Bamba Land in Kiryat Gat
The Osem manufacturer of Bamba offers a fun and completely child-orientated experience in “Bamba Land” in their factory at Kiryat Gat. Bamba is made from peanut-butter flavored puffed maize, and is the most popular snack food in Israel, accounting for 25% of its snack food market. A visit is a wonderful activity for families, as well as a grandparent-child treat.

Then you are sure to love my two new books "In and Around Jerusalem for Everyone - The Best Walks, Hikes and Outdoor Pools" and "The Struggle for Utopia - A History of Jewish, Christian and Islamic Messianism". Both books are available on Amazon and in Jerusalem bookstores. Click on each of the titles for information, reviews and purchase information.
Each child receives a passport, and visitors then embark on a guided tour through various themed areas, engaging in interactive group activities that simulate the Bamba production process. This includes harvesting giant corn cobs and navigating peanut butter cloud airships. One never enters the factory floor, although it be seen from a window from one of the rooms. The visit lasts just over an hour.
