SkyField is Israel’s first rooftop extreme park — five Via Ferrata climbing routes, a 35-metre bungee jump, and a giant swing, all installed on the roof of Bloomfield Stadium in Jaffa, with unobstructed views across the Mediterranean to the Tel Aviv skyline. It opened in 2025 and has a specific distinction that sets it apart from other adventure parks in the region: every activity is designed to be fully accessible to visitors who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids. For visitors looking for a genuinely unusual experience that combines urban Jaffa with a significant adrenaline element, it fills a gap that previously did not exist in Israel’s activity landscape.
Via Ferrata: the rooftop climbing routes
Via Ferrata (Italian for ‘iron path’) is a form of assisted mountain climbing where fixed metal rungs, cables, and footholds bolted into a rock or structure allow climbers to ascend challenging terrain without specialist technical knowledge. SkyField has adapted the format for its rooftop setting: five multi-level routes run across the exterior of Bloomfield Stadium’s roof at height, with safety cables running the full length of each route. Participants clip into the cable system with a harness at ground level and remain clipped in throughout.
The routes range from beginner-friendly traversals at lower angles to more exposed sections with genuine exposure (the sensation of height and open air) suitable for those comfortable with heights. None of the routes requires prior climbing experience: the Via Ferrata technique — moving hand-to-rung along a fixed cable — is explained by staff before you start, and instructors are positioned at the more technical sections.
The standout element is the view: the roof of Bloomfield Stadium is roughly 30–40 metres above ground, and the routes circle the structure with unobstructed Mediterranean views to the west and Tel Aviv’s skyline to the north. At sunset, the light conditions are exceptional.
What to bring: closed shoes (mandatory — no exceptions), comfortable athletic clothing, and sunscreen for exposed sessions. The harness and all safety equipment is provided.
Bungee jump
SkyField’s bungee jump is a 35-metre platform jump supervised by trained jump masters. Participants are fitted with a full harness at the jump point, briefed on the jump procedure, and make a single freefall jump from the platform, rebounding on the bungee cord before being lowered to the landing mat.
At 35 metres, the jump is not the tallest commercial bungee in the region, but the Jaffa rooftop setting — jumping from above an active stadium with the sea visible in the distance — makes it distinctive. The jump masters work with participants of varying experience levels, including first-time jumpers; no prior bungee experience is needed.
The bungee is included in the Brave and All Inclusive ticket tiers. For the most capacity-limited element at SkyField, advance booking for a specific jump slot is advisable, particularly on weekends.
Giant swing
The giant swing at SkyField is a pendulum swing launched from height, accelerating participants across the open air over the stadium exterior before swinging back in a decelerating arc. The experience is notable for the sustained sensation of flight at the peak swing arc — the feeling of hanging momentarily at height is quite different from the sharp freefall of the bungee. Many visitors who find the bungee too daunting find the giant swing more manageable while still delivering a significant adrenaline experience.
Like the bungee, the giant swing is included in the Brave and All Inclusive ticket tiers, and an advance slot booking is recommended.
Accessibility
SkyField describes itself as Israel’s first fully accessible extreme park, and the accessibility design is genuine: all five Via Ferrata routes can be completed using adaptive harness systems suitable for visitors in wheelchairs and those with a wide range of mobility conditions. The bungee jump and giant swing also have adaptive configurations.
If you are visiting with specific accessibility requirements, contact SkyField directly in advance to discuss your needs and confirm the equipment available. The park is designed to accommodate a wide range of conditions, and staff are trained for adaptive sessions, but advance notice ensures the right preparation.

Getting there
Bloomfield Stadium sits on Yigal Allon Street, Jaffa, approximately 10 minutes’ walk from Jaffa Clock Tower and 15 minutes from the Jaffa Port and Old Jaffa gallery quarter.
- By bus: lines 40 and 41 from central Tel Aviv serve Jaffa and stop within a few minutes’ walk of the stadium. From Tel Aviv Central Bus Station (Arlozorov area), bus 40 takes approximately 20 minutes
- By foot from Old Jaffa: from the Clock Tower, head south on Yefet Street and turn right on Yigal Allon — the stadium and SkyField signage are visible from the road
- By car: Waze or Google Maps ‘Bloomfield Stadium Tel Aviv’ routes correctly. Street parking is available on surrounding streets; the area is more heavily parked on Saturday flea market days — allow extra time
- By taxi or Gett: from central Tel Aviv the ride takes 10–15 minutes
Combining with Jaffa
SkyField works best as part of a full Jaffa day rather than a standalone visit. The site’s 10-minute walk from Jaffa Clock Tower makes it easy to combine with other highlights:
Saturday combination (flea market day): The Jaffa flea market (HaShuk HaPishpeshim) runs every Saturday from around 08:00 and is at its best before noon. Spend the morning browsing vintage items, antiques, and street food around Olei Tzion Square, then walk to SkyField for an afternoon session. See the Jaffa travel guide for the full flea market logistics.
Weekday combination: Start with a morning walk through Old Jaffa — the galleries, the port, the view south toward Bat Yam — then lunch in one of the Jaffa restaurants, then SkyField in the afternoon. The afternoon sun, lower on the horizon from about 3pm, is particularly good for the rooftop views.
Evening session: Check whether SkyField offers evening sessions, which are available in the longer summer days — the sunset over the Mediterranean from 35 metres is an exceptional vantage point.
Who is SkyField for
First-time thrill seekers: the Via Ferrata routes require no prior experience and are accessible to fit adults and children aged 12+ who are comfortable with heights. The route briefing covers everything you need.
Families with older children: the 12+ minimum age and accessibility design make this suitable for mixed family groups, including children who use mobility aids.
Visitors combining with Old Jaffa: the proximity to Old Jaffa’s art galleries, the port, and the flea market makes SkyField a natural add-on for anyone spending time in this part of the city.
Accessibility travelers: the adaptive design is a specific draw for visitors who want a genuine extreme experience and find that most such venues do not accommodate their needs.
Adventure sports tourists: SkyField is a relatively new addition to Israel’s adventure activity landscape — alongside the climbing, rappelling and canyoning options covered in the Israel adventure sports guide, and the broader accessible travel in Israel guide for visitors with mobility requirements.
See the Jaffa travel guide for the full Jaffa day plan, the Israel adventure sports guide for the wider outdoor activity landscape, and the Israel accessible travel guide for accessibility resources across the country.
