Teenagers don't want "kids' attractions." They want points, to beat their siblings, something a little scary, and a video they can upload. The good news: Eilat has enough of these to fill a four-day vacation without repeating yourself. If you're also coming with younger children, we have a separate guide to Eilat attractions for kids.

Air-Conditioned Attractions for Teens: Ice Mall and Top 94
Fantasy at Ice Mall — Laser Tag and VR
Fantasy is an attractions complex in the Ice Mall, located on the North Beach, right next to the hotels and promenade. It features group laser tag, a 7D cinema with moving seats, a virtual reality shooting range, a VR "plank of fear," a mirror maze, and a "Dark Ride" zombie shooting track. Eilat operating hours: Sun–Thu 11:00–22:00, Fri 10:30–16:00, Sat 10:30–22:30.
Ice Play — Simulators and Arcade
On the lower floor of Ice Mall, you'll find Ice Play: simulators, VR, arcade games, sports games, and the "Zero Gravity" attraction. Operating hours: Sun–Thu and Sat 10:00–23:00, Fri 10:00–16:30. Especially suitable for evenings, after a day at the beach.
Ice Skating at Ice Mall
The ice rink in the center of the mall is one of Eilat's most iconic attractions. Skating takes place in sessions according to a schedule published on the mall's website, and in summer, it's simply the coolest place in the city.
Top 94 — The Indoor Adventure Park
Top 94 is an indoor, air-conditioned adventure park in Eilat's northern industrial zone. It offers climbing walls, karting, paintball, a ropes course, archery, mini bungee, ATVs, and a shooting range. Most activities are suitable from age 5, paintball from age 14, and the shooting range from age 16. An adventure package (climbing wall, cliff, ropes course, archery, mini bungee, etc.) costs 110 ₪. Open Sun–Thu 10:00–18:00, Fridays until noon, closed on Saturday.
Escape Rooms in Eilat
Escape Eilat operates two branches — on the Dan Hotel promenade and the King Solomon Hotel promenade. The branches are open daily from 10:00 until the last customer, including Saturdays and holidays (except Yom Kippur and Memorial Days). An escape room is an excellent solution for an evening or hot hours, and is suitable for a group of teenagers even without parents in the room.
Sea Attractions for Teens
Introductory Dive
A first dive in the Red Sea is one of the most memorable experiences for teenagers in Eilat. Diving clubs accept participants for introductory dives from age 8, and ages 8–12 dive to a depth of 6 meters. The dive lasts about an hour, with approximately 30–40 minutes underwater, with a personal instructor and no prior experience needed. All details on clubs, courses, and conditions — in the Diving in Eilat guide.
Snorkeling at Coral Beach Nature Reserve
The reserve on the South Beach is the most accessible place to see a coral reef directly from the shore. Entrance: Adult 40 ₪, Child 25 ₪. Snorkeling equipment is not included and rented separately. Hours: 9:00–17:00 in winter, 9:00–18:00 in summer. Tips for beginners in the Eilat Snorkeling Guide.
Water Sports on the North Beach
On Eilat's northern beaches, water sports operators offer jet skis, parasailing, bananas, and tubes. Age requirements vary by activity and operator — ask before paying, and check that there are life jackets and an instructor on the boat. An overview of all options in the Eilat Water Sports and Activities Guide.
Waterland — Eilat's Water Park
Waterland is located at 98 Derech Mitzrayim and is open seven days a week. The park limits the number of daily visitors, so it's recommended to buy tickets online before arriving in Eilat. Operating hours vary by season.
Trails for Teens: Sunrise, Canyon, and Desert
Mount Tzfachot — Sunrise over the Gulf
A circular trail of about 4 km that starts from the hotel area and Eilat Field School. From the summit, on a clear day, you can see four countries — Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia — and Eilat, Aqaba, and Taba. There is no shade at all: leave before sunrise, take about 3 liters of water per person, and hiking shoes.
The Red Canyon
A narrow canyon in the Eilat Mountains Nature Reserve, with dry waterfalls that are descended using pegs and railings. The short circular trail takes about an hour, and there's also a longer route through Nahal Shani. Teenagers love the descents on the rock. Do not go out on days with flood warnings, and in summer, only in the early morning.
Timna Park
KKL's Timna Park is located north of Eilat and is open daily 8:00–16:00 (pedal boats until 15:30). You can rent bicycles, ride pedal boats on the lake, and climb. The ticket is valid for a week. To reach Timna and the trails, you need a car — you can rent a car in Eilat for just one day.
Which Attraction is Right for Which Teen?
Not all teenagers like the same things. Ask them in advance, and in the meantime — here's a rule of thumb:
| If the teen is... | Start with... |
|---|---|
| A gamer, loves screens | Ice Play and the VR shooting range at Fantasy |
| Competitive, loves adrenaline | Karting and paintball at Top 94, Laser Tag |
| Loves puzzles and teamwork | Escape room |
| Loves the sea and nature | Introductory dive, snorkeling at Coral Beach |
| Sporty | Mount Tzfachot at sunrise, Red Canyon, biking in Timna |
| Mainly wants to be with friends | Waterland, an evening on the promenade and at Ice Mall |
If several families are coming together or with friends of the kids, consider shared accommodation — in a villa for several families, teens can get their own floor or wing. Details in Group Vacation in Eilat.

Where to Stay in Eilat with Teens
Teenagers want privacy — their own room, a shower they don't have to wait for, and working Wi-Fi. Therefore, a vacation apartment or villa often works better than a family hotel room:
- Family of 5–6 → Vacation apartments for 6 people in Eilat, with at least two bedrooms.
- Want a pool at home → Villas with a private pool in Eilat — the pool replaces half the attractions during hot hours.
- Want teens to wander alone in the evening → Stay on the North Beach or in the city center, within walking distance of Ice Mall and the promenade. Area comparison in the Where to Stay in Eilat guide.
All properties suitable for families are gathered in Apartments and Villas for Families in Eilat.
