There are 'people' eating at tiny picnic tables in the miniature Jewish National Fund Forests near the ubiquitous green and blue penguin that is the JNF symbol. And, believe it or not, even the miniature gardens leading up to Haifa's Bahai Temple, are real. Haifa, at Mini Israel, is a wonderful mix of water (Haifa Port), religious (the Al Jireena and the Ahmadi Mosques), historic (the Turkish Train Station), and modern (the tomb and memorial site of Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the funny ball-shaped cable cars on the mountain, and the all-important Oil Refineries, steam rising from its towers into the air) features and sights.

Nearby is Acco, the impressive Crusader complex recently uncovered beneath the modern city. In another historically accurate depiction, the country's first cooperative farm, Nahalal, is shown. Laid out in concentric circles, it features buildings, animals and figures.
