Thousands of rare orchid species emit a delightful fragrance in the tropical rainforest, a corner of which we will have the opportunity to visit. The park itself covers an area of approximately 40,000 square meters, protected from inclement weather by a roof.
In the park, you will not only see unique plants but also rejuvenate yourself with a walk among cliffs, pools, and waterfalls interconnected by numerous bridges. Alongside the flora, you can spot animals that have chosen this tropical landscape as their habitat. The flowers here are arranged in such a way that as one variety finishes blooming, another begins, creating a year-round display.
At the center of the park, called "Utopia," within the open garden area, there is a pond with fountains accompanied by music. Additionally, you will find the passage through a two-tiered hill of labyrinths leading to a clearing in the garden, as well as a hill of cacti and pagodas. You can take a rest on the hammock alley, following the spice trail.
Rothschild Park
During our excursion, we will also visit another park located along the Mediterranean coast on the Carmel Mountains, offering panoramic views in all four directions. To the west, you can observe the blue waves of the sea shimmering in the sun and the distant hum of engines on the fast coastal highway. To the east, you will see the curving contour of Mount Carmel and the blurred silhouettes of the hills. To the north, Samaria stretches out.
This park bears a namesake, named after a person who made an invaluable contribution to the development of Jewish statehood during the time when Palestine was still part of the Ottoman Empire. His name is Baron Edmond de Rothschild, one of the descendants of the renowned banking dynasty. It was thanks to his efforts that the first Jewish settlement appeared in the territory of Palestine.

Attractions
The relatively new Museum of Contemporary Latin American Art Rally, located in Caesarea (founded in the last decade of the twentieth century), is a popular destination for tourists. The museum is 700 square meters located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in a park area. The aim pursued by the founders of the museum is to draw people's attention to the visual art of Latin America. Four such museums have already been opened in the world today. Each of them exists without a commercial connotation, that is, admission here is free (which greatly expands the circle of visitors), and the museum has no cafes, no retail outlets, or souvenir shops. Also, on the way to the museum building, guests will enjoy a walk through a cozy courtyard, which contains many sculptures (including sculptures by Salvador Dali) and fountains.
Not far from Zikhron Yaakov (large settlement) is a park built and named after Baron Rothschild. In the depths of the park is the tomb of the baron and his wife.
Entrance to the park is free. The vast territory of the park is well-groomed and equipped. Walking along the paved paths, it is pleasant to admire a variety of plants: here you will find palm trees, acacia trees, and a huge number of beautiful roses in different shades. The park has many neat lawns and small trimmed bushes, there are small artificial waterfalls, as well as man-made ponds, in which there are a lot of lilies and goldfish.
One part of the park called the “Garden of Smells” is specially equipped for blind people. A large number of medicinal plants grow here, publishing pleasant aromas. Near each plant is a tablet with a description in several languages (including Braille).
Utopia was opened in 2006, and it has already become one of the favorite vacation spots for both Israelis and guests. The most convenient way to get here is from Netanya - the park is located very close.
At 40 thousand square meters here is a gigantic collection of a variety of plants. Among them are many unusual - exotic and even predators. And also orchids, replete with flowers and shades, and a separate area dedicated exclusively to roses.
Utopia is not a botanical garden. There is a small animal park where you can admire colorful peacocks, important pheasants, listen to noisy parrots, meet ostriches and sika deer. And then relax, watching the waterfalls and the singing fountain. Go around it: the backlight is different on all sides. After that, refresh yourself at a local cafe, and then welcome to the vibrant green mazes! There are two of them here.
Guests who are brought to the park by a love of nature, on the way back, drop in a shop located at the entrance. It has a good selection of garden care tools, as well as plants, especially orchids, of which there are so many in Utopia.
