Ancient Shiloh is beautiful.

Susya is an amazing example of how a halachic town is built according to the gemara. Plus cool escape tunnels and stories of Jews fighting Roman-era bandits.

There's a lovely stalactite cave near Beit Shemesh, with a steep but family-friendly trail leading to it.

Itamar has a lot of farm-based tourism in its hilltops. There are wonderful things to explore and touch and try - cheese making, weaving, pottery, plus egg collecting and playing with lambs and puppies. Smile

Latrun has a tank museum where the kids can climb on a bunch of them. Different, and also good, is the Givat Hatachmoshet memorial site -- you can reenact trench warfare there with your kids, and imagine how the Jews had to conquer the hill.
