The city has a number of large shopping areas such as the Naimi Mall, Ramat Beit Shemesh Shopping Area (Merkaz Mischari), and Outdoor Big (strip mall); with much more under construction.

1. Stalactite Cave Nature Reserve


The fascinating cave is located in a suburban area. It is a small cave but the stalagmites and stalactites are varied and very beautiful. The audio visual at the beginning is wonderful.
There are many guided tours in multiple languages; English, Arabic, Spanish, and more. The guided tours are short and designed to provide adequate information for learning. There are a number of stairs to go down to reach there and then climb so beware of that.

A combination of Biblical lore with naturalist knowledge, the museum is worth the trip to Beit Shemesh, especially if you or your kids like reptiles. The guide takes you on a tour, in which you learn about animals native to Israel, which are Kosher and which are not and why. The hour and a half tour are very informative and interactive. There are furry animals, reptiles, lots of shells, skulls, and eggs to touch along with a great photo opportunity with a giant snake.

5. Tzora Vineyards

If you appreciate wine, then Tzora is one of the wineries to visit. This boutique winery produces some of the best wines in Israel. The October 2016 issue of the Wine Spectator listed their Misty Hills with the highest score of 93, as well as Judean Hills 2014, Judean Hills White 2014, Shoresh White Judean Hills 2014, and Shoresh Red Judean Hills 2014 in their recommended wines from Israel. The winery is located at a very pleasant spot, and the tasting room is very nicely presented. Reminiscent of old-world wine regions where more emphasis is placed on terroir than grape variety.
