As a member of one of the prestigious Carnegie Libraries, Centralia Timberland Library was built with donations from 19th-century industrialist Andrew Carnegie. After browsing through the extensive reading sections, you can also browse the internet on the public use computers. Special events are held throughout the year for all ages, such as the annual Christmas Tree Lighting.

This special zoo took up the task to train animals for living in the wild. Ostrich, antelope, oryx and co are nurtured in a sanctuary until they are fit enough to be released again. A visit is a fun experience for the whole family.

Constructed around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in the north-western part of the Old City, the area is home to several Christian sights. Few houses can be found here — it's mostly about religious buildings, educational facilities, and a plethora of cafés, restaurants, and shops. The streets are packed with vendors. It is especially worth exploring the area of Mauristan, teeming with shops and colourful stalls. Used as a market during the Roman Empire, the area hosted churches and hospices during the Crusades (in Persian, "Mauristan" means hospital).
