-minute information. However, before heading out anywhere, we advise you to verify the hours, inquire about prices, and make reservations in advance whenever possible. Some venues will not let you in once full, and others require reservations even though they did not state so.

Wishing you all a wonderful Yom Tov and a lovely Chol Hamoed experience.
